Computacenter To Deliver Data Management Strategies Through ECOstructure Blueprints

Computacenter, today announced that they plan to utilize the ECOstructure (EMC/Cisco/Oracle Infrastructure) initiative blueprints. As Computacenter continues to evolve into a strategic IT services company, they can use the ECOstructure blueprints, paired with their consulting expertise, to suggest highly reliable infrastructures to their customers.

ECOstructure is a joint initiative by EMC, Cisco and Oracle that focuses on providing organizations with unparalleled infrastructure reliability, scalability and resilience through compatible and integrated data management solutions.

As an ECOstructure solution provider, Computacenter will utilize the ECOstructure blueprints to help offer their customers a range of services to help them develop sustainable data management strategies. These strategies include evaluating data needs and identifying data growth and usage patterns.

Computacenter offers consultancy, implementation, support and management services across EMC, Cisco, and Oracle solutions. This, as Computacenter's Simon Walsh, Director of Enterprise points out, is one of the major customer benefits. "The challenge of providing guidance when integrating and managing several vendors' technologies requires multiple skill sets. Within Computacenter we have considerable expertise in teams whose skill sets encompass all major enterprise vendors, offering our customers a single service provider who can interpret the business need and recommend, design and integrate complex multi-vendor solutions. We take a vendor's technology vision and apply Computacenter's know-how.We utilize the blueprints by identifying the customer's needs for availability, examining the issue of disaster recovery and resiliency, and then looking at their ability to accelerate the data management process."

One organization that has benefited from this approach is BuildOnline, an online collaboration, tender management and procurement service for the construction industry. Garry McCollum, BuildOnline's Director of Technology, found the end-to-end service invaluable.    "Computacenter could provide everything we needed, from design consultancy through to migration, hardware and software installation. Most importantly, they were able to give us first class managed support services, with built-in performance and availability guarantees."
