Flight Options leverages Dell's Fluid Data architecture to consolidate data center footprint, automate data management and virtualize their environment with Dell Compellent.
Cloud computing is quickly becoming the standard way for technology companies to access IT infrastructure, software and hardware resources. The technology enables companies to be able to use applications and other resources managed by third party companies that are stored in high-end server computers and networks. Cloud computing helps businesses to be more efficient and save on software and hardware that are important for different operations.
Data centres don't move to the cloud, applications do. In presentation, we use common sense, commercial triggers to move to the cloud and ask when does a move to cloud make sense and when it doesn't.
Following on, we will discuss in detail how an application CAN move to the cloud and when it should be shot to be put out of its misery.
We'll also talk about money - a LOT since someone has to pay for something. How does cost and complexity relate to cloud adoption planning? etc.
COVID 19 too has been one of the major accelerators for cloud adoption with 40% of businesses moving their operations for business continuity from distributed environments. With cloud optimization, resources lets you immediately save costs. For instance, when you scale down a resource, it lowers your bills. Escalation in the cloud can occur in several ways.

InTechnology look at the ten key questions to ask your managed service provider to ensure your business is getting real value for your investment. http://www.intechnology.co.uk/resource-centre/webcast-questions-to-ask-managed-network-provider.aspx
One of InTechnology’s Cloud experts, Stefan Haase, looks at the current status quo among end users and Cloud providers as well as the impact of Iaas & Saas on the cloud and its users. http://www.intechnology.co.uk/resource-centre/webcast-managed-cloud-services.aspx
The enterprise network is the strong, rugged backbone of every modern business. but the complexities of convergence, the drive for extra capacity & capability and the pressure on cost control demand a new standard of network provision – from a new breed of provider.
Exponential data growth, as well as the requirement for long term data retention, is one of today’s major it challenges. traditional technologies struggle to keep pace with storage and data management requirements (that can grow by up to 50% annually), which piles pressure on it budgets like never before. additional challenges such as carbon footprint reduction add to the headache, costing businesses precious time and resources as they focus on back-end infrastructure at the expense of front-end business systems.
InTechnology is defined as much by how we do things as by what we do. We don’t simply throw technology at a problem: We collaborate with users
to understand the issues, grasp the context and devise the most appropriate solution. We deliver what we promise. We won’t disappear but will
stick around for the duration. If there’s a problem we’ll get it fixed. If there’s a challenge we’ll rise to it. If you want more, we give you more. If you want less, we scale back. Honesty, accountability and responsiveness are everything.
The provision of infrastructure as a service (iaas) is one of the fastest growing areas of it & communications, with businesses across the uK facing the challenge of ‘doing more with less’.
The adoption of managed storage and servers in particular is helping organisations address the multiple challenges of reducing it spend; ensuring 99.99% application availability; enabling ‘on-demand’ capacity; consolidating server and storage infrastructure and reducing carbon footprint.
Cloud based delivery models are increasingly seen as a ‘must’ when it comes to data delivery and storage. intechnology’s purpose-built £100m infrastructure is optimised to support and drive that trend.
To businesses everywhere, a phone system is like the air we breathe. We need it to survive and yet we take it for granted. For many businesses running legacy telephone systems that’s as far as it goes. It works, so why change it? However, that age-old split between desktop client /server computing on one hand and traditional voice communication on the other is being challenged by the fast-changing tide of voice and data convergence.
