Imagine you have to trade your car in for a model that’s 15 years older. Think of the safety features and assistance systems you’d give up. The downgrade in terms of comfort. And the hit to your mileage. Using outdated data centre infrastructure also means you forego a lot of the things that are long established and potentially even critical to your mission. After all, modern server technology delivers a host of benefits such as more computing power on a smaller footprint, better energy efficiency, and optimised scalability. As the basis for virtualisation and cloud integration solutions, it also makes your IT more agile while streamlining management.

In addition, the latest storage systems enable much faster data access and higher capacities and are an essential component for data-heavy workloads such as big data analytics and AI applications. To help reduce energy consumption and associated costs, a modern cooling solution is also key, such as liquid cooling of server components or optimised airflow in and around server racks that keeps hot and cold air separate for significantly improved efficiency. Talk to our experts today and explore the many benefits a modern data centre has for your organisation.

Virtualisation enables you to run different operating systems and applications on virtual machines (VMs) on a single physical server, making hardware utilisation much more efficient. Migrating virtualised workloads into the cloud adds even more benefits such as better scalability, global availability, and integrated security. At Bechtle, we support our customers with professional consultation, implementation and operation, providing vast expertise in virtualisation solutions from VMware, Nutanix, HPE VM Essentials, Redhat and a range of open-source providers.

Our portfolio includes hyper-converged infrastructure solutions (HCI), hybrid data centre concepts, and the full breadth of cloud technologies and services, enabling almost unlimited possibilities for your IT setup. For instance, you could access a complete data centre infrastructure as a virtualised service in the cloud, enabling your IT team to flexibly assign resources to individual applications and services as required. Plus, a virtualised environment is the perfect foundation to modernise your application landscape. Containerised microservices enable more agile, flexible and scalable app development. Our experts help you deploy container platforms such as Kubernetes or Docker, and provide in-depth training in these technologies for your employees.

Data centre automation has become indispensable to accelerate large-scale deployments, enhance transparency, and relieve IT teams from routine jobs such as system updates, data backups and security audits. This allows you to reassign staff to more value-added tasks, increase your operational efficiency and mitigate the effects of an ongoing skills shortage hampering organisations. Automation also enables systems to respond to changes much faster and take appropriate action without the need for human interference. Bechtle offers a number of solutions and services for data centre automation to elevate your flexibility and responsiveness, including automated data centre networking, the software-defined data centre (SDDC) and managed data centre services to operate both physical and virtual servers. We plan, build and run your landscape up to the OS layer, with effective automation solutions for proactive patch management and capacity monitoring.
