Data Center

The Data center is a facility used to house computer systems and associated components, such as telecommunications and storage systems. It generally includes redundant or backup power supplies, redundant data communications connections, environmental controls (e.g., air conditioning, fire suppression) and various security devices.

The real gains offered by mobility elude most companies because so few appreciate its truly disruptive nature. Once mobility is introduced into a business process, there is no turning it off. And it quickly becomes obvious how other processes can be enhanced and interconnected. Mobility now means that the customer chooses if, how and when to interact. So it is all too important to let your mobile strategy evolve by default. Mobility offers companies the chance to maximize the value made in other technology investments such as cloud, big data and other disruptive technologies. Mobility solves the "last-mile problem" of innovation, putting the power of applications and information directly into the hands of users.

Converged Infrastructure

Converged infrastructure uses the concept of a modular architecture to enable IT organizations to easily, quickly, reliably and affordably install, upgrade and scale their operations. Converged infrastructure is an innovative and integrated approach to servers, storage and networking implementation. ITSAgility solutions architects bring together the right combination of quality products to address - and go far beyond - common data center challenges such as performance, availability and agility.

Converged infrastructure is an enabler of cloud (private or hybrid) and a foundation for creating modular, virtualized, and automated IT systems. Here are three established benefits:

• Improved service provisioning time.
• Reduced deployment costs.
• Create application-tuned infrastructure.

Storage and Storage Optimization

Data accumulation can create a significant storage crunch, leading to storage environments that are costly and inefficient.
We provide comprehensive, proven capabilities to architect storage environments that improve productivity and manageability and deliver cost savings. Our expertise, coupled with vendor alliances, enable us to define, deploy, and support the most effective data storage solutions for your business. Enterprise storage solutions include products of all Enterprise Storage Vendors , and Pure Storage and allow you to:

• Easily manage data security in a heterogeneous environment.
• Ensure rapid, complete disaster recovery.
• Address regulatory compliance requirements.
• Control increasing amounts of business-critical data.
• Minimize data storage system downtime.
• Simplify complex data backup and recovery tasks.
• Reduce storage server requirements.

Fast and scalable storage to reduce IT operational costs
Building a scalable storage infrastructure that's fast is a strategic way to reduce the cost of IT operations. We help you sort through architecture and product options, recommending solutions that align best with your needs. <br>Our scalable storage solutions include:

• Flash storage
• Remote site replication
• Data deduplication
• Disk-based backup and recovery
• Tape-based backup and recovery
• Data protection software
• Primary storage
• Secondary storage
• Scale-out storage
• Scale-up storage

Our storage assessment service is a comprehensive analysis of an organization’s storage infrastructure – its architecture, devices, configuration, utilization and operation – with the goal of providing recommendations for quick improvements and long-term benefits through storage optimization. Our assessments cover:

• Review of existing storage architecture against current and anticipated requirements
• Evaluation of the capacity, performance, and availability of storage resources
• Identification of opportunities for storage optimization and reclamation to reduce storage costs
• Analyzing configuration and operation of storage devices against best practices

Virtualization and consolidation

Data centre virtualization and consolidation reduces both the number and types of assets required to operate and manage your environment, laying the groundwork for effective IT governance.
More than just virtualizing physical assets, We leverages the power of virtualization to enable greater efficiency across servers, storage, and networks. Through our proven, incremental server-to-storage-to-network data centre virtualization and consolidation strategies, we help your business optimize overall performance and efficiency to leverage the benefits of a unified data center, including:

• Fewer management points.
• Increased sharing among applications.
• Greater agility.
• Standardization.
• Better overall performance.
• Reduced infrastructure footprint.
• Shared server, storage, and network resource pools.

Backup and Data Protection

ITSAgility has a long, successful history of architecting data protection strategies that address key business needs.
When you partner with us, you benefit from more than 25 years of data protection experience and real-world expertise with technologies from industry leaders like EMC, Hitachi, NetApp, and Symantec. Our tools-assisted analysis and engineering-led solutions have delivered measurable results to our customers.

• Reduced operating costs and expenditures
• Adherence to compliance and regulatory requirements
• Consolidation of multiple backup environments
• Increased emphasis on achieving recovery time objectives and recovery point objectives
• Effective management of spiraling data growth
• Reliable backup strategies

ITSAgility data protection solutions can include current backup configuration and policies, and provide an upgrade strategy focusing on environment availability and manageability. Recommendations for data security improvements include the use of new technical capabilities, integration with data storage and data encryption applications, and consolidation of environments. We also investigate how alternative service delivery models might prove to be part of an effective strategy. Finally, we investigate how a data security strategy can be leveraged for all or part of a comprehensive disaster recovery business continuity strategy.

Power & Cooling

In many data centers, power and cooling infrastructure has not kept pace with the dramatic changes in the IT environment. Technologies like blade servers, VoIP and virtualization have all affected processing power needs with the potential to create high-density heat issues. ITSAgility is ready to give you a complete power and cooling strategy necessary for keeping costs down and boosting efficiency.

Benefits for Efficiency
Environmental monitoring and cooling solutions help keep mission-critical demand of new servers and blades operational and profitable. In partnership with leading power and cooling product manufacturers, ITSAgility experts can help design, configure and implement a solution for your organization that optimizes the efficiencies of your data center. We offer a full array of BTO/CTO, preconfigured and modular power and cooling systems for the data center space.

Business Continuity

It’s an “always-on”, 24/7 world, and access to data has become as essential to businesses as people and capital; sometimes, downtime is just not an option. But, not all data is the same - some data is considered critical to the business, some is passive, and some needs to be handled in compliance with a global array of regulations and laws. Adding to the complexity, each type of data comes with its own requirements around availability and accessibility. So, you need an approach that will work for all data types, across all types of storage environments.

• Achieve 99.999% uptime
• Two and Four node active/active clusters, deployable in either Local and Metro “stretch” configurations
• Lower costs by modernizing existing hardware and prolong investments
• Enhance lower-cost hardware to achieve enterprise-class uptime and availability
• Storage hardware no longer has to be identical on all nodes

Eliminate worry by knowing your business-critical data is always available when and where you need
