New IT Refresh
We can assist in providing a complete datacentre refresh including; design (racking, cabling), specifying new equipment, supplying, installing and configuration for your new 21st century datacentre. We worked with a leading UK construction company to provide a complete datacentre refresh using 20 42U racks. Planning took 2 years and we installed and configured everything below in 1 month, including all the network configuration and routing. The design we proposed had no single points of failure and all systems had multiple paths to data and information.
- 5x Fujitsu ETERNUS SAN storage arrays
- Brocade Fibre Channel and Ethernet networks across 3 floors
- 32x Fujitsu PRIMERGY servers
The work involved many discussions with key vendors, including technical visits, training and technical assessments. This was the first time in 15 years that they had not bought HP equipment! To this day the IT manager states “It’s the most reliable equipment we have ever used”. This is a testament to us providing the right solution the first time.

Extended Life of IT Equipment
Many businesses today refresh servers and storage every 3-5 years, even though this equipment is perfectly functional it doesn’t provide the performance required by the latest applications. To extend the life of older IT storage solutions, why not connect it up to a software defined storage solution that accelerates all the read whilst delivering up to 10x the performance of the existing storage and at a fraction of the price of a new data storage solution.
Consolidation of Storage
Data today is the lifeblood of any business. It could be a new product design or the latest website showcasing new products or services. A business will acquire the relevant IT equipment to run these applications and typically involves a new storage solution whereby all software is loaded and shared. As time passes we end up with pools of storage that are difficult to manage due to disparity between the different vendors ways of managing things. We provide a complete range of solutions that could manage all of these disparate storage pools from a single GUI. Alternatively, you might want to move 100TB’s of data to a new storage platform, but the older storage doesn’t directly connect and it could take weeks to move the data across the network.
