After the snow!

snow

Well January was quite a month!

The sheer amount of snow and ice disrupted a number of installations and projects due that month. This has meant we have had to compress January and February projects into February. This has been fun!

Still we are on track to achieve all that was required. We at Serv-IT hope it was not too bad for your business.

The cost of the snow disruption to the UK has been astronomical, many billions of pounds. Here’s hoping it’s all done till next year at least. It was all apparently down to the Artic Oscillation or some such thing. However onward to the sunshine in summer!

Network optimisation

150x150_fitbox-certeon.jpeg

Serv-IT have been reviewing a number of WAN optimisation products over the last few months. While the price of telephone/data is not as prohibitive as it once was it is still an expense that is significant for many businesses. We are now in a position to recommend a product that we believe can provide the relevant performance cost ratio.

aCelera is the first and only WAN optimization software solution to deliver increased application acceleration and scalability, while reducing IT total cost of ownership (TCO). Certeon's aCelera WAN optimization solution reduces application response times by more than 95%, increasing user productivity.

aCelera software optimizes and reduces network traffic by de-duplicating data and only sending data changes over the WAN. aCelera is the first and only WAN acceleration and application acceleration solution that can deliver outstanding performance on industry standard servers, without the need for proprietary hardware appliances.

Disaster Recovery & Replication

veeam_esxi_replication.jpeg

Many business needs to run 24x7. Recovering from IT issues means real business disruption. Disruption businesses can ill-afford. Due to the growing the risk levels in today’s world Site/system replication is now one of the major driving forces in IT.

 Planning for the big failure whether it's someone's fault or plain old bad luck is a significant evolutionary step in any business's progress. It’s the moment that the real assets of the business become part of a plan.

 In the time honoured way, reliance on a physical infrastructure for DR is accepted practice. Physical infrastructure for DR adds cost. Virtualisation frees systems from their physical machines, decoupling each application from its reliance on specific hardware. The result: a lower cost DR site.
