Infrastructure & Platforms

Design and installation of infrastructure

  • Servers, storage, SAN, LAN based IBM Power technologies, x64 servers, IBM FlashSystem, IBM Tape System, IBM Storage Networking, IBM AIX and Linux

  • High availability solutions (IBM PowerHA, Red Hat HA, SLE HA, Veritas cluster, HPE Serviceguard), IBM Storage Protect

  • Design and implementation of full stack infrastructure for enterprise applications including high availability, disaster recovery and monitoring solutions.

Migration, consolidation, optimization

  • Virtualization and cloud platforms and storge replication technologies

  • Migration (including geographic) of existing applications to optimize IT costs and improve resiliency

  • Consolidation of geographically dispersed IT infrastructure, use of cloud services e.g. to maintain latency of migrated services

Highperformance computing

  • Servers, storage, network elements, low-latency networks (InfiniBand), central management and monitoring systems

  • Vendor agnostic in design and implementation of HPC infrastructure, intensive cooperation with the customer in the design and integration of solutions into the existing HPC environment (job scheduling, monitoring, etc.)

Cloud

  • Design and implementation of customer's cloud environment from on-premise cloud to hybrid cloud

  • Focus on balanced approach to technology choice with regard to, simplicity and manageability

  • Assistance with adoption of cloud environments and the transition to a cloud-native way of developing and managing applications

Infrastructure automation

  • Enabling automated deployment of virtual servers and their integration with the customer's existing operational infrastructure

  • Monitoring, security standards, backups including automatic backup verification) and processes (resource approval, usage reporting)

Software defined storage

  • Customized data storage according to specific customer requirements for performance, capacity, specific usage

  • NAS, block-storage, S3 compatible storage, hybrid cloud storage, HPC, multimedia, archive

  • Traditional storage solutions do not cover specific customer requirements

Services & Consulting

  • Infrastructure management with SLA (monitoring, reporting, capacity/performance reporting)

  • Resolving operational incidents and change requests including communication with HW vendors

  • Monitoring and reporting on performance parameters of the SLA itself (numbers and classification of incidents, monitoring compliance with defined response times and resolution of incidents and change requests)

  • Proactive approach to infrastructure development and optimization
