IT Architecture

IBS’s goal is to deliver the best information technology (IT) solution which meets the business requirements for each organization. Architecting an IT solution requires a thorough understanding of the foundation the company is built on and expectations for future growth. The right plan must take into account IT personnel and their capabilities. We are confident that with this information, IBS can build your business the ideal customized environment.

Server Virtualization

Servers are the core of every IT infrastructure. They process the information needed for organizations to function in today’s society. In the past, the applications required to process specific information were put on separate physical servers, but now virtual servers are the standard for business production environments.

Server virtualization makes server management simple, fluid and automated by bringing the management of the entire server environment to a single screen. New technology has simplified the set-up process and guarantees reliability for the most critical business applications. Now, multiple operating systems can be deployed on a single server and can be separate, preventing one application from impacting another. As physical servers are consolidated, hardware and maintenance costs are reduced as well as rack and energy expenses.

Customers report that virtualized server environments enhance IT performance, capacity and availability. Regardless of your current level of virtualization, IBS can help your company make educated decisions about server virtualization.

Desktop Virtualization

Desktop computers are the portal through which most organizations enable employees to access the information needed to be productive. Desktops are often difficult to manage and maintain because the software and user information is tied to the hardware. Desktop virtualization is changing this standard and opening up these portals, giving employees more mobility and usability with increased security.

Through a virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI), your company will be able to reduce help desk costs, increase performance and improve user productivity. Like server virtualization, management is made easy. The IT department is given greater control over policy and employees will enjoy a new level of freedom to access desktops from more devices and locations.

IBS has partnered with VMware, a desktop virtualization leader, to provide our customers with the most secure, easily managed product available.

Storage

Company information is one of your most valuable assets. The hardware used to store this data has become a commodity that is enriched and optimized through storage management software. Whether using a SAN, NAS, or direct attached storage unit, each storage vendor has uniquely crafted their software and provides a different user experience.

Storage software improves the way data is consolidated, managed and protected. The software streamlines processes and improves disk utilization to boost performance and reduce complexity.

IBS is well versed in data storage. We offer multiple storage lines so we can match customer skill sets and storage needs with the best product.

Business Continuity

The risk associated with electronic information is the loss of data due to user error or natural and man-made disasters. Data loss impacts both customers and employees. Common practices such as backup, replication and disaster recovery (DR) can provide a feeling of safety, but if a plan is not tested and does not address business critical issues then current processes may not perform as needed.

A business continuity plan provides detailed information about what critical data should be restored, which users need access to this data and how long it will take to get up and running should a disaster occur. The plan will consider the cost of downtime and the required solution.

IBS will educate your team on the best solution for your business. Whether using tape that is shipped off-site or backing up to disk at a remote location, we have partnered with industry leaders to help your company achieve the necessary levels of performance if disaster strikes.

Network Architecture

Network architecture defines the layout of the logical and structural transmission equipment used to communicate information between devices. The network consists of hardware, software and communication protocols. Network infrastructures are getting faster and faster to keep pace with server and storage capability.

IBS helps customers compare and contrast the leading vendor solutions so they select the best solution to meet their business needs. Improvements to networking infrastructure has positively impacted our customers overall performance within the IT infrastructure. Let IBS assist you with these decisions.
