Data Center Networking Infrastructure

10 Gigabit Ethernet - High-density server consolidation and virtual machine mobility is driving demand for more infrastructure throughput and lower latencies than ever previously required while application owners insist upon greater value, uptime, and performance. These demands are met through highly-available, 10GE data center backbones and switching architectures. Unified Computing - Cisco's new compute platform is revolutionizing the way companies scale and improve their data center lifecycle. With most organizations preparing for the shift to true converged networking with FCoE, UCS provides that future-proof platform and is purpose-built for virtualization. MSN has the experience and capability to help you achieve new operational efficiencies through higher consolidation ratios, a smaller footprint, and drastically improved environmental efficiency.

Application Delivery - The virtualized data center enables applications to move easily between physical servers and even between data centers. Dynamic workloads and application movement present new challenges that MSN addresses with virtualization-aware load balancing and application routing.

Data Center Storage Networking

Cisco SAN - Virtualization of messaging, database, and even ERP applications demands performance. MSN can help you architect the appropriate SAN utilizing the right technology at the right tier, offering the highest in performance and availability. MSN will take great care in analyzing the specific application, recommending the appropriate configuration and protocol, and finally, working with you to implement and test our solution for the greatest business satisfaction.

Virtualization with VMware

Virtualize first - MSN has the virtualization architecture experience to help you move beyond virtualization of test/development and tier 2 applications. Allow us to show you how to incorporate tier 1 applications and ultimately move to a virtualize-first strategy, unlocking the true potential of a cloud operating system and finally making the most efficient use of your resources.

Virtual Desktops - Managing desktops can be one of the most frustrating and costly endeavors undertaken by any business. Patching, viruses, refreshes, operating system upgrades, and simple break/fix operations can be simplified, if not eliminated through the implementation of a virtual desktop solution. Incredible operational expense savings can be achieved and MSN has the experience to show you how to get there!

Storage Consolidation and De-duplication

Unified Storage - Application silos are being torn down in order to speed time to market and make more efficient use of resources. MSN can help provide you with a well-architected platform for consolidation of all of your pools of storage. Whether you're interested in using iSCSI for cost-containment and leveraging existing network investments or Fiber channel for the ultimate in performance, the same platform will allow you to leverage both protocols as well as CIFS/NFS for file share consolidation and simplicity in implementing VMware.
