Data centres are crucial assets than can help businesses gain competitive advantage. As businesses grow and merge, they often end up with a network sprawl of duplicate data centre resources and silos that increase operating costs and complexity, while reducing the availability and reliability of critical data centre resources. Failure to address these issues can result in outages, a limited ability to expand data centre capabilities and compromised business resiliency. Data centre inefficiencies can also make it difficult to cost-effectively deliver the robust level of application services that customers and internal users demand.

Just as your business is constantly evolving to suit the surrounding environment, so should your data centre. Data centres must respond to changing business needs, environmental conditions, security threats and compliance requirements. At Modern Networks we can deliver end-to-end solutions that increase the efficiency, adaptability and scalability of your data centre, we can make recommendations for the next steps in your data centre evolution, as well as a long term plan for your data centre architecture. As one of the few FlexPod providers in the UK we can provide your organisation with a key data centre strategy that both reduces business risk and increases data centre efficiencies.

Modern Networks understand that managing data can present a massive problem to our clients. Many organisations have data stored using a variety of methods in various places with, on occasion, a high degree of duplication. Data is useless as it is information that is required. Information is not simply data but data and structure.

Virtualisation lets one computer do the job of many, by sharing the resources of a single computer across multiple environments. This enables multiple operating systems – which can be different – to run totally independently on a single piece of hardware. Our clients who have adopted virtualisation have reported benefits in a number of areas. Specifically, they are seeing improvements in:

• Time spent on routine IT administrative tasks
• Backup and data protection
• Application availability
• Ability to respond to changing business needs
• Business continuity preparedness
• Company profitability and growth rate

As your organisation continues to grow, storage may seem to become increasingly expensive and time consuming to manage. Modern Networks can deliver storage solutions that offer business agility, superior application uptime, simplicity of management and unmatched value for money.

Modern Networks chose NetApp as their storage solutions partner because of their rich portfolio offering and unrivalled levels of efficiency. We believe that our customers achieve three key benefits through NetApp's storage efficiency features:

• Store maximum amount of data for lowest possible cost
• Retain data on disk for longer periods of time
