Azure Stack HCI Solutions
Azure Stack
HCI Solutions
HCI (hyper-converged infrastructure) is an IT infrastructure based on software-centered architecture in which processors, storage, network, virtualization and other technologies are closely linked.
Hyperconverged & hybrid
With Windows Server 2019, Microsoft enables improved performance and scaling with simultaneous cost reduction, by combining compute, storage and network. Users benefit from the full range of functions in software-defined storage (S2D) and software-defined network (SDN) from just 2 nodes.
Consolidation & moderniszation
The end of support for Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows Server 2012 sees many businesses faced with the challenge of renewing their existing IT infrastructure quickly, simply and cost-effectively. In comparison to previous storage and virtualization solutions, hyper-convergent solutions offer the advantage of better reliability and performance with simultaneous reduction of complexity and hardware requirements.
Validation services
secureguard offers a manufacturer-independent “validation service” for existing or planned Windows Server 2019-based HCI solutions. The HCI solution undergoes the full Microsoft Azure Stack HCI test series in secureguard’s well-equipped laboratory to guarantee full compatibility and/or Microsoft support. The results of the test series are included by secureguard to the Microsoft Azure Stack HCI catalogue at customer’s request.
Consulting services
All the staff in the HCI team already have many years of experience in this environment. They are in demand as speakers at various national and international events, and as consultants and advisors on major projects.
Custom solutions
Custom solutions (e.g. all-flash, custom designs, etc.) are designed by the secureguard development team, together with the client, and validated in accordance with Microsoft Azure Stack HCI guidelines prior to delivery, to guarantee optimum support from Microsoft. The systems, which are designed and assembled in Austria, are subject to a comprehensive test plan that simulates a year of activity in a datacenter incl. malfunction of individual components and servers.
