Solutions Centers

Are you anxious about how your new cloud-based service or network infrastructure will perform?  


It’s a legitimate concern. That’s why OnX has invested more than $20 million in OnX Solutions Centers and Federated Cloud Centers of Excellence (FCCE) Labs throughout North America where our clients can demo new technologies and proof, pilot and test new data center strategies and cloud solutions.  As an example, you can test and proof your cloud concepts and scenarios without impacting your live cloud environment or building out your own test lab.  Using the FCCE Lab, you can reduce your cloud deployment time by months, and more thoroughly test your concepts under more diverse conditions.  You can also test shared cloud capabilities before bringing them live.

 

Want to see a complex multi-vendor solution operating in a real-world data center?  


You can.  One of the greatest challenges of developing a comprehensive network infrastructure is anticipating how various technologies will come together in a working environment.  OnX Solutions Centers are fully equipped and staffed enterprise data centers specifically designed for OnX systems designers and clients to emulate computer environments and preview new infrastructure technologies.    For instance, as a premiere member of the EMC Advanced Customer Testing (ACT) program, the OnX Solution Center provides a real-world environment for testing EMC’s emerging technologies.

What technologies will I see at work in your solutions centers?  


These are fully equipped and professionally staffed enterprise data centers featuring the most advanced technologies from the world’s leading vendors.  As an example, in our Irvine, CA, facility we have more than 112TB of storage, more than 500,000 tpm of servers, a 250+ port SAN Fabric (McData, Brocade and Cisco), STK, Quantum/ATL & ADIC tape libraries, a Cisco Gigabit Ethernet switching backbone and IP telephony devices, and Veritas software, as a start.  There’s much, much more!

 

Interested in seeing live demos of virtualization with Celerra or disaster recovery using VMWare?  


These are popular new solutions, and we have them and other full demonstrations running live in our Solutions Centers.  In our Irvine, CA, facility, we are demonstrating how simple it is to rapidly deploy 20-30 virtual desktop images (VDI) using Celerra snapshot technology, how to log into a new VDI image, and how folder redirection to a NAS simplifies the management and deployment of a desktop infrastructure.  And, among so many other things, we are demonstrating how using VMWare site Recovery Manager in conjunction with Celerra replicator will automate the recovery of SQL 2005 in a disaster scenario.
