EXPERTISE CENTRES

GUARANTEEING AVAILABILITY FOR YOUR BUSINESS CRITICAL SYSTEMS

When IT is central to your business, it’s simply not acceptable for your infrastructure or its components to be unavailable. You need the ability to be responsive to incidents – and be able to avoid damage and potential failures.

In addition, your IT department needs to implement best practices during any digital transformation, to ensure IT service levels are always met, and can continually adapt to the needs of businesses.

Our Expertise Centres can help with all of this – offering end-to-end monitoring with capacity planning, Data Centre Infrastructure Management (DCIM) and high availability services for mission-critical IT and facilities.

CAPACITY PLANNING

As information systems become ever more complex, controlling resources is becoming an increasingly difficult and strategic task.

Capacity Planning gives your IT department an accurate view of how your IT resources are used over time, so they can be adjusted to meet current and future user needs.

DATA CENTRE INFRASTRUCTURE MANAGEMENT (DCIM)

Our Expertise Centres can actively help you implement DCIM solutions, including resource mapping, measuring real-time data centre utilisation rates and assessing the impact of a project on the available resources.

END TO END MONITORING

While technologies such as cloud and virtualisation are convenient and flexible, they also increase complexity – so operational indicators are often limited to raw technical data, isolated into silos.

With our End to End Monitoring services, you get an integrated view of the performance of all layers of the physical, virtual and cloud infrastructures: from data on to energy, IT and non-IT components right through the intermediate layers up to applications.

You can also monitor the health of your IT in real time. End to End Monitoring will provide alerts, dashboards and custom reports reflecting service performance, all accessible by you via a secure portal.
