Cybernest has taken virtualisation beyond the conventional server level by creating an end-to-end virtualised data centre environment that frees customers from the traditional constraints of physical infrastructure.
"It's well known that IT managers battles to ensure that legacy dedicated resources are efficiently deployed and that, by contrast, virtualisation - or sharing - is where the cost savings are. What we've done differently is to take virtualisation to the next level with an end-to-end virtualised data centre architecture that seamlessly converges telco and IT services," says Thembinkosi Nzimande, Executive.
Cybernest's virtualised hosting solutions use the backbone network itself as the underlying platform, Nzimande says. "By placing your IT in the core of our network, Cybernest's hosting services deliver significant operational performance and cost benefits to our customers."
Another advantage of Cybernest's fully virtualised data centre architecture, based on Cisco 3.0 architecture, is the speed and agility with which connectivity, storage and servers can be provisioned. "The long build-out and scaling timelines often associated with data centre provisioning no longer apply."
Further reducing provisioning times is the fact that access into Cybernest's data centres is network neutral. "Our network neutrality puts us within the reach of all enterprise customers in the marketplace, regardless of what network or service provider you use," Nzimande says.
Cybernest's flexibility extends to its infrastructure hosting offerings, comprising basic hosting, managed hosting and managed virtual hosting:
