Server Consolidation
Today, managing a large IT infrastructure can be a challenging task. As organizations grow, new servers and applications, often with various operating systems, are implemented to accommodate increasing data management needs. This environment increases IT overhead, and typically requires more human resources to manage it, as new issues and operational complexities are brought about.
MicroAge provides a wide range of server consolidation solutions that allow effective management of servers, storage, network and applications. We use a combination of hardware and software to decrease the number of servers utilized, while increasing their efficiency and performance. These solutions have widespread benefits such as increased scalability and flexibility, increased data security, and optimized server utilization and efficiency. By simplifying and centralizing your server and network infrastructure, there are significant overall cost reductions in ownership, operating and maintenace.

Blade Solutions
With the number of servers in data centres increasing, physical space, adequate cooling and ventilation, power consumption, and cabling requirements become significant issues. MicroAge is pleased to provide Blade server technology. Blade servers offer an innovative modular design dramatically reducing the physical space needed to house them, without limiting their computing capacity.
The functionality of the server is minimized to memory and a microprocessor, while the other functions (electrical power, and cooling and network connectivity) are moved to the blade enclosure. Additional blades can always be added to expand server capacity. The blades are hot-swappable, plug-and-play modules, providing considerable flexibility and improved manageability.
Blades are the ideal solution, significantly reducing operating and expansion costs, as well as rack space and energy consumption. Contact us for more information.
Storage Management
Storage management is becoming increasingly important with the amount of sensitive business-critical information residing within your IT infrastructure.
MicroAge can custom design a storage management solution for your organization, which is cost-effective, secure, and manageable, improving employee productivity, and increasing capacity. Our solutions include hardware, software and services for storing, managing and accessing your data in a secure manner. MicroAge offers a broad range of storage solutions, including basic solutions using your existing infrastructure, regulatory and compliance solutions, and tiered (prioritized) storage solutions.
Our storage management solutions ensure regulatory compliance and adhere to industry-based standards. Contact us for further information on this service.
Network-attached Storage
Looking to increase data storage capabilities among a large number of servers? Network-attached storage (or NAS) is a solution that offers increased storage capacity while improving data availability and simplifying operations. Where data-attached storage (DAS) employs storage devices directly connected to a single computer or server, NAS solutions use file storage devices accessed through a network. This is highly beneficial solution, especially for a multi-server IT infrastructure, where the volume of data is significant. Since the the file storage devices are accessed through a network, this provides faster and more reliable access to data from anywhere across your organization. Additionally, NAS reduces total cost of ownership, while delivering enterprise-level performance, scalability and availability. Contact MicroAge today for a consultation.
Storage Area Networking
MicroAge is focused on improving the scalability of your storage capacity, while reducing costs. One of our primary solutions is a storage area network (or SAN). A SAN is especially ideal for backups, storage consolidation, disaster recovery, ongoing storage capacity, and new project or application deployments. MicroAge offers a single-source Storage networking solution, including hardware, software, solution design, consulting and implementation/integration services. With this type of solution implemented, you can expect significant improvements in reliability, scalability and performance of your network, all while reducing the cost of backup by augmenting or eliminating tape-based backup systems.
MicroAge offers two SAN formats: (1) fibre channel; and (2) Internet-SCSI.
