Optimise Servers Optimisation of your Server Infrastructure Spending all your time managing Server Sprawl? Servers have a nasty habit of multiplying. The easy option for so many scenarios is to "add another server" but this simply adds to power costs, rack space usage, maintenance & servicing and complexity. Alternative options include; Server Virtualisation to increase the number of servers without adding boxes, Blade & High Density arrays to save power and space, efficient tuning to maximise performance of existing servers and Load Balancers and Content Management systems to maximise the availability of those servers. Technologies to Optimise your Servers: * Citrix XenServer Server Virtualisation * Nimsoft Unified Monitoring * PatchSee Cabling * Pervade Data Gathering and Analysis * SGI Workgroup Performance Servers * Veloxum Intelligent Performance Tuning Optimise Endpoints Optimisation of your End User Devices Distributed Networks don't have to distribute the workload! End User Devices take the challenges of effectively managing Hardware & Peripherals, Operating Systems and Applications further and further away from the IT Teams. Inevitable Networking and Systems problems become compounded as more and more people are working from remote offices, home and on the road. This is driving more and more organisations to explore Thin Client and Virtual Desktop technologies the key vendors have made leaps and bounds in the development of quicker, easier and more cost effective systems. Technologies to Optimise your PCs: * 10ZiG Thin Client Desktop Devices * Citrix XenDesktop & XenClient * Kaviza VDI-in-a-Box * LifeSize High Definition Video Conferencing * Vyatta Software-based Routing & Security * Veloxum Intelligent Performance Tuning Optimise WANs Optimisation of your Wide Area Network WAN - Enabling Platform or Limiting Bottleneck? If you have Mobile or Home Workers, Satellite Offices or Remote Sites, then you need to provide many or all of the Services you provide on your 100Mbps or 1GBps LAN, over much smaller (sometimes less than 1Mbps) contended connections, the quality of which are controlled by someone else, and this presents a completely new set of challenges. Technologies to Optimise your WAN: * Talari Adaptive Private Networking * Riverbed Bandwidth Optimisation * Vyatta Software-based Routing & Security * Veloxum Intelligent Performance Tuning Optimise Storage Optimisation of your Data Storage Infrastructure Storage does not have to be proprietary! Centralisation of Data has become the "norm" for most organisations. Having all of your business critical data in a central location means it can be better protected and more easily managed. The major storage vendors however have protected their share of this growing market by making their systems proprietary and complex and by insisting that identical hardware is deployed for replication systems to work. Some manufacturers however, have sought to make storage systems simpler to use, easier to manage and able to integrate with existing systems to breathe new life into previous investments as well as create better data delivery systems. Technologies to Optimise your Storage: * ExaGrid Disk Based Backup * Hitachi Data Systems Storage * Huawei Symantec Storage Systems * Infortrend Storage & Deduplication * NextIO I/O Virtualisation * Riverbed Cloud Optimisation * SGI High Density Storage Systems Optimise DR/BC Optimisation of Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity Systems "Always On" - can be a reality, not a pipedream! The purpose of Backups, Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity systems is to minimise the amount of time that staff will be unable to do their work in the event of disruption to buildings or systems. This time is defined by the period between the RPO and the RTO - the Recovery Point Objective (the point from which systems and data can be restored) and Recovery Time Objective (the time at which systems and data are once again available to users). Traditionally, the shorter the time, the more expensive the solution however, there are some innovative technologies that can reduce downtime to just a few seconds for a fraction of the cost you'd imagine.
