Converged Infrastructure

Introduction

CTEC Solutions will partner with your business for success by leveraging best practice methodology under relevant process definitions. This allows for the positive completion of any necessary preparation to allow success for latter stages through design and planning, through to deployment, operations and optimisation.  

We realise that your business may not require the full suite of E2E process engagements, in which case you can have bespoke tailored solutions to suit your requirements, whether they be change, KTLO/BAU specifics or design and transformation centric. At CTEC Solutions we are cognisant of the need to be agile so can do as little or as much of the E2E as your business needs, in order to drive your business advantage. 

We have already successfully partnered with a wide range of organisations throughout North America & Europe. With the latest technology we don’t let distance of geographic location become the limiting factor. 

There is a wide range of Converged Infrastructure (CI) consisting of integrated Compute, Network and Storage out on the marketplace, each with their own pros and cons. CTEC Solutions can help guide you on how best to proceed and obtain the best of breed business driven solution. 
 

Converged Infrastructure

• Good baseline performance predictability 
     Compute, Network and Storage sized according to workload  
     Up front for predicted sizing over number of years 
     Not easy to change once at performance limits 
• Good data service performance in most demanding environments  
     Traditional elements such as Snapshots, clones, Replication – Sync/Async 
• Storage controllers with lack of scale out 
     May reach a performance ceiling 
• Continued complexity and associated cost 
     Management of new virtual infra layers 
     Admin needs to be expert in not only compute, storage but also network 

It is safe to say that whatever converged Infrastructure is chosen that there is a very likely chance that there will be some coexistence within the same environment but from an integration perspective should be done on a case-by-case basis. 

CTEC Solutions can help with a number of Converged Infrastructure elements such as: 

• P2V consolidation and migrations 
• Security with Seg/uSeg 
• Hypervisor coexistence & integration 
• Software Switching enhancements 
• BCP and DR enhancements 
• Best practice design 
• Datacenter migrations 
• Greenfield and Brownfield implementations 
• Centralised management 
• Private-cloud integration 
• Public-cloud integration 

Here at CTEC we can look to provide further insight into the health of your systems and recommend remediation plans. We can engage to audit your current Infrastructure components and then guide you into how things should be and what the innovation possibilities are.
