Server and Storage Solutions
The server and storage is one of biggest and most pressing concerns of IT departments, Our server and storage solutions are very cost effective high performance and well scalable.
Servers
- Business intelligence
- Consolidation
- Data warehousing
- Security
- Virtualisation
- Web infrastructure
Storage
- Backup and restore
- Business continuity
- Data replication
- IT consolidation
- Storage infrastructure
Virtualization
Virtualization technique that involves partitioning a physical server into a number of small, virtual servers with the help of virtualization software. In server virtualization, each virtual server runs multiple operating system instances at the same time.
Advantages
In earlier times, single user required a whole dedicated system to perform various tasks. The underutilization of resources increased the resource cost. At the same time IT Desktop support process was hard because it was not easy to have upgrades and patch management and most importantly the recovery management. Each machine had its own single OS image with Software and hardware tightly coupled. Multiple application execution created conflicts. With virtualization came the following benefits:
There are various benefits for server virtualization. Some of these are:
- Allows you to multiply the amount of servers with less physical hardware
- Consolidation of hardware and running costs isolation of systems / software that conflict, making your infrastructure more efficient
- Flexible and easy to manage, enabling movement of servers between locations with no downtime.
- More uptime in the event of a crash – data moving from one server to another with little to no interruption allowing the server to remain active
- Block level backups using virtual tools, allowing restoration right down to mailbox, AD and SQL level – can be achieved in minutes (much quicker than other backup methods).
- Hardware utilization – make use of all available CPU, memory and disk resources, rather than using less than 10% of their potential most of the time
Linux Server Solutions
Linux servers are becoming increasingly popular due partly to the inherent stability and security of the open source O/S but, equally, because Linux servers are a lot cheaper to configure compared to those running Windows. And when you consider that most implementations also come with a mass of bundled application software to support web, database and e-mail servers, and more, at little or no extra cost, it starts to become a tempting option.
We help you build robust servers using GNU/Linux. Some of the popular examples are:
- Web Server
- Firewall, Internet Gateway and VPN
- FTP Server
- Database Server
- E-mail Server
- DNS Server
- File Servers: NFS, NIS, Samba
- Print Server
- LDAP Server
- Virtualization
- Migration to Linux
- Backup and disaster recovery
- Scripting and automating tasks
