What is a Data Center? In essence, it is the center of your technology infrastructure. Your data, applications, and systems are serviced by your datacenter - whether that is currently one server, or hundreds.

Mavenspire's Next-Gen Data Center is an integrated solution that combines the best of new technologies. The primary elements of a Next-Gen Data Center are:

• Virtualization - For Server Consolidation, Redundancy without Clustering, Growth Containment, and Business Continuity virtualization is a cost effective means of achieving overall lower overhead with high availability and responsiveness.
• Storage Area Networks (SAN) - Sharing information between servers, SAN allows for Snapshots to aid in Disaster Recovery, Consolidated Storage Growth to save space and money, among other things.
• Data Replication is a necessity for business continuity and disaster recovery.
• Blade Servers - Small Form factor makes blade servers easy to scale with savings on utility costs with an all in one design
• Server Management - Server management involves the administration of server hardware, line of business applications, and associated network connectivity throughout their lifecycle, including initial deployment, delivery of software, ongoing maintenance and support, and retirement.
