Computing infrastructure

Iteco designs and deploys solutions to ensure business continuity at all levels of the customer's IT infrastructure.

Iteco offers the implementation of various solutions to ensure business continuity of the required level of reliability:

• Iteco experts audit software solutions used by the customer and study the possibility of software clustering in accordance with the best practices and recommendations of the software solution developer.

• If the software used does not have official clustering mechanisms, Iteco specialists work out clustering options using third-party software solutions. 
• Through the use of additional clustering solutions, it is possible to implement Asset-Asset systems to provide load balancing, or Asset-Passive systems for hot-swap functionality in case of a software solution failure.

• By working out the correct migration policies for virtual machines between nodes of the Affinity Rules virtualisation cluster, additional protection is provided against the failure of hardware components of the IT infrastructure. In case of unavailability of the virtualisation server, all critical virtual machines will be automatically restarted on the remaining operational servers, thereby minimising the downtime of the corporate service.  
• Flexible configuration of virtual machine migration policies between virtualisation cluster nodes is also possible in order to ensure the most efficient use of available hardware resources. 

• The designed IT infrastructure is built on the basis of equipment with redundancy of key hardware components of servers/storage according to the N+ 1 scheme. 
• With increased requirements for fault tolerance, a transmission network and a data storage network with multiple network paths can be designed to ensure network fault tolerance in the event of a failure of one of the routers or a SAN switch.

• When designing a data center, Iteco engineers are working on options for building geo-distributed disaster-resistant systems that allow maintaining the operability of key software services even in the event of a failure of the entire site. Key systems continue to operate at the customer's standby site, which is awaiting failure. 
• Additionally, clustering can be provided at the site level by implementing systems such as "stretched SAN", Metro-cluster at the storage level, Site Recovery and SRM systems at the virtualisation level or a load balancer at the clustering level of the software itself providing the corporate service.

Benefits of implementing print management systems

• Savings are achieved by eliminating the reprinting of documents, reducing the number of non-core printing, as well as the use of automatic corporate printing policies. 
• The reduction of costs from the introduction of systems averages 15-30%, but can reach up to 50% of the total printing costs. 

• Monitoring the status of printing devices will let you know about the problem with the printer or MFP even before the user encountered it. 
• The user can use a nearby serviceable device for printing without any additional manipulations. 
• All this will balance the load on the support service and reduce the negative effect of equipment downtime.

• The solution ensures the security of printing, copying and scanning by authorizing users in a specified way on printers and MFPs. 
• It is possible to control the content of documents sent for printing and user access rights to confidential information with notification of security services.

• The scanning control built into the automated control system allows the user to get the scan results in one click. 
• Due to roaming of print jobs, users can receive tasks sent within the organization for printing on any printer or MFP on which they have logged in. 
• Ability to print from mobile devices for employees.

In case of a request for non-standard functional requirements for the planned virtualisation platform, Iteco specialists are ready to prepare an individual solution for a specific customer, taking into account all those requirements that vendors' boxed products do not meet.

• Organisation of uninterrupted work of employees from anywhere in the world from any mobile device connected to the Internet
• Reduction of the labor costs of the technical support and operation service for administrative operations related to the preparation and management of user workplaces.
• Ensuring a high level of security of stored data (everything in its own infrastructure, nothing on client devices)
• Centralisation of management of all user workstations in a single management interface with the possibility of remote administration
• The ability to restore the functionality of the user's workplace in case of accidental or malicious actions within a few minutes 

• The total cost of ownership of IT infrastructure is reduced by an average of 40% 
• Increasing the level of information security  
• Simplification of the process of updating software components (by using a single OS for all users)

• Ensuring uninterrupted user access to VDI virtual workstations for working with corporate information systems 
• Support for a wide range of end devices: PCs, laptops, thin clients, tablets, smartphones based on various operating systems 
• The client components of the VDI system are compatible and supported by modern operating systems and platforms adopted as standard by the customer 
• The system monitors the life cycle of each virtual workstation  
• Providing mobile users with access to business applications from any corporate devices * Providing access to corporate information systems located in various network segments 
• Increasing the level of information security in the event of the use of external media, loss or unauthorised access 
• The ability to use a wide range of peripheral devices for scanning, printing, audio conferencing, video conferencing services 
• Providing remote access from mobile devices, laptops, home PCs
