Virtela, Denver, the world's largest independent managed network, security and cloud services company, has announced that its award-winning automation and predictive analytics platforms have been extended to the company's managed IT infrastructure services for virtualized data centers and private clouds. The newly-integrated technologies enhance Virtela's full lifecycle of managed data center network and security services, giving enterprises faster provisioning for their virtualized infrastructure and proactive identification and resolution of 95 percent of data center network issues before they impact quality of service.
Enterprises are increasingly embracing data center virtualization and consolidation, injecting added complexity and instability into their underlying networks. These networks require highly sophisticated around-the-clock management by experts with the latest skills and tools to manage highly dynamic environments. These complications promise to compound the already staggering consequences of data center downtime. According to a recent report by Emerson Network Power, the world's data centers log approximately 2.8 million hours of downtime per year, for an annual loss of $426 billion. Virtela's managed IT infrastructure services for virtualized data centers and private clouds alleviate complexity with the latest tools, technologies and expertise to accelerate data center optimization and transformation while avoiding downtime associated with operational issues.
Enterprises can select from a full suite of modular services ranging from transition strategy and deployment through "Day-2 support" and ongoing 24x7 service monitoring and/or management by Virtela's Global Operations Centers' engineers. These engineers offer expertise in supporting multivendor IT solutions across global data center/private cloud environments. They also leverage Virtela-proprietary automation and analytics platforms that exploit emerging technologies to cut service configuration times by an average of 90 percent, reduce data center downtime by 5x, and deliver operational cost savings of up to 30 percent.
