Tekhnofort of mini-DPC

The department of system integration of Tekhnositi company created own solution on storage and information processing for the enterprises of small and medium business — mini-DPC Tekhnofort. The company calculates that the solution will become worthy replacement, both to the obsolete server hardware of the enterprises, and lease of servers in large data centers.

Studying the market, specialists of Department of system integration of Tekhnositi found an unoccupied niche of compact budget storage systems and data processing for the medium-sized and small companies from ten jobs. So there was own product of Tekhnositi company — mini-DPC Tekhnofort. "If are developed for the large companies of IT solution individually, and projects last several months, then requirements of medium business remain open though these companies are also very sensitive to quality of IT infrastructure" — the technical director of the department of system integration of Tekhnositi company Menyaylov Nikolay tells.

Existence of specialization of Cisco Advanced Unified Computing Technology allowed specialists of Department Cisco to develop with assistance of consultants product-based Tekhnofort of partners: EMC APC VMware. The mini-DPC represents a server cabinet in which the Cisco UCS servers, Cisco switches of the SB 300 series, a storage system, uninterruptible power supply units equipped with monitors of operation of the equipment and also the special software configured for support of fault tolerance are placed. The basic complete set begins from two servers, the power of a system is in a balanced way increased depending on needs of the customer.

All parts of a system are picked up so that to provide the maximum reliability at low costs. Tekhnofort is the budget solution, both in terms of the price, and in terms of an implementation time. At the same time, in terms of quality we selected the best samples of the equipment and software from leading manufacturers and integrated them in the complete solution" — Kuksenko Alexey, the commercial director of Department of system integration of Tekhnositi says.

Specialists of Department of system integration of Tekhnositi explain that the low price and an implementation time Tekhnofort are caused by the fact that the companies should not order project works and a commissioning of the equipment, it is enough to mini-DPC to turn on in network and to transfer all IT systems of the enterprise. Usually own IT services of the customer are engaged in it, process occupies no more than 2 working days. At the same time delivery dates of the solution are made by no more than two weeks.

Besides, the solution "Tekhnofort" reduces costs on operational maintenance and saves from financial losses which the company sustains in case of idle time of IT infrastructure. As the proof of cost efficiency of the solution, specialists of the company give an example from business of the customer. 25 employees of manufacturing company of furniture, work at a centralized system of 1C. Because of machine failures, lack of a monitoring system and backup, in 2011 the IT system of the enterprise stood idle 58 hours. Having learned the hourly cost of the employee, specialists of Department counted that losses of the enterprise last year because of failures of infrastructure were 544 thousand rubles. "It means that the mini-DPC Tekhnofort in a basic complete set will pay off less than in a year" — Alexey Kuksenko is sure.

This balanced server solution for small and medium business. Among competitors — the large data centers offering service of lease of servers (collocation). "The companies with care treat the idea to take out all enterprise information systems, including accounting, on the third-party platform — Nikolay Menyaylov says. — Besides, the cost of our solution is comparable to the cost of ownership of own rack in data center".

The powerful argument connected with ownership cost — the server is in office of the customer. It saves from need to rent communication lines to data center (usually the companies should rent two channels on a break case), besides, not all companies have an opportunity to be connected to the line with broad capacity or to be insured from break of the only cable coming to the office building.
