Creating easy-to-provision private and public cloud services

You’ve seen all the reasons to move your business into the Cloud – flexibility, scalability, accessibility, all the “ilities.” But you’re still not sure you’re ready to leave the solid ground of your old IT infrastructure for one that seems more ethereal – even if it promises bluer skies ahead.

Together with partners and industry leaders such as NetApp, VMware and Cisco we make your path to the Cloud easy, helping you get out of the IT business (or at least reduce the amount of effort it requires) so you can focus on what you do best. Yet, while they’re easily accessible to you, each of our solutions is built with the highest level of security available to ensure that your systems and data are as safe (or safer) as they were when they resided in a locked room in your office.

Building and managing scalable data centers for any size business no matter where they are located.

The data center is the nerve center of your business. Users depend on data center applications running at peak performance with data available to authorized users, and resources available for new projects.

Data centers are complicated and your largest IT expense. A typical enterprise data center may house thousands of servers and hundreds of terabytes of storage. The physical infrastructure of your data center must support shifting asset allocation and management technologies such as virtualization.

As vendor-certified experts, we know how to integrate components from multiple vendors into a cohesive, manageable whole that performs to your application requirements. We provide feasibility analysis, technology master format planning, power and cooling systems analysis, cost budgeting, and project management.

Deploying integrated LAN, WAN, datacenter, and wireless networks

Whether you’re making a phone call, accessing a database, sharing a file, viewing a training video, closing a transaction, or sending an email, you’re doing it over a network.

Networks are the indispensible foundation for delivery of advanced IT services and complex mission-critical applications such as customer resource management (CRM), supply-chain management (SCM), or transactional applications. Virtually all organizations depend on networks to connect users with IT services, anytime, anywhere.

The experienced, vendor-certified experts help you design and deploy flexible, reliable, secure networks—on time and on budget. We are certified networking specialists in routing, switching, wireless, network security, and optimization. We also know how to supplement your networks with standards-based products from ecosystem partners and other vendors to provide the exact capabilities you need to operate and manage your network.

Protecting infrastructure, data, and applications

Are you chartered with protecting your business’ critical data? Every day throughout the world, insider’s copy proprietary secrets, identity thieves steal personal information, and hackers invent and publish new ways to penetrate the security of your infrastructure – physical, systems, and applications.

Today’s mobile workforce increases your vulnerability through wireless and mobile devices—such as smartphones, laptops, and memory sticks. The main threats come from physical loss of devices that contain access to your corporate systems and may contain a subset of your proprietary data. This exposes your company to the risk of data breaches or malware infections.

Developing a comprehensive security strategy requires a cross-functional approach to protect your business processes, proprietary secrets, and confidential information while meeting regulatory compliance. A security assessment from an experienced consultant identifies risks throughout your current IT infrastructures, applications, data, user interactions, and physical operations. We then recommend and help implement the necessary mitigation strategies, policies, and solutions to help you minimize your audit impact.

• Endpoint security
• Data security/Data loss prevention
• Web security

Accessing and managing data throughout its lifecycle, from creation through archiving

Effective data storage helps you:

• Complete audit compliance
• Reduce data management expenditures
• Simplify your storage processes
• Accelerate backup completion

Converging voice, video, and data onto a single network to enhance collaboration, messaging, and call centers

Hear the message amid the noise

Mobile communications devices such as smartphones and notepads have changed the way your teams, customers, and partners work together. Be it online meetings and teleconferencing systems to allow design teams to collaborate with manufacturing on the other side of the world, offering online chat services for your call center agents or sharing product videos online, creating a unified communication solution is now a requirement.

We will help you select, design, implement, and support a cohesive, unified communications solution that fits the way your business communicates and collaborates. As a Cisco Certified Partner, we have proven experience integrating your voice, video, data, and mobile applications using your existing wired and wireless networks.

• Expand your tech support and call center communication options with your customers and internal staff.
• Quickly make adds, moves, changes and updates in minutes.

Simplifying complex architectures with services that support rapid provisioning, server consolidation, and efficient asset utilization

Bring order to complexity

Enterprises are adopting virtualization to eliminate costly “server sprawl,” lower energy bills, and increase management control of IT resources.

Server virtualization enables consolidation of processing, storage, and network resources into a vast virtual pool that administrators can provision on the fly to set up and tear down services as needed. Consolidation reduces the number of physical devices, along with their power, space, and cooling requirements, to lower hard costs.

Desktop virtualization centralizes control of user computer and data resources. Today’s solutions centralize control and management of existing desktop and laptop computers and their applications. In the long term, desktop virtualization eliminates hands-on management of multiple versions of operating systems and applications in individual client devices. Users perform business processes using inexpensive client devices instead of costly, fully loaded personal computers.

We can help you achieve the full benefits of server and desktop virtualization. Our experts understand the complex interaction of hardware, applications, storage, and networks underlying the virtual fabric.

We can help you:

• Assess, design, implement, and support virtualized environments that fulfill your business goals
• Optimize the capabilities of virtualization throughout your entire IT infrastructure, ensuring a smooth, predictable transition
• Bring global perspective to your virtualization projects with our multiple vendor certifications spanning our extensive portfolio of award-winning data center, networking, storage and desktop solutions
