The Unified Data Center

A legacy approach of deploying multiple networks, switching domains, and tiers to handle an exponentially increasing array of technologies no longer works. Core assumptions about infrastructure and data center strategies are shifting radically. Data Center and virtualization solution decisions are often more complex investment/evaluation efforts requiring involvement from a broader set of business executives and a deeper financial analysis than other equipment transactions. The architectural and deployment decisions made today will determine an organization's ability to effectively compete and deliver value.

With these differences in mind, Comstor's Data Center strategy is based primarily on a service oriented incremental "building block" approach and strong solution differentiation. We provide a roadmap where data centers are defined not by computer architecture but by business needs.

Our Cisco Data Center offering aligns corporate strategy with IT data center strategy while optimizing IT productivity and resource utilization by providing the platform for the secure deployment of a service oriented, on-demand model for compute, storage, network and communications resources.
