Server Infrastructure
Server Infrastructure continues to change and bring with it dynamic options for our client. As will all new technologies, EDCi continues to drive new and innovative solutions to reduce complexity and drive efficiency. With our Server Infrastructure practice EDCi uses its expertise in Microsoft, VMware, IBM Blade Servers and SAN solutions to create virtualized solutions that can improve the client experience and reduce data center complexity.
Our expertise in enterprise environments includes the ability to assess the current infrastructure, design, deploy, project manage, and maintain your systems. Our highly trained staff of certified engineers can help you make any project successful. Our areas of expertise are:
- Microsoft - Our Microsoft Certified Engineers have experience working with Active Directory/Exchange for over 10,000 users.
- XenServer - Virtualization is a proven software technology that is rapidly transforming the IT landscape and fundamentally changing the way that people compute. Today’s powerful x86 computer hardware was originally designed to run only a single operating system and a single application, but virtualization breaks that bond, making it possible to run multiple operating systems and multiple applications on the same computer at the same time, increasing the utilization and flexibility of hardware.
- IBM Blade Centers – Your business is dynamic. A one-size-fits-all solution simply won’t work. To meet your broad and diverse needs, you want your IT infrastructure to be flexible and modular. IBM BladeCenter offers a comprehensive portfolio of compatible chassis, blades and switches that are easily managed from a common point. And with the latest Intel-based Blade server, the HS21 XM, pick the right internal storage solution: SAS, USB flash or solid state storage. You need enterprise-class reliability to keep your business up and running. IBM BladeCenter is designed with extensive redundancy to reduce failures. Add tools that can help you quickly diagnosis a problem such as IBM Predictive Failure Analysis® and light path diagnostics to help preserve application uptime.
- IBM Storage Area Networks - IBM System Storage solutions can help you automate and simplify IT operations so you can focus on your business needs and spend less time managing your infrastructure. Comprehensive integration testing with IBM servers, software, SAN switches and storage provides simplified customer installation which meets user expectations. IBM TotalStorage Productivity Center for Fabric provides support for heterogeneous SAN fabrics including Brocade, Cisco, McDATA, QLogic and Emulex switches with end-to-end performance management. IBM is the interoperability leader in offering support for heterogeneous Brocade, Cisco and McDATA switch fabrics. To help you meet the challenge of increasing your return on people and creating an environment for competitive advantage, IBM SAN switches provide the reliable, scalable and high performance Fibre Channel connectivity required to capitalize on enterprise-wide data sharing and collaboration. IBM offers a full line up of intelligent SAN switches, directors and routers to connect servers and storage systems in local, campus, metro and global infrastructures. IBM was first to market with a comprehensive portfolio of 4 Gigabit per second server, storage, software and switch solutions. IBM was also first to market with 4 and 10 Gbps metro connectivity and Gigabit Ethernet global connectivity SAN director features.
