server and storage infrastructure

The location, configuration and maintenance of your server and storage estate are critical factors in the effectiveness of your IT infrastructure.  We assist companies to maximise the usage of these expensive assets by designing energy efficient, compliant and secure platforms to process, store and backup company data.

Mid-market organisations can take advantage of consolidation and virtualisation technologies across their server and storage platforms.  Shift F7 has close relationships with vendors such as HP, Sun Microsystems and VMware and will design and integrate the latest Intel or Sparc-based blade server infrastructure with optimum performance and lowest possible carbon footprint.

In addition, Shift F7 helps organisations to efficiently manage their storage resources by offering independent advice and implementation skills across a range of storage technologies and products - from simple RAID protected direct-attach storage infrastructure through to larger SAN, NAS and back-up/recovery solutions from industry leading vendors such as NetApp and HP.

Technologies include:  Fibre channel and iSCSI attached storage from key vendors such as NetApp and HP (EVA MSA and recently acquired Left-hand Networks).
