Constant infrastructure availability with a 2nd site

As bandwidth is often insufficient, the result is impaired performance. This quickly leads to dissatisfaction among users. Working from home can also shift user behaviour – thanks to their newfound flexibility, employees no longer work in their usual shift patterns but potentially at the same time as their colleagues – which has a very direct impact on the performance requirements placed on the infrastructure. And here, too, waiting times cause frustration among employees.

2nd site – with all the options of a cloud provider

Netstream’s Virtual Data Center offers a wide range of advantages compared with a traditional on-premises infrastructure at the customer’s site. These include, for example: flexible scaling of computing resources (including, of course, reducing resources), flexible scaling of internet bandwidth and the flexible use of technologies such as GPUs to meet increased requirements. Using the Virtual Data Center as a complement to on-premises infrastructure is known as a classic hybrid cloud approach. The advantages of both worlds (cloud and on-premises infrastructure) can be combined, offering customers real added value in terms of scalability, flexibility and availability.

Especially when it comes to boosting performance, additional VMs can be provided at any time to meet growing user demands. This means new virtual desktops can be made available simply and with high performance at any time.

In line with the options described above, the 2nd site can also deliver huge added value in terms of availability. Domain controllers, databases and other critical systems can be designed redundantly. This has a positive effect on performance and availability. In the event of technical challenges, the data is fully available at the other site – a genuine win-win situation for IT, employees and, ultimately, customers.
