1. Meet Business Goals with Data Center Solutions
Wikipedia defines datacenter as “a facility used to house computer systems and associated
components, such as telecommunications and storage systems.” Consisting of redundant or backup
power supplies, redundant data communications connections, environmental controls (e.g., air
conditioning, fire suppression) and security devices, it is the data center that stores, manages and
disseminates data and information. Hence, datacenters are the most important part of any
enterprise.
Data centers are the lifeblood of any organization as it helps enterprises to run their business
smoothly and efficiently and thereby ensure business continuity. Hence, data center operation and
maintenance should be carried out effectively. However, enterprises bogged down by the
responsibilities of running daily business operations, managing and maintaining data center
operations effectively is definitely a chain around their feet. In such a scenario, enterprises must
partner with experts in providing datacenter solutions to manage data centers more efficiently. Here
is a look at some of the data center solutions provided by the leading solution providers.
Storage Servers
As the name implies, storage servers come with extra storage. As it is designed for a specific purpose,
it comes with at least 6, 12 or 24 disks unlike regular servers which have 5 or fewer disks inside.
● Rack-optimized storage servers feature the latest multi-core high performance technology,
energy-efficient architecture and are ideally suited for Virtualization, Clustering and Cloud
Computing
● Configured for maximum virtualization performance
2. High Performance Computing Cluster
A computer cluster refers to a set of loosely connected computers that work together as a single
system. Clustering is done to improve performance and availability and is much more cost effective
than operating single computers of same speed and availability.
● Helps to build dynamic, integrated HPC cluster infrastructure that is easy-to-deploy and
easy-to-manage
● Helps to speed access to information, reduce risk and manage growth more easily
● Provides customized pre-integrated HPC cluster solutions from HP and IBM to client’s specific
requirements
Unified Storage Solution
Unified storage is defined as “A single, integrated storage infrastructure that functions as unification
engines to simultaneously support Fibre Channel, IP Storage Area Networks (SAN) and Network
Attached Storage (NAS) data formats.”
● Helps enterprises to store, protect, optimize, and leverage their information, from a single
e-mail to production databases
● Helps to achieve instant data sharing; data protection; or implementing a heterogeneous
storage environment efficiently and cost effectively
● Offers custom designed SAN, NAS, iSCSI, JBOD or DAS solutions to achieve goals
Thus, enterprises can meet current and future business goals by partnering with solutions providers
who deliver innovative data center solutions.
