Whether online or offline, virtual application delivery is optimized for each user device, network, and location to ensure a high-definition experience.
  • Server Virtualization
    • Centre’s use of server virtualization conserves space through consolidation. By using only a small amount of processing power, the network administrator can consolidate several machines into one server running multiple virtual environments. Server virtualization provides a way for companies to run the same application on multiple servers. It's a safety measure -- if a server fails for any reason, another server running the same application can take its place. This minimizes any interruption in your business.
  • Datacenter Consolidation
    • Internet Data Centers offer companies an economical way to achieve a secure, fault-tolerance environment for mission-critical equipment. Data centers house web and email servers, switches, routers, modem racks, mass storage and other equipment. Centre’s Data Center Support provides expert on-site and remote support for businesses that use data centers in Houston and Dallas.

    • Data center clients get 24x7 server and application monitoring that goes far beyond simple connectivity monitoring. Our Technical Response Center can react proactively to detected failures before they progress to serious system problems. Centre offers expert remote troubleshooting for fast and cost-effective problem resolution, or if necessary Centre can dispatch engineers to the data center for on-site service.
  • SAN Implementation and Configuration
    • By procuring a storage area network (SAN) allows enterprise businesses to connect a large number of heterogeneous computers and share a large number of heterogeneous storage devices over a high-performance network. Therefore, stored data files can be concurrently shared in an open-multiplatform environment.
  • Disk Backup
    • At Centre we understand the demand for faster and more reliable data backups as well as data restoration and disaster recovery. We partnership with ExaGrid which is the most cost-effective and scalable disk backup solutions available on the market.

  • Infrastructure Assessments
    • At Centre, we understand that today's IT infrastructure is increasingly complex and costly therefore making the task of IT infrastructure optimization more important and more difficult than ever. Add an IT initiative such as a data center move, server and storage consolidation, virtualization or even simple strategic planning into the mix and a detailed understanding of your infrastructure becomes even more crucial. By performing a thorough assessment saves your organization time and money, and takes the risk out of your IT infrastructure initiatives and ultimate success of your projects.
