Data Centre Services

Your requirements need to adapt to new technologies, delivered with flexible and transparent commercial solutions.

Today’s data centres must be robust, resilient, scalable and optimised for the cloud. Toward this, we can transform and future-proof your data centre while retaining your business continuity.

We provide a wide range of data centre services from individual components, technologies and software designed to improve the efficient operation of your data centre, through to a comprehensive data centre transformation service.

Data centre transformation

Data centre evolution is driven by exponentially increasing demands from businesses and consumers, with cloud computing being the catalyst of change. Modern data centres are radically different from their early models. Typically today’s data centre is a complex virtual and physical infrastructure where speed, performance, scalability, security and efficiency are the primary concerns.

Any transformation project must begin with a full understanding of your current IT environment and a vision of its transformation to a private or hybrid cloud. Transitioning to the cloud requires multiple steps that can be made in harmony with your organisation and team while consolidating your existing data centres.

Core transformation tasks

The three primary transformation tasks include:

Transitioning to the cloud

There are numerous cloud options. For instance, a hybrid cloud might utilise a mix of on-premises, public cloud, and private cloud services.

Data centre virtualisation

Various forms of virtualisation are possible, ranging from server virtualisation to a highly virtualised infrastructure where all storage, compute and networking is configured and managed by software and the environment extended into the cloud infrastructure.

Workload management

Workload management must be reconfigured for a transition to cloud optimised services, including platform as a service (PaaS), software as a service (SaaS) and other delivery on-demand applications.

Data centre transformation security

While your data centre undergoes significant transformation, security solutions are needed to protect sensitive data throughout the transformation process. Enterprises must be protected from the seemingly constant threat from hackers and international cybercriminals. Necessary measures include intrusion detection systems, next-generation firewalls, DDoS blocking, and network address protection. We ensure that your guard never drops.

Future-proofing your transformed data centre

Data demand will continue to grow exponentially into the foreseeable future. Sustainability is already a significant issue. Data centres must become more energy-efficient while satisfying an ever-growing demand for volume and speed. Continual innovation will be needed. For instance, machine learning has the potential to help dynamically optimise these competing requirements.

Between 2020 to 2025, the UK Data Centre Market Size is expected to cross $8.4 Billion, growing at a CAGR of over 4%. If you don’t already have a data centre transformation strategy, we need to talk.
