Easing your networking challenges

Your IT organization faces increasing demands on data center network capacity and functionality. As servers, storage systems and end users continue to grow, so does the cost of doing business. At the same time, you must continue to improve security and resiliency, deliver better service, and embrace new technology—all with a tighter budget. To complicate matters, the expertise of your data center staff may focus on server and storage technologies, with limited knowledge and skills to assess and plan for your changing data center networking requirements.

Enabling your business to be more resilient to changes and threats

Knowing who and what is on your data center network and where potential risks lie is essential for maintaining data security and integrity. At the same time, complying with industry regulations and keeping up with the latest available technology updates-without significantly increasing your budget-is a challenging task.

IBM Network Integration Services provides strategy, architecture, design and deployment services to build rigorous security solutions into your infrastructure-including campus and local area networks (LANs), wide area networks (WANs) and data center networks-that will better secure the integrity of your critical business systems and data. Our services help enable intrusion detection, anomaly detection, encryption, remediation and management, so only authorized users and devices can access your critical resources. Plus, we can help you with complex network upgrades, refreshes, expansions and consolidations involving routers, switches, servers, other networking equipment and cabling. Our services can help you speed the fulfillment of your key business initiatives while optimizing your business operations during the implementation process.
