Companies and IT infrastructure, all you need to never stop
Never stop, this is what companies ask to theirs IT department, budget to be always checked, new answers bond to the energy consumes and a new eco-sensibility that comes out from real problems of energy supplying.
Quick Navigation:
The simple request becomes suddenly the most insidious challenge for the pluralism of problems that have to be faced: from the high reliability to the central and peripheral backup, from the disaster recovery to the prevention of the network threads, without obviously forget that it is necessary also to be flexible and that the real aim of the information technology is to serve the company core business, to be able to answer in a positive and quick way to the company's needs.
The key to never stop is an infrastructure suited to the requirements. IBM and Avnet offer everything you need to realize it. From hardware systems to software solutions able to optimise the use and the results
We introduce the team
The IBM and Avnet offer includes the IBM hardware platform and the solutions distributed by Avnet to exploit the potentialities at best. Every hardware platform has its own characteristics that accomplish or concur to make a system highly reliable.
We introduce to you the IBM and Avnet offer, to be more precise, the team that can allow you to win, whatever is your request.
>>Security and protection
>>Proventia Multi-Function Security
IBM Proventia Network Multi-Function Security (Proventia Network MFS) of IBM Internet Security Systems (ISS) includes a set of cheap and reliable devices, able to stop the threads coming from Internet before they can enter your network and stop your business.
Proventia Network MFS integrates in a unique solution the advanced technology of IBM ISS to prevent intrusions thanks to firewall, antivirus tool and antispam technologies and to filter the web contents. It gives protection at gateway and network level without compromising the band width or the network availability and it is able to face, at the same time, an heterogeneous series of menaces, such as non authorised accesses, network threads, malware code, mixed menaces, attacks based on contents, spyware and phishing.
>>IBM Realsecure server sensor
The server protection is essential on a strategy of Security risks decrease.
All the organizations use servers to execute applications and host the necessary data to manage their business.
These systems are exposed to risk of intrusion by the new vulnerabilities and exploits, that continually threat their vital operations. The diffusion of the organized crime in the hackers' community makes even more urgent the need the protect the servers.
The worms, even thought still one of the bigger hazard, do not represents anymore the bigger problem for the companies. The data integrity, the laws, the privacy of the clients' information and the exploits by hacker, moved by financial aims, have reached a very big significance. For this reason IBM Internet Security Systems (ISS) has thought solutions of preventive security for the servers.
Giving protection for a wide range of operating systems, including Microsoft® Windows®, Linux®, Solaris, IBM AIX and HP-UX, the IBM solutions for the server security offer easy implementation, management and maintenance. All this for a minor Total cost of Ownership.
>>High reliability, disaster recovery and flexibility of the infrastructure
The infrastructure virtualisation is the key for high reliability, the disaster recovery and the management of the flexibility - apart from the quality of the single components. In the Intel/AMD x86/64 environment we find VMWare and VirtualIron that, oriented to different market levels, offer enterprise functionalities also for the small medium Italian companies. In the IBM i for Business and System p (PowerVM) environments is the Advanced Power Virtualisation that allows the consolidation of the work loads, the dynamic re-allocation of the resources and of the new functionalities as the "live partition mobility", that permit to have redistribution interventions of the work loads under more nodes.
Finally the features of high reliability of IBM System Storage cover also the storage infrastructure integrating different solutions, from redundant controllers to the remote disaster recovery.
>>Backup & Recovery of the company information
In the backup & recovery environment, the IBM answer is simple: "Tivoli Storage Manager". Whatever your hardware platform (Intel/AMD, System p/i to the mainframe), the operating system (Windows/UNIX/Linux/Mainframe/other) or your necessity (backup, storage, storage optimisation) Tivoli Storage Manager, offers you a complete and modular solution, that is able to conforms itself to the necessity of the SMEs and that can grow unlimited to cover the necessity of every enterprise.
Implemented with the System Storage solutions, Tivoli Storage Manager gives the warranty of a tested environment, certified and totally reliable to guarantee the security of the companies information.
>>Prevention and network security
Today the company structure is no more limited inside its headquarters but it is open to the external world through different types of connexions.
This network of contacts improve the chance that our sensitive data can be captured by external elements. So IBM, thanks to the recent acquirement of Security Systems (ISS), offers to its clients the solutions Proventia Multi-Function Security and IBM Realsecure Server Sensor. They prevent and isolate in real time possible menaces coming from Internet, but also from the inside, monitoring all the company's network traffic, identifying likely threats and isolating virus and worms avoiding that possible damages may occur to your company.
