HYBRID DATA CENTRE TRENDS
In our approach to building data centre infrastructure, we include all available options. Whether you use a standard infrastructure or a hyperconverged infrastructure, or whether your solution is purely cloud-based, we can help you find the optimal solution that best suits your situation. For someone, a full on-premise solution is the best option, yet for someone else it makes more sense to just use the cloud or even combine the best of the on-premise environment and the cloud into a hybrid environment.
A DATA CENTRE GUIDE
THE CURRENT SITUATION AND EXPECTATIONS
- An assessment of the current state of your infrastructure
- A joint discussion about your plans and intentions (on-premise vs. cloud vs. hybrid solution)
THE OUTLINING OF POSSIBLE OPTIONS
- An analysis and general design of possible solutions
- A discussion about the compliance aspect of the solution
- Licensing optimization
IMPLEMENTATION
- A detailed design elaboration and solution deployment
- The migration of the existing environment
- Process and application optimization
DOCUMENTATION, TRAINING, AND ADOPTION
- Providing training to your IT staff as is necessary
- Providing documentation of the entire solution
- Preparing background documents (or the entire adoption process) in your company
SUPPORT AND ADMINISTRATION
- Subsequent support (including upgrades and patching)
- Support for your key personnel
WHERE DATA CENTRES ARE HEADING
The future of data centres – the trend is moving towards a hybrid environment, with an emphasis on flexibility.
TRADITIONAL ARCHITECTURE
- Hybrid cloud management
- Storage (disk array)
- Computing power (servers)
- Networking (switches)
CONVERGED INFRASTRUCTURE
- Hybrid cloud management
- Hyperconverged data platform
- Fabric computing
HYPERCONVERGED INFRASTRUCTURE (HCI)
- An infrastructure which is divided into separate parts (each of which can be supplied by a different vendor)
- Each part with its own management tools
- Combining the computing power and software-defined networks
- Software-defined server configuration
- Connecting a software-defined storage to a converged solution
- Complete environment management
- Multi-cloud environment – hybrid environment development
