Organizations have to rely heavily on the infrastructure that assists in supporting the achievement of their business objectives. To this end the organisation's technology infrastructure must be reliable, robust and scalable.

Digi-Data, having provided solutions in this technology area for the past twenty-five (25) years, understands the challenges organizations face.

Data centre operations are considered to be the ‘engine room' of any organisation, and therefore should be carefully designed and built to be robust, scalable and reliable. We have listened to you and the experienced gained has allowed Digi-Data to truly understand your business issues and to develop solutions to those issues in this specific areas.

Computing platforms, Directory services, messaging and collaboration, power conditioning, racking systems, system cooling and servers are all important components that make up the data centre infrastructure. It is imperative that these components are carefully chosen and integration to create a complete support structure. Careful consideration must be paid to the precise configuration of this environment so that the service levels required are achieved.
In order to ensure that this environment effectively supports the organisation’s goals, Digi-Data has chosen to work with proven industry leaders like HP and Microsoft to ensure that the objectives outlined are achieved.

Computing Platforms

An organisation’s core computing platform is the backbone on which the achievement of its business objectives hinge. Without this main pillar of support, all business services will fail to effectively deliver on their mandate.
With these potential operational obstacles at the top of the proverbial list,  Digi-Data brings to bear our extensive experience in providing resilient computing platforms. Computing platforms based on clusters and employing directory services for user identification, assists with the objective of achieving high performance and robustness in the face of equipment failure, human error, power loss or any other unexpected disruptions.

Messaging  and Collaboration

All organizations rely on systems that can provide them with accurate and up-to-date information. The evolution of electronic mail (e-mail) has driven this need to higher levels.
Secure access to e-mail, calendars, contacts, and more—wherever they are, on any device they use - is presently viewed as a core requirement of doing business.

Robust messaging systems are usually one of the core systems implemented within an organisation. These systems must be secure by design and robust in order to keep abreast of the demands of the organisation. Digi-Data, in conjunction with industry leader, Microsoft, stands ready to assist any organisation in having secure, reliable and timely access to their information.

As a natural progression, business instant messaging and unified communication is also changing the way business is conducted. Employees, both within and external to the organisation, need to be able to access subject matter experts on various opportunities at moment's notice, thus ensuring that the organisation can remain agile and relevant in today's business world. Digi-Data, along with Microsoft, has derived tremendous benefits of implementing this structure within our respective organizations, and now, would like to assist organizations in realizing the many benefits we have derived.

Portals

To remain agile and relevant, organisations need to be able to disseminate information to employees in a timely basis. This information can come from multiple sources and need to be presented in an orderly manner.

Industry experts and Digi-Data, strongly recommends that Portals be the mechanism used to present information to the organisation.
