IPnett’s Data Center Infrastructure Solutions
Reduce the total cost of network ownership by introducing a new and innovative network architecture. The architectural innovations delivered via a high performance product portfolio significantly reduce not only the cost and complexity of acquiring and managing the network infrastructure, but also the time taken to deploy new applications and services. The improved simplicity, agility, and efficiency provided by these solutions, benefit businesses ranging from enterprises of varying sizes to government agencies and service providers.
Drive down storage costs while increasing performance and reducing latency
An explosion of new applications and unfunded government mandates continues to drive the need for large amounts of data storage. Each storage application requires a data center with a robust network that can support the network-intensive and bandwidth-hungry applications throughout the enterprise. However, as applications drive data, and data drives storage and bandwidth requirements to new levels, network costs and complexities rise as well. In today’s fast-changing but cost-conscious business world, enterprises simply must improve the capabilities, utilization and efficiency of their storage and network assets. This improvement can be done by consolidating or virtualizing your storage resources, while increasing your ROI.
With 3 key vendor partners specialising in Data Center technology solutions; IPnett can offer a broad range of products, knowledge and solutions in this area of Data Center networking.
Juniper Networks
Service providers of all types rely on high-performance, reliable applications running in data centers throughout their infrastructures to deploy rich, interactive services. Increasingly, these data centers have become crucial parts of the operator’s service delivery platforms, whether in mobile, fixed, or Internet-based applications. Juniper Networks has developed a scalable, efficient and flexible architecture for data center networks that is ideal for meeting the demands of evolving, sophisticated services. Based on the modular JUNOS operating system, Juniper’s data center architecture leverages the intelligence and world-class engineering of the MX Series Ethernet Services Routers, EX Series Ethernet Switches and SRX Series Dynamic Services Gateways.

Arbor
The modern-day IDC will continue to evolve as technologies (such as virtualization) and trends (such as SaaS or in-the-cloud services) continue to become the norm. Although such technologies and trends promise to deliver cost savings, they also create new challenges associated with security, availability and performance. The Arbor Peakflow product family can help today’s IDC operators overcome these challenges by securing critical network infrastructure, applications/services and data—thereby providing the pillars of protection needed to optimize IDC operations.
