IP NETWORK SOLUTIONS FOR DATA CENTER

Improving business responsiveness

The network infrastructure solutions for Data Center provided by Datanet Systems facilitates consolidation by supporting distinct application and server environments on the same physical infrastructure, and by maintaining their virtual separation for security and availability purposes. This intelligent IP infrastructure, when combined with the appropriate storage network, provides IT organizations with a data center network foundation that delivers the security, availability, manageability, and optimized application delivery required to meet and surpass service-level agreements, rapidly deploy new applications, support new technologies, and scale to accommodate future growth.

Data Center roles and trends

The “brain” of any IT&C system, the Data Center is the entity that aggregates most of the computing, storage and software resources of the enterprise. Those resources are interconnected and accessed by the users on a high availability network infrastructure.

Applications commonly stand alone in underutilized and isolated environments. Each application is optimized for performance, and a typical Data Center supports several operating systems, computing platforms, and storage systems. The disparate infrastructures supporting different application “islands” are difficult to change and expensive to manage, integrate, secure, and back up. In order to address these problems, the consolidation of Data Center facilities has been a key industry trend, enabling enterprises to centralize resources and improve service levels to the business while decreasing ownership costs.

Given the increased reliance on a centralized Data Center, the stakes associated with disruptions are higher than ever. As a result, it has become vital that the Data Center be architected to ensure users have reliable and secure access to corporate services housed in Data Center.

Another key trend affecting the enterprise and Data Center network is the movement toward the virtualization of services. Virtualization allows for much of the functionality previously delivered through point products to be delivered within the context of a single-network framework.

Business operations today require Data Centers to have maximum uptime. Data Center managers cannot achieve availability through simple redundancy or resilience features.  Availability is the result of a life-cycle approach to the network infrastructure. Human error is the most common cause of downtime; therefore, it is vital to implement at the same time the best technologies and the best practices in network operations and management to realize business continuance.

Each company shall determine its optimal network architecture matching business continuity and all connectivity, performance and security requirements. Datanet Systems solutions and professional services offers customized solutions and professional services for each client Data Center, LAN and WAN infrastructure needs.
