How is your infrastructure evolving?

Your existing IT infrastructure is facing huge challenges as business environments change. Remote working, business expansion and new applications are just some of the features of modern IT usage which weren’t an issue just a few years ago. Infrastructure has to evolve in order to serve your users and your customers. The old way is no longer good enough.  EVO (LETN’s “Infrastructure Evolve") gives your business a new way of working.

EVO allows you to embrace leading-edge technology quickly and cost-efficiently. We know that one size does not fit all, so our consultative approach delivers a tailor-made solution every time.

Evolve, consolidate and innovate with LETN’s EVO

• Reduce your hardware footprint by up to 80%
• Switch off half your power and cooling
• Lower your administration costs
• Scale your infrastructure, leveraging the ability of leading-edge technology
• Test and implement new applications and upgrades in days
• Maintain a competitive advantage in your industry
• Deliver enterprise level DR and business continuity for critical applications

Overcome the challenges facing today’s infrastructure

Standalone, static platforms can no longer deliver the service your organisation will need throughout its lifetime. Upgrades? Expensive and inflexible. Evolving your infrastructure enables you to scale-out seamlessly. 

Eliminate ‘rip and replace’.

EVO offers the ultimate in flexibility and scalability for the lifetime of your organisation. It expands your server and storage resource without any disruption to your business or users and de-duplicates production data, helping you claw back up to 80% of your storage capacity.

• Live migration of your servers between hardware while running
• Online expansion of CPU, RAM, HDD and network adapters without downtime
• Provision and re-provision of storage space in minutes

Destroy unplanned downtime.

Line-of-business applications simply don’t have downtime any more. With people working around the clock and from remote locations, you need infrastructure which supports business continuity. EVO allows you to implement business continuity for core applications. 

• Exchange, SQL, Blackberry and Oracle protected real-time at application layer using simple cost-effective technology that auto-failovers when an application stops responding
• Backup and restore applications and individual virtual servers, SharePoint and SAP in minutes using Snapshot-based technology
• Drill down into your application backups and recover granular items like contacts and individual emails
• Keep up to x255 Snapshots without any performance overhead and with the storage industry’s lowest space overhead
• Protect your servers, applications and data between sites for true business application continuity
• Integrate self-healing hardware that monitors itself from every angle (hardware will take action before it fails, migrating servers on the fly to avoid outages and “phoning home” to order replacement parts)

Reduce admin time-drag.

Distributed server environments can be time-consuming and complex. EVO makes server-management straightforward, quick and flexible, giving your IT team the power to manage your server estate and leverage management tools.

• Configure and administer backups and restores for applications including Exchange and SQL
• Let application managers configure their own backups without having to retrain
• Provision new servers and storage from templates in minutes, enabling your team to respond at the necessary speed
• Save development time and budget by quickly creating zero-footprint copies of databases and servers for test and development
• Monitor and analyse reported information on your storage environment
• Carry out trend analysis and capacity planning

Avoid large capital investments.

Capital investments on new IT every few years no longer gives you the flexibility and performance you need. Smart technology choices are better for your budget, your organisation and your users. Instead of ploughing time, money and effort into new back-office infrastructure which will be redundant within years, evolve your infrastructure to a scalable, flexible solution which will always be able to offer your organisation what it needs - without upgrades, downtime or overhaul. 

Stop the drain on resources.

With EVO evolved infrastructure, there is no need for IT staff and users to learn how to get to grips with new technology. We’ll train you to manage your new technology efficiently and you have the peace of mind that serious issues can be escalated to our support team.

What next? How to evolve your infrastructure

Ploughing your budget into another static, standalone system isn’t going to provide you, your users or your customers with the level of IT performance your business should offer. And it won’t stand the test of time. 

LETN’s EVO is a consultancy-led project. To assess your environment and recommend the best way forward, we provide a packaged consultancy service which uses technology tools to gather key information on your IT infrastructure and employee application usage. Gathered over a period of several weeks, this is consolidated into tables of data and will show performance metrics, aggregated storage use, application types and performance usage. The finished document is a concise business-level report that shows your organisation exactly what resources you are currently consuming and suggests how to adopt an evolving infrastructure model. Our accredited consultants will make recommendations so you can adopt the latest technology to achieve efficiencies and cost savings across your organisation.
