Compute, Storage & Backup
Fully monitored, easily orchestrated infrastructure, on premises or hybrid.
Be in control of your infrastructure.
Every digital space around us has changed. Whether to stay on premises or go hybrid, x86 or Power, virtualised or not, is a question of business case and needs. At Enlayer we are strategic and precise about choosing the right storage and compute deployment model for each client.
We are clear about which applications and workloads should move and which should stay on premises, and we keep optimising cloud environments so they meet market and consumer demands. Our aim is to give you full control of your IT infrastructure, whatever you choose: we can help you manage and optimise cloud and on-premises environments, or propose a fully synchronised hybrid framework built for stability and a coherent architecture.
Our scope runs from compute, storage, SAN, virtualisation and orchestration to backup and disaster recovery: everything needed for a reliable, scalable and modern application environment. From building entire on-premises or hybrid environments to simply offering storage or compute at a good price, we are your trusted partner.
What a dedicated deployment gives you.
Fully customisable
Enlayer provides a deployment model that serves a single organisation, according to demand.
Higher level of security
The computing resources stay behind the organisation’s firewalls and are not shared with others, which makes them highly secure.
Superior performance
Greater flexibility to control the cloud environment.
Legal compliance
Regulated data, such as financial, health-care or credit-card data, comes with strict rules on where it is stored, who can handle and process it, and how it is protected. With a private cloud you know where your data centre is and who accesses it.
Where we start.
Six situations we are asked about most. Each can be the whole project or the first step of a bigger one.
Specific requirements
Organisations often need extra processing power or storage space for their applications. Enlayer can play a vital role by designing the optimal option.
Business continuity strategy
We implement complex solutions that keep your business growing without interruption, so you can feel comfortable with your compute infrastructure. Tailor-made solutions are our core strategy and the backbone of your success.
Usage and demands
We scale the confidentiality, integrity and availability of your existing infrastructure and design a suitable upgrade, securing it so it can run flawlessly in hybrid or hyperscaler environments.
Self-service environment
We let your teams access resources and operate without assistance.
Complex renovation projects
Designing a roadmap that simplifies complex projects is one of our specialities. Hand the responsibility to a partner who delivers explicit results.
Relocation of your data centre
Relocating a data centre needs the right location and precise execution. We know the process and can carry it out.
From the first requirement to support.
Six steps, one dedicated team. We re-validate what we heard in pre-sales before anything is designed.
Dedicated team
Every assessment needs different qualifications from our experts, so each project goes to a dedicated team of professionals.
Requirements validation
To find the best and most valuable solution for your infrastructure, we re-validate your expectations against what we learned in pre-sales.
Tailor-made design
We design, prepare and architect infrastructure that fits your business needs.
Implementation
A detailed implementation plan is the foundation of the project and keeps every step in sync.
Execution and testing
We finalise the project through continuous testing procedures.
Support
We support the implementation as agreed in our engagement, followed by regular support.
