Server and Storage

Typical server environments grow over time and become very complex. Usually they are composed of a number of platforms with different operating systems (e.g. Windows, Unix, Linux, Netware). This often leads to inefficient and cost-intensive use of the system. The provision of scalable computing resources, especially, is a challenge for many businesses today. New state-of-the-art technology such as virtualisation (e.g. VMWare, XEN, VC, VSE) and new hardware architectures (e.g. blade technology) from different manufacturers have a firm place alongside the traditional approaches. Storage requirements have too been continually growing over the years. The development from isolated storage islands (SAN, NAS, iSCSI, WAN storage) to scalable, smart storage networking was initiated long ago, the major benefits being reduced operating costs and increased flexibility. In addition, shared storage facilitates the efficient use of your IT resources as well as improved usage of the available capacity. Data replication helps you meet the increasing necessity of risk protection e.g. to guarantee business continuity.

Every Bechtle IT system house offers comprehensive server and storage solutions. Please consult one of our system houses in your area.

In addition, dedicated Competence Centre specialists provide comprehensive expertise to deliver cross-manufacturer solutions in various fields.
