One Cloud’s highly experienced team of professionals provides comprehensive audit & assessment services to evaluate the client’s Data Center setup. Our certified experts will evaluate the existing data center architecture, technology, security & the overall governance setup to identify gaps in current state architecture and provide recommendations for remediation, both physical and functional. We provide strategic, operational and performance analysis of the datacenter setup using a combination of tools, technologies and governance processes. We address every aspect of our clients’ mission critical facilities. With the client’s unique findings in mind, we create a master data center construction design and build plan that meets your needs, budget and timeframe. We provide design options for each sub-system with rough order of magnitude (ROM) pricing, benefits and redundancy features. This flexibility helps budgeting process, and enables value-added decision making at the earliest stages of the project and throughout its implementation.

With One Cloud’s extensive experience in data center design and build, integrated project plans, and highly qualified build teams, our project plans ensure that tasks are completed in order and within the timeframes designated for each. Throughout the data center installation project, we are vigilant in our safety, and quality practices. Moreover, we schedule our installations to minimize disruption to your day-to-day operations. Our implementations are undertaken by resources having cross domain knowledge and experience on large & complex environments. We apply industry benchmarks and best practices gained from designing and building data centers from ground up to provide power, cooling and security requirements. We aim to attain highest level of energy efficiency through design aspects such as raised floors and efficient cooling and heat flow. Part of our extensive datacenter commissioning program is that we educate the client why certain operations are key to being comfortable with and to create a confidence with full operation. Our technicians, electricians, mechanical engineers and commissioning supervisors, pride themselves on completing full, extensive and comprehensive checks. A complete record of the commissioning and testing procedure is provided upon completion and pre operation.

As enterprises seek to optimize their IT functions, the focus is on ensuring the alignment of IT with business goals. The highest impact of these changes is typically felt in the data center, as it struggles to keep pace with emerging technologies and changing business demands while dealing with issues pertaining to efficiency. Data Center Optimization Services aim at maximizing data center assets in enterprises and help gain a firm control of resources, reduce complexity, and improve data center performance. We optimize data centers by locating servers with low utilization, recognizing devices that consume the most power, space and heat; and correlating those devices to the applications and business services they support. One Cloud automates standard activities within the data center, thereby significantly reducing delivery time and costs. Through optimization, businesses can achieve –

• Minimized risk and cost with fast non-disruptive migrations
• Reduced data center footprint
• Maximized LAN/WAN bandwidth
• Optimized application performance
• Simplified management through asset consolidation and shared resources
• Increased flexibility due to network, server, and storage utilization
• Optimized energy consumption to achieve green IT data center objectives
• Detailed documentation for migration
• Reduced cabling cost with standard and consistent rack design

Datacenter Virtualization

Data center virtualization is a key concept with respect to automation and for the transformation to a service-oriented infrastructure. Virtualization of a data center allows for the decoupling of applications and the data from the physical resources they run on, allowing data center services to be executed more efficiently. Hardware intensive applications can now be run with ease, as the reliance on expensive hardware is decreased. Virtualization in effect greatly reduces your fixed and operational expenses because now you don’t need to spend a huge amount on buying expensive equipment. Virtualization of Datacenters helps achieve lower total cost of ownership (TCO), improved resilience and greater agility.

One Cloud has virtualized many datacenters achieving reduced operating costs. Our skilled and certified experts will help virtualize your datacenter infrastructure using industry standard products from Microsoft, VMware and Citrix. We help you strategically plan and implement the move into a virtual datacenter. Contact Us to know more about how we can help your organization undertake Datacenter Virtualization.
