The Consonus Deployment Model
Uniquely positioned to meet the diverse needs of today’s dynamic businesses, Consonus IT Solutions optimize customers' financial and operational resources across any one or a combination of three data center environments: at the Customer Data Center, a Colocation Data Center, or in the Consonus Cloud. This flexibility, known as the Consonus Deployment Model, enables each Consonus customer to achieve the optimal mix of capital and operating costs, timing, risk, resources, and complexity.
The Three Consonus Deployment Options: Choose Any or All
Customer Data Center
While offering the utmost opportunity to design, manage, and control, a Customer Data Center can very quickly tax a business’ financial and human resources. Designing, building, and managing a Customer Data Center is a major challenge, involving significant capital expenditure and lead time. A 24x7x365 continuous operation, the Customer Data Center demands vigilance operationally as well as from a planning perspective. Furthermore, a business must deploy world-class IT talent in a Customer Data Center in order to keep pace with the rapid evolution and turnover of computing and energy resources such as power and cooling systems, networks, storage devices, and servers. Finally, a Customer Data Center must coordinate with and support the IT functions related to critical business applications.
Consonus helps manage these challenges by collaborating with the business to identify opportunities for consolidation, efficiency, and operational or process improvement. Consonus IT Consulting Workshops and Assessments, such as the Business Impact Analysis, are essential tools in identifying these opportunities. And Consonus’ wide array of IT Infrastructure equipment, Technical Support, and Disaster Recovery and Virtualization expertise can ensure that the full spectrum of your IT resources – financial, human, and technological – are deployed to your competitive advantage.
Colocation Data Center
With a Colocation Data Center option, a business owns the computing resources involved but depends entirely on the facilities of a data center solutions provider. In addition to leveraging shared data center infrastructures such as power and cooling systems, networks, and computing devices, a colocation data center enables a business to depend on a data center provider's resources for hosted operational services such as managed security, managed backup, and remote systems and network management. Moreover, because of the built-in disaster recovery capabilities associated with multiple, geographically diverse data center locations, a colocation data center option can facilitate business continuity at a significantly lower cost than constructing your own disaster recovery facility.
The Consonus Cloud
From the perspective of costs, timing, and resource demands, the Consonus Cloud option is the most simple, expedient, and affordable. This option provides a business with instant access to the full gamut of data center infrastructure, computing resources, and networks. In addition to all of the benefits of the colocation data center option, the Consonus Cloud enables a business to take full advantage of the substantial investments Consonus has made in energy efficiency, virtualization, optimization, security, and resiliency.
The Consonus Cloud not only offers high-availability, resiliency, and security, but it features built-in disaster recovery capabilities as well. As hosted solutions, two of Consonus Managed IT Services — Remote Backup Service (Consonus RBS™) and Secure Email and File System Archiving (Consonus SAFE™ – the Software-as-a-Service deployment of Symantec Enterprise Vault™) — leverage the powerful Consonus Cloud for business-critical storage and archiving needs.
Consonus Managed IT Services: Available for Any and All Data Center Models
Whether a business opts for their own Customer Data Center, a Colocation Data Center, or the Consonus Cloud, Consonus Managed IT Services simplify data, process, and infrastructure management.
Hosted operational services such as Managed Security, Managed Backup, and Remote Systems and Network Management ― available in the Customer Data Center or remotely ― offload routine but critical IT tasks so that IT resources can focus on higher-value business functions.
Consonus Cloud Services such as Remote Backup Service (Consonus RBS™), Secure Email and File System Archiving (with Consonus SAFE™ – the Software-as-a-Service deployment of Symantec Enterprise Vault™), Virtual Infrastructure (with Consonus VIS™), and Virtual Business Continuity (with Consonus VBC™) are enabled by the Consonus Cloud and integrate with the customer data center and colocation data center infrastructures to support, extend, and fortify business-critical IT functions.
