Next Generation Data Center Advisory Services

Data Center design and topologies have evolved drastically; as the requirement for on-demand services, rapid elasticity within your data center, multi-threat security systems, virtualization requirements, application control delivery, application acceleration, high performance and extreme low latency fabric have all played a key role in the evolution of next generation data centers.

New developments within Data Center industry such as flat fabric, any to any connectivity with extreme low latency, developments within the Ethernet protocol, on demand security services that are agile and dynamic based on applications, complete provisioning lifecycle of infrastructure are some of the key component what makes a data center design architecture into reality. By working with best-in-class technology vendors M INTERGRAPH Solution are able to offer organizations that are looking to transform their legacy data centers into the next-generation data centers based on simplified architecture, agile security services, use of shared resources and automation of operational and maintenance functions.

Data centers can be categorized into two areas; ones that generate revenue and ones that provide operational support and services functions to the business;

  • Transactional Production Data Center Network
  • Content and Hosting Services Production Data Center Network
  • High-Performance Compute (HPC) Production Data Center Network
  • Enterprise IT Data Centers
  • Small and Midsize Business IT Data Center
