data centers.

Data Centers are the 'heart' of technology for large organizations. Housing and protecting critical IT components, the Data Center is just as important as the systems inside. Modern Data Centers are extraordinarily complex, supporting high-density computing, high-speed optical networking equipment, and multi-terabyte storage systems. The data center exists at the intersection of computing and the facility's mechanical infrastructure, requiring an understanding of IT as well as mechanical engineering of power and cooling systems. Our roots in engineering serve us well in this area, giving us a comprehensive perspective on data Centers. Some of the way that SDI can help you design, build, or manage your Data Center include:

• Design and build out: SDI can manage a turn-key design/build of your data center, including all physical infrastructure construction, redundant power, and high-capacity cooling systems for modern high-density computing.
• Storage Area Networks: SDI has designed and implemented multi-terabyte SAN storage, and can design a storage solution to meet your data center needs.
• Disaster Recovery: All Data Centers must be designed with an appreciation of the threats we face in today's world. SDI's Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity experts can design disk-based backup, off-site backup, and mirrored multi-site architectures that ensure continuity in the worst conditions.
• Server implementation and support: Today's server environment is far more complex than just a few years ago. Virtual (Cloud) computing, blade servers, and server farms have transformed Data Centers by adding complexity, huge cooling loads, and increased demands for innovative multi-site load balancing and storage. The SDI Data Center team can design, build, and manage rock-solid, mission-critical server solutions to achieve the uptime and capacity you need.
• Microsoft, UNIX and Novell certified: SDI has the skills to support your environment no matter what platform you've chosen.
• Long term support through our SmartSourcing program: Many organizations choose to outsource Data Center operations to minimize complexity and focus on their core business. SDI provides complete SmartSource coverage for all aspects of Data Centers so you can have confidence that your systems will perform when they're needed.
