SmartNet’s data center and services portfolio delivers the robust, cost-effective solutions you need for resource-intensive computing and collaboration applications.

We can provide a complete data center technology solution, and can also dramatically enhance the reliability, performance and cost-effectiveness of your existing data center infrastructure.

We have deep partnerships with leading data center vendors – including VMware, EMC and Cisco – and hold Cisco Certifications in Advanced Data Center Architectures.

The data center solutions we provide include:

Private Cloud Networking

We leverage advanced technology – including Cisco Nexus Series switches, Cisco unified computing, and storage – to consolidate your data center into a simplified, robust architecture that spans physical and virtual infrastructure. With our private cloud solutions, customers drive down costs, enhance application performance, and increase data center resilience and scalability.

Unified Computing

Our unified computing solutions are based on Cisco’s Unified Computing System (UCS) – a leading server platform that simplifies your data center by uniting computing, networking, storage access and virtualization into a single integrated architecture. Our UCS solutions reduce data center complexity, streamline the deployment of enterprise applications and services, and lower power, space and environmental costs.

Virtualization

We are experts in virtualization technologies, providing best-of-breed virtualization platforms based on VMware vSphere technology. We can design and implement a virtualization environment that is tailored to your specific needs, allowing you to maximize server utilization, reduce hardware footprint, simplify management, and lower power and cooling costs. Our deep experience allows you to transition smoothly from a physical to a virtualized environment, and to optimize the performance and value of your existing infrastructure.

Data Center Storage

SmartNet designs and implements data center storage solutions that are designed to meet the challenge of ever increasing volumes of mission-critical data. Through our partnership with EMC, we combine powerful, flexible storage platforms with advanced management, protection and backup capabilities that ensure your data integrity is maintained.

Hyper-Convergence

IT organizations continue to pursue converged infrastructure that is more economical, more flexible and simpler to manage. Hyper-convergence is the latest step on this journey. As with converged infrastructure, hyper-convergence collapses compute, storage and network fabric, but also adds a unified management layer. With features such as software-defined storage, hyper-convergence dramatically simplifies data control and management. SmartNet intimately understands the value of hyper-convergence, and can work with you to unlock its power.

Data Center Networking

SmartNet has the skills and experience to build your next generation data center network.

 We architect 10/25/40/100 Gig networks that deliver high throughput, low latency, guaranteed quality of service, and east to west application communications

SmartNet has expertise in Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure (ACI), Cisco’s comprehensive software defined networking (SDN) architecture.
Cisco ACI creates a unified policy model across physical and virtual environments, including networks, servers, storage and security. With Cisco ACI, you can easily define business-relevant application policies, achieve greater scalability through distributed enforcement, and gain greater network visibility.
Whether you are looking for traditional core/distribution/access, spine-leaf VXLAN, or software-defined Cisco ACI, SmartNet has the engineering expertise you can count on to deliver.
