Feature series: IBM Storage

This month our Feature Series highlights the partnership between Cisco and IBM on an integrated data solution, VersaStack, which IP Partners had the privilege of attending the unveiling of earlier this year.  The solution is the combination of Cisco’s Unified Computing System (UCS) offering and IBM’s Storwize storage system and seeks to promote key organisational IT requirements of ease of use, efficiency and versatility.

Following the significant permeation of Cloud computing, the VersaStack solution was developed as an alternative to traditional siloed environments and in response to the growing demand for infrastructure of a more integrated nature.  Here, the full stack of technologies is combined into a system that operates as a whole, enabling more responsive IT.

The combination of Cisco UCS Mini and IBM Storwize V5000 is ideal for our clients, given its ability to respond to the challenges typically faced in education and corporate environments.

Key benefits of the solution include:

• Powerful, flexible servers and storage systems
• Easy deployment and remote management capabilities
• Innovation, flexible storage capacity and responsiveness
• Built-in functions such as data virtualisation, clustering, replication and snapshots
• Pre-tested and validated, reducing integration time and risk
• Lower total cost of ownership through reduced complexity, reduced hardware footprint and lower energy consumption

We would like to draw to the attention of our corporate clients a service that IP Partners provides through our subsidiary Data UP: mail archiving.

We understand the requirement to keep detailed records for a number of organisations, and that this may place strain on your infrastructure.  Therefore our data archiving solution is specifically designed with performance, scale and manageability in mind.  By automating movement and retention of data, organisations will benefit from improved performance, as well as increased user productivity as data can be easily accessed and retrieved when required.
