DATA CENTRE SOLUTIONS

Running your own data centre is a complex and costly overhead to your organisation. In an ideal world no organisation would plan to have their own data centre but would use computing in the same way as all other utilities such as water and electricity. Turn it on and up and down as required such that the organisation is never starved of computing resources or tied to any particular infrastructure. However the reality is that most data centres have grown and developed over the years to support the needs of the organisation and this legacy is becoming an increasing issue which can hinder the agility of the organisation.

These days organisations depend heavily on their IT. If the data centre is unavailable or has a fault, then the organisation's ability to function can be put at risk. If an organisation has the financial means, then their data centre is duplicated at another location, which is the most extreme scenario doubles the cost of the IT. As technology has matured and its capabilities have increased, more cost effective options are becoming available. Rather than investing in further IT infrastructure of its own, such as dedicated hardware, software and networks, an organisation can now rent access to computing resources and facilities from Xicon.

Xicon solutions are positioned at providing a cost effective alternative to running your own data centre or backup data centre for continuous operation.

These solutions enable you, perhaps for the first time, to deliver high availability of your critical business applications, in the knowledge that your data is safe and secure. Because Xicon has invested in significant enterprise class equipment, which could now be at your disposal, your business would have the ability to tap into these resources and move to a pay-as-you-go model.

Our solutions enable you to extend your private cloud by the provision of the following key services.

Virtual hosting to allow you access to computing resources on demand

Physical hosting for your non-Intel servers

SAN Replication for the Dell Equallogic range

Online backups when you need to get your backups offsite

DR solutions when you need to be able to failover
