Setting The Network Foundation
Your physical system infrastructure, beyond servers, includes the routers and switches that move data across your network and out via the internet connections, the physical racks and/or enclosures that house your servers and other network gear and organize your cabling, and the power and cooling systems that ensure your systems' operating environment.
When you're starting out and operating without a server, it's okay to have computer gear setup where it's just out of way. As your system requirements grow, the performance and longevity of your expanding investments are greatly affected by the physical system infrastructure.
Switching and Routing
There's a fine line between saving money and compromising reliablity. One of the reasons so many companies have grown to depend on DLP is how they come to trust us to save them money. Switching is one area where, we are fine with deviating from the huge industry giant, but not from moving so far down the value spectrum that cheap really means not well made. HP's ProCurve Networking solutions offer outstanding value over the industry giant, but also lead in reliability and quality engineering.
Racks, Cable Management, Power & Cooling
Not all racks and enclosures are created equal. Some are designed to deliver the very best in flexibility, cable management, cooling air-flow, power connections - the nuances that save thousands in operating and project costs down the road. The components that smooth out the often awkward network cabling mess contribute to the overall physical management.
Delivering continuous power is the role of the Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) and while this may seem like an easy product purchase when you're protecting a single PC or Server, slight complications can arise when fitting out a number of servers. Cooling goes hand in hand with Power and most small businesses cut the life cycle of servers and other networking components by not delivering adequate or proper cooling to their IT gear. DLP partners with leading vendors such as APC, Liebert and Panduit to deliver cost-effective solutions for Racks, Cable Management, Power and Cooling. |
