Cloud computing represents a new way to deliver and use services on a shared IT infrastructure and network. Previously, IT hardware and software have largely been acquired through a long procurement and deployment process. With cloud computing, the value of these same software and hardware products is delivered on demand in the form of services over a network.  

IT groups can now build out private clouds or augment their resources with public clouds, enabling the benefits of this powerful computing model for their data centers. To achieve optimal results, a close examination of the infrastructure is required, because in the highly connected world of virtualized applications and infrastructures, innovative networks are the foundation of cloud-ready data centers.

“Cloud Ready Infrastructure” means having specific technology, services, and solutions in place that take advantage of expertise to help you prepare for your Cloud Computing strategy.  To prepare your infrastructure to be Cloud Ready, you need the technology, knowledge, and experience in place to build infrastructure and platform services to be available and scale.

Unitiv’s Solution

The decision to move to a cloud environment should not be isolated to the IT department.  Cloud Computing activities should be consistent with strategies from the business, technical, and security departments.

Unitiv’s Cloud Ready Infrastructure solutions provide the process and outline for supporting business processes, information flows, applications, and infrastructure to support company objectives regarding cloud computing.

As with any major architecture change, there are significant infrastructure and platform issues including: storage management, securing traffic flows between servers, separate domains and virtual machines, managing resources in multiple locations, integrating user and application identity into the cloud, stretching virtual LANs within and across data centers using standard virtual private LAN services, on-demand provisioning, and orchestration of resources, just to name a few.

Unitiv takes these issues into account for the successful delivery of a Cloud Ready Infrastructure.  Our process will ensure that your environment is available so that your infrastructure, platforms, and applications are converged across all networks. Our solution ensures that your Cloud Computing strategy will be open, secure, and scalable.
