Data center infrastructure

Optimizing your company resources with a modern data center infrastructure

A robust IT infrastructure is essential for the success and security of a company. Data centers, the core of IT infrastructure, are specially designed facilities that house the necessary hardware, software and network solutions to store, process and secure critical data and applications. An efficient data center infrastructure enables companies to react faster to market changes, increase system availability and minimize total cost of ownership.

As part of virtualization, physical components are simulated by software. These components can include operating systems, servers, storage devices and other hardware. This technology offers significant benefits, including cost savings, improved mobility of workloads and increased performance and availability of resources.

• Server virtualization: Multiple operating systems can be installed and run on a single physical server.
• Network virtualization: Physical networks are completely replicated in a virtual environment.
• Desktop virtualization: Enables users to access their familiar desktop environment from remote locations.

These forms of virtualization transform the IT infrastructure by increasing flexibility and efficiency while reducing the complexity of administration.

Converged and hyperconverged infrastructures

More and more companies are striving to move away from purchasing and managing their own hardware. They are increasingly opting for flexible self-service models that enable resources to be used as required. Converged infrastructure offers an excellent solution for this. This integrates various hardware components and management software into a single, seamless system that considerably simplifies data center management. In addition, the time-to-value, i.e. the time it takes to achieve the full value of IT assets, is significantly reduced compared to traditional, isolated IT structures. Another significant advantage is the simplified implementation of private and hybrid clouds for companies that opt for a converged infrastructure.

With hyperconverged infrastructure, critical IT components such as servers, storage media, virtual machines and networks are combined in a single, software-defined system. These components are detached from the physical hardware, which enables central administration and monitoring. This leads to a more efficient use of resources and improved scalability by reducing complexity and increasing flexibility.
