We believe that Networks and Systems are Essential but that they shouldn't be Critical and this drives our unique approach...

Firstly, we will always seek to “optimise” the infrastructure and systems you own
rather than you having to buy new or additional solutions.

Secondly, we will always seek to convert your topologies to be “always on” and have the maximum
resilience and failover capability in the face of any likely disaster.

Example One: Reduce the criticality of your WAN. Your Wide Area Network becomes critical when there is too much traffic, or when business critical data (key applications) suffers because of non-essential data (like web browsing). We can reduce the load on a WAN and increase it’s ability to carry traffic by over 100x by deploying bandwidth optimisation technologies such as Riverbed.

We can also go a step further through innovative new approaches such as aggregating ALL of your bandwidth, including MPLS, Leased Lines, ADSL, backup lines & legacy links. The Adaptive Private Network Appliances from Talari Networks will span all connections between sites, analyse each possible pathway and then make decisions about which pathway to send each packet of data over depending on the performance of each link at that particular moment in time.

This innovative approach to WAN management means that multiple links can be used in harmony to provide “big bandwidth” performance and near instant failover if any individual link fails.

Example Two: Reduce the criticality of your Storage. Your Storage systems become critical when there is a risk of losing your Data if any component fails. Hardware and Applications can be replaced relatively quickly and easily but your Data, like your family photographs, is unique and irreplaceable. It is essential that your storage, including SANs, NAS or DAS devices, File Servers and Tape Libraries can be used together and in harmony to provide fast access speeds for application data, with ample space for growing data needs and cheap capacity for archive’able data that has to be kept.

You can now link all of your disparate Storage devices into a single Management Layer that allows you to move all of your data around quickly and easily, Clone, Snapshot, Replicate, De-dup and Thin Provision through a single GUI. Continue to use your existing storage but make the best possible use of it and maximise the resilience of your data.

Example Three: Reduce the criticality of your Backups. Your Backups become critical when a backup attempt fails or when a restore from backup doesn’t work. There is even more risk when the backup is taking place on a remote site, onto very unreliable tape-based technology and by non-IT staff. This recipe for disaster can be avoided by centralising your backups using real-time replication with bandwidth management to a
Recovery Server and Data Store. With application consistency and failover/failback functionality, this takes all the risk out of backups!

These are just 3 examples of the solutions that EssentialNET can bring to bear on your systems and infrastructure to optimise your existing investments and maximise performance.
