Compute/ Storage Design & Implementation

Our compute design and implementation services focus on optimising your server and processing capabilities to support your business operations efficiently. We work with you to design a robust compute infrastructure that can handle your current workloads and scale as your business grows. Additionally, we collaborate closely with your team, respecting and integrating any methodologies you already have in place, while also incorporating our extensively practised methodologies to ensure the best outcomes for your IT infrastructure.

Key features of our compute design and implementation services include:

• Server Virtualisation: Implementing server virtualisation to maximise resource utilisation and reduce hardware costs.
• High-Performance Computing: Designing high-performance computing solutions to support demanding applications and workloads.
• Scalability and Flexibility
• Cloud and Hybrid Solutions: Utilise cloud services (public, private, or hybrid) to ensure scalability and flexibility.
• Microservices Architecture: Adopt microservices to enhance modularity and scalability.

Energy Efficiency:

Energy-Efficient Hardware: Use energy-efficient servers and processors to reduce power consumption.

Liquid Cooling: Implement liquid cooling systems to improve cooling efficiency and reduce energy use.

Automation and Orchestration:

Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Use IaC tools like Terraform or Ansible for automated and consistent infrastructure deployment.

Containerisation: Leverage container orchestration platforms like Kubernetes for efficient resource management.

Scalability: Ensuring your compute infrastructure can scale seamlessly to accommodate growth and changing business requirements.

Security: Implementing robust security measures to protect your compute resources from threats and vulnerabilities.

Our storage design and implementation services ensure that your data is stored securely, accessed efficiently, and managed effectively. We help you design a storage infrastructure that meets your performance, capacity, and availability requirements.

Key features of our storage design and implementation services include:

• Storage Virtualisation: Utilising storage virtualisation to improve storage efficiency and flexibility.
• Data Protection: Implementing data protection strategies, including backup and disaster recovery solutions, to safeguard your critical data.
• Performance Optimisation: Designing storage solutions that deliver high performance for your applications and workloads.
• Capacity Planning: Ensuring your storage infrastructure can accommodate future growth and data demands.
• Data Tiering and Management:
• Tiered Storage: Implement tiered storage solutions to optimise cost and performance by categorising data based on access frequency. Frequently accessed data can be stored on high-performance storage, while less frequently accessed data can be moved to more cost-effective storage tiers.
• Data Lifecycle Management: Use policies to manage data from creation to deletion, ensuring compliance and efficiency. This includes automated data archiving and deletion processes.

Software-Defined Storage (SDS):

Flexibility and Scalability: SDS provides a flexible and scalable storage solution that can adapt to changing needs. It abstracts storage resources from the underlying hardware, allowing for easier management and expansion.

Automation: Automate storage management tasks to reduce manual intervention and improve efficiency. This includes automated provisioning, monitoring, and maintenance.
Security and Compliance:

Encryption: Ensure data is encrypted both at rest and in transit to protect against unauthorised access. Use strong encryption standards and regularly update encryption protocols.
Edge Storage:

Decentralised Storage: Implement edge storage solutions to store and process data closer to the source, reducing latency and bandwidth use. This is particularly useful for IoT and real-time data processing.

AI and Machine Learning:

AI-Driven Storage Management: Use AI and ML for predictive maintenance, performance optimisation, and anomaly detection. AI can help in identifying storage bottlenecks and optimising resource allocation.
Sustainability:

Green Storage Solutions: Focus on sustainable practices, such as using energy-efficient storage devices and optimising energy use. Consider using renewable energy sources for data centres.
