Data Center Architecture

Crescent offers hands-on, real-world expertise for architecting, implementing, and managing your data center for optimal performance. Our proven methodology takes advantage of many years of experience architecting data centers for some of the largest companies in the world.

Crescent has a pragmatic approach to design, architecture and implementation of the hardware and software in the data center. This includes servers, storage, networking equipment, and the mission critical application that runs on the equipment. Our server virtualization expertise crosses heterogeneous systems including Windows, Solaris, and Linux. In conjunction with storage virtualization solutions, virtualization efforts allos you to reduce future capital expenditures while reducing current operating costs. Adding proactive network management and monitoring, your data center can be architected for optimal use.

Crescent, however, takes the data center efficiency to another level. By abstracting the application layer from the virtualized hardware, and creating a “Standard Operating Environment (SOE)”, Crescent can help you develop a strategy for a standardized, prescribed and budgeted hardware refresh cycle. This unique model not only provides a predictable cost and budget model, but also provides five 9’s application uptime even during a hardware refresh cycle.
