Many organisations face serious capacity issues within their data centres as they reach the physical limits of their current facilities with regards to space, power and cooling. Time to reconsider data centre management? We think we can help:
- Data centre audit
- Data centre virtualisation & consolidation
- Data storage
- Data archiving
- Data backup
- Data centre management
Our Data Centre Practice can help you create a tailored strategy for managing your data centre, enabling you to virtualise, standardise, consolidate, relocate, migrate and expand effectively. We’ll also ensure that your existing infrastructure is optimised and re-used effectively to lower costs.
Managed Data Centre Services
As well as the initial strategy development and delivery of data centre transformation programmes, we can also provide after care services to help you manage your data centre on an on-going basis. We can even provide hosted managed services which enable you to transform your datacentre without any capital outlay.
Green Data Centres
We are committed to reducing the carbon emissions of data centres through the use of virtualised environments and the re-use of existing infrastructures. We can help you to calculate the emissions of your existing data centre and calculate the potential reduction to be achieved by transforming your data centre.
Business Benefits
With demands on the datacentre growing and physical space declining, there are immediate benefits to be gained from a new approach to data centre management:
- Reduce the cost of the data centre with fewer servers to support & maintain and less energy consumption for power & cooling
- Increased business agility with faster server provisioning
- Free up un-utilised data centre capacity
- Reduce environmental impact with reduced electricity consumption and the re-use of existing infrastructure to create an immediately sustainable environment
Who we've helped
Implementing a Dell Compellent storage solution has enabled Sheffield Hallam University to double its storage capacity without increasing power consumption.
A new High Performance Computing (HPC) infrastructure has enabled Heriot Watt University’s Institute of Petroleum to extend its pioneering oil & gas research; reduce costs and increase availability of critical data to researchers.
A continued drive for efficiency led Knowsley Council to review its options for the delivery of its Unix environment and move this element of its IT delivery to a managed service.
