The move to virtualization and cloud brings great potential for your organization, but it also introduces additional complexity. The old support models do an excellent job providing a stable infrastructure, good for traditional siloed systems, but these are no longer enough for this new IT reality. You need a trusted partner that can support the whole environment, help you reduce complexity, and guide you on your journey to the cloud.

Our Essel Datacenter Care service is our most flexible and comprehensive support offering. We work in partnership with you to provide tailored end-to-end support for your existing IT environments. It leverages our integrated technology, people, processes, and partner ecosystem to deploy, help operate, and evolve on the journey from traditional datacenters to cloud-enabled.

You can configure Essel Datacenter Care Service to be just what you need, starting with the core “building blocks.”

The underlying network components which support the modern datacenter have become critical to the experience that you deliver. Datacenter Care for Networking includes support for networking products, offering a single point of contact for reactive support and proactive services that enable you to quickly resolve network issues, as well as access to expertise to help evolve toward the software-defined network.

For our Mission Critical Partnership customers, Datacenter Care is the natural evolutionary path. Datacenter Care can deliver the same service that you currently enjoy, but opens up more flexibility and more options such as our multivendor support. Contact us about how Datacenter Care can enhance your Mission Critical Partnership.

You have multiple hardware and software products from a variety of vendors in multiple places all around the world. They all need to work together to meet your business goals, and provide a solid foundation as you move to new technologies—including cloud solutions.

Unpredictable data center capacity demands, low asset utilization, capital budget constraints and inadequate control over IT assets are just some of the many challenges your organization faces today. Cloud technologies promise agility with the ability to move fast. But with standard processes, if you have to quickly expand or contract your data center capacity, your current deployment processes can get in the way.

We can help you gain this agility with our Essel Flexible Capacity Service. We enable you to provision new capacity quickly without restarting the procurement process for each new request. When added to Essel's Datacenter Care service, Flexible Capacity Service provides onsite infrastructure that you pay for on a monthly basis. Your charges vary from month to month—because you pay for what you use. Now you have the ability to handle unpredictable demand with greater confidence and without large upfront capital investment or long procurement cycles.

There are two service-level options available:

With a cost model that makes sense, you can deliver true agility.

Datacenter Care for Cloud - Support for your hybrid cloud

Cloud computing is likely changing much of what you do, including how you implement and support your infrastructure. Most enterprises are moving to the cloud at a rapid rate to achieve greater agility, innovation and economics amid a fast-changing environment and exponential data growth. Essel believes organizations will need to implement a hybrid delivery strategy that leverages the right mix of cloud and traditional IT to optimize application and service creation and delivery. That's the Essel Converged Cloud.

Essel Cloud Professional Services is a comprehensive portfolio to advise, transform, and manage your cloud journeys and investments with an end-to-end lifecycle approach. Essel Datacenter Care for Cloud is the support offering within Cloud Operation services, that meets you wherever you are on your journey to the Cloud, to help you implement, operate and evolve your cloud infrastructure.

You may be implementing your first system for the private Cloud. We recommend Essel Proactive Care for your CloudSystem, along with our implementation services, to accelerate implementation and to proactively identify issues in your cloud infrastructure via proactive scans, reports, analysis, recommendations and reviews of the support plan.

Your private Cloud may be more of an environment than a system. It includes multiple heterogeneous systems, and is more complex, with a provisioning and orchestration layer that enables self service by users. And you may need to pay only for the infrastructure that you use monthly, as an operating expense.

Essel Datacenter Care for Cloud is our most flexible support service, bringing the environment wide support that is well suited to your private cloud. It can be heterogeneous, including hardware and software from other vendors; it can include Flexible Capacity Service for pay-per-use; it is flexible enough to expand or change as your dynamic environment changes. And we can bring expertise from all of Essel - strategy, planning, design, implementation, as well as training – to you within the Datacenter Care relationship, to minimize false steps and to free up your staff for innovation.

You may need to extend your cloud to include services from external Cloud Service providers, whether for bursting, extra capacity, or to move workloads into the cloud. With Essel Converged Cloud Support, you gain the confidence to deliver enterprise-grade SLAs using the converged cloud with the support you need to continuously improve as your cloud evolves.

Essel Converged Cloud Support brings you:
