Servers
Describe applications, user count and expected workload. Configuration depends on computing power, storage and availability requirements.
OUR SERVICES
Servers and computing infrastructure
Servers, data storage and infrastructure. Supply, design and configuration.
CONFIGURATIONFOR YOUR TASK.
Computing
For your applications and workload.
Storage
For your data volume and requirements.
Backup
For restoring systems and data.
What this service covers
SAN/NAS storage
Specify data volume, growth and user count. Include access protocols, disk redundancy and backup procedures.
Data centre infrastructure
Describe the site scale and equipment. Specify power, cooling and business continuity requirements.
Virtualisation
List servers, operating systems and virtual machines. Specify workload, licences and resilience requirements.
Backup
List the data and systems to protect. Specify backup frequency, retention and acceptable recovery time.
Structured cabling and LANs
Provide a floor plan and workstation count. The design needs network speed, outlet positions and expansion requirements.
Wi-Fi
Describe the area, layout and concurrent connections. Specify coverage, device types and guest network needs.
Rack installation
Provide rack dimensions and equipment list. Specify location, power, cable routes and maintenance access.
Commissioning
List equipment and expected operating modes. Specify access, dependencies and acceptance criteria.
Design and assessment
Describe the existing infrastructure and assessment goal. Prepare diagrams, equipment lists and known constraints.
Resources for your workload
Server infrastructure starts with applications and data. Compute, storage, virtualisation and backup are considered together. When expanding an existing system, we account for compatibility, rack space, power and maintenance access.
WHERE WE START.
Provide your applications, user count, data volume and expected growth. For an existing site, server and storage specifications, a network diagram and recovery requirements are useful. Do not send passwords or confidential data through the public form.
WHAT WE AGREE ON.
We define the configuration, scope of work and acceptance criteria. The proposal distinguishes supply, installation, configuration and ongoing maintenance. Backup planning specifies which data is protected and how recovery will be tested.
QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS SERVICE
Can an existing server room be expanded?
We first review the installed equipment, licences, available resources and site constraints. We can then determine what to retain, what to upgrade and how to organise the transition.
Does a disk array replace a backup?
No. Disk redundancy and backups serve different purposes. Data protection requires a separate procedure for copying, retention and recovery testing.
