The CEREALOG technical team can help you with all your infrastructure and network projects.

Servers

Delegating server management allows companies to reduce infrastructure and maintenance costs while benefiting from the constantly updated expertise of our experts. This frees up internal resources to focus on strategic initiatives and business development. The solutions offered by our experts guarantee maximum availability, enhanced security and compliance with regulatory standards. By adopting this approach, businesses optimise their IT infrastructure, increase their agility and are better prepared to meet today’s technological challenges.

  • LENOVO

Lenovo IT solutions are designed, tested and certified to be high-performing, scalable and cost-effective. By combining the reliability and industry-leading technology of x86 servers, partnering to deliver best-in-class co-innovation, with the end-to-end peace of mind provided by Lenovo ThinkShield, XClarity and Services, Lenovo solutions enable customers to use real-time data and generate actionable insights. As the compute platform for these solutions, ThinkSystem makes businesses smarter with support for data analytics, hybrid cloud, hyperconverged infrastructure, video surveillance, high-performance computing and more.

Virtualisation 

Five reasons to adopt virtualisation :

  • Consolidate shared resources by moving away from the ‘one application = one server’ model, thanks to server consolidation.
  • Reduce datacentre costs by minimising your physical infrastructure and improving your server/admin ratio. Server consolidation: fewer servers and associated hardware. This means lower property costs and reduced power and cooling requirements. More effective management tools enable you to optimise your server/admin ratio, so staffing requirements are also reduced.
  • Increase hardware and application availability to improve business continuity : back up and migrate complete virtual environments without service interruption.
  • Avoid planned interruptions and find immediate solutions to unforeseen problems. Gain operational flexibility: adapt to market changes with dynamic resource management, accelerated server provisioning and optimal deployment of desktops and applications.

VMware

VMotion offers the industry’s most advanced hot migration tools to radically simplify the migration of virtual machines across different hardware environments without business disruption. This live migration technology enables organisations to efficiently consolidate physical systems and utilise resource pools by shifting the processing load to the most appropriate environment. Vmotion is used by over 70% of VMware VSphere users.

 

 

In the event of the failure of one of the ESX servers, the HA option enables virtual machines to be restarted on the remaining ESX servers.

Storage

Network architecture : HPE/ARUBA

The HPE Comware switch series includes Gigabit Ethernet switches supporting static and RIP Layer 3 routing, diverse services and IPv6 forwarding, as well as four 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) interfaces. Unique Intelligent Resilient Fabric (IRF) technology creates a virtual fabric by managing multiple switches as a single logical device, increasing network resilience, performance and availability, while reducing operational complexity. The switches provide Gigabit Ethernet access and can be used at the edge of a network or to connect server clusters in small data centres. High availability, simplified management and comprehensive security control policies are among the key features that set this series apart.

WIFI

Thanks to its strategic partnership, CEREALOG is able to offer complete WIFI coverage studies on plan or on site.

CEREALOG offers the AP range of WIFI terminals from ARUBA.
