Technology

Selective adoption of advanced technology can substantially improve a businesses ability to compete and gain advantage in the market.

Azlan believes that there are several key technologies which even the smallest companies can be leveraging to cut costs, increase producitivity and create more flexible working environments.

Converged Infrastructure:

A converged infrastructure enables an organisation to do more with fewer resources. Converged Infrastructure solutions drive business agility, innovation and performance improvements, while reducing risk, complexity and cost. IT proliferation has stretched many businesses to breaking point, and business agility is severely constrained. Converged infrastructure, a holistic solution that enables all end user sub systems to work in tandem on a single IP network, offers new and more effective ways of working which address the following typical challenges:

Datacentre solutions:

In an age of rapid transformation, elements such as virtualisation, convergence and consolidation progressively add more complexity to the datacenter, and consequently to ICT decision-making.

Azlan provides a wide range of strategic solutions to help you optimise your customers ICT infrastructure, better align ICT with business requirements and to increase datacenter performance across the entire organisation.

Unified Communications and Collaboration:

UC offers a single solution to managing the growing multitude of communication mediums. Telephony, voicemail, video, email, instant messaging, etc can be integrated into a single, optimised and efficient platform.

Virtualisation:

Virtualisation enables you to reduce the number of physical servers (mail, internet, printer, CRM, ERP) that your business needs for its ICT, saving you not only the cost of hardware and maintenance, but also significantly reducing your datacenter space and power requirements.

Mobile Security:

The introduction of wireless networking,PDA's and VPNs provides incredible access to data, from almost any location. The increase in cyber terrorism requires that protecting data becomes an essential element of a companies IT strategy.

Energy Logic: Three Key Messages to IT and Datacentre Managers

1) The most effective strategy to save energy:

Start with reducing losses/consumption at the IT equipment level and work your way back through the supporting equipment Every watt saved at the equipment level has a cascading effect upstream

2) As you reduce energy consumption, make sure you do not compromise on Availability & Flexibility

> Efficiency Without Compromise ™

3) High density architecture helps reduce energy consumption
