Data Center Modernisation
Enablement
Data Center Modernisation
The processes for procuring and deploying traditional infrastructure are too slow and cumbersome. Business groups and software developers can’t wait weeks or months for new physical infrastructure to be purchased and provisioned. Leveraging on the ability of software defined data center architectures we can significantly improve IT agility, by pooling infrastructure resources, standardizing management tools across infrastructure layers, and enabling policy-driven provisioning, an SDDC can help IT groups respond more quickly to new requests for IT resources. At the same time, an SDDC enables IT groups to retain control over provisioning, reduce costs and establish a path to application modernization.
Data Center Optimisation
Choose the best strategy
With ever-expanding platform offerings, it's important to ensure you evaluate where best to put your workloads.
Whether you're just starting to assess your cloud migration, have a plan already established, need to ease the management of multiple platforms, are preparing for a hardware refresh or datacentre integration project, or considering containerisation - let our experts guide you on the best option for your modern datacentre.
Walk Into the Future Secured
We work with you to understand your current enviornment to design a roadmap for the ideal modern datacentre for you. We will help you identify which workloads are within scope for migration, and consider whether they're cloud or container native. With our expert advice you can make confident and well informed decisions. Discover which platforms will best suit your business needs, operationally and commercially

Compute Virtualisation
Also Known as server virtualisation gives the ability to abstract operating systems and applications from physical servers. As a result, administrators can use virtual machines (VMs) to run multiple, distinct applications and operating systems on a single server. Compute virtualization can reduce server sprawl and improve resource utilization.
Storage Virtualisation
This enables organisation to pool resources and eliminate islands of disconnected storage systems.Virtualized storage improves flexibility and scalability because you can provision storage from the pool, often without having to purchase new capacity. With virtualized storage, you can also allocate storage dynamically, giving each application the capacity it needs on demand.
Network Virtualisation
Enables you to provision and manage networks independently of the physical hardware. That abstraction of resources decreases provisioning time and enhances flexibility, allowing you to more easily move workloads across data centers without physical constraints. The right network virtualization solution will also incorporate security capabilities to safeguard networks and isolate workloads
Benefits of Data Center Modernisati-on with SDDC
Infrastructure performance
You can optimize compute, storage, and networking for each application and workload without having to undertake physical changes to the infrastructure.
Control costs
Pooling resources improves utilization of infrastructure and enables you to avoid new infrastructure purchases. Better utilization also means that less infrastructure sits idle — consuming real estate, power, and cooling.
Application modernization
Adopting an SDDC approach also helps establish a path toward infrastructure and application modernization. Standardizing on a single management platform enables you to more easily integrate new technologies and migrate workloads to cloud environments.

Application Migration Methodologies
Rehost
We utilise this methodology to perform large-scale migration quickly and save about 30% in cost using the ‘Lift and Shift’ method, without redesigning the application.
Refactoring, Revising
We utilise this method for migrations that require transferring to a new platform by adjusting some parts without changing the core structure of the application.
Rebuilding
We use this methodologies in redesigning the application to Cloud-native which is a Cloud-optimized structure. Suitable for companies that require scalability, business continuity, and flexibility, such as server-less architectures and e-commerce.
Replacing
We use this methodology when replacing an existing application with a SaaS application.
Example of a case of replacing a CRM operated in on-premise with a SaaS CRM, such as Salesforce.
