Networking

Networking solutions that enhance data access

Networks are the heart of IT. They form a data access layer, connecting people with servers, servers with storage, and storage with additional storage to form global storage pools. However, identifying the best networking solution can be complicated. Networks come in many forms and support multiple protocols. And as Ethernet merges with Fibre Channel and other traditional storage protocols, data centers have expanded across the globe and disaster recovery/business continuity capability has increased substantially, adding a new level of complexity into the decision-making process.

Uniquely positioned to design your networking solution

IAS’s infrastructure expertise uniquely positions us to design appropriate networking solutions for your business that will enhance connectivity and data access while reducing cost and administration. Innovative networking technologies like 10 Gigabit Ethernet and Fibre Channel Over Ethernet (FCoE) are faster, and capable of bringing data centers closer together—enabling companies to establish virtual data centers anywhere in the world. We work with our customers to review the impact that these new technologies can have on their data center and how to best deploy them.
