In many companies, data-center management focuses on dealing with immediate issues, rather than developing a holistic IT strategy that improves operational efficiency and supports growth. The result is a performance-sapping combination of siloed databases, redundant applications, and platform proliferation.

Axxend believes that a data-center strategy for a dynamic, manageable, and secure IT infrastructure is vital to achieving the agility your company needs to maintain its competitive edge. This next-generation data center is achievable today by combining new Microsoft technologies for virtualization, management, and security. Our data-center optimization solutions will help propel your IT infrastructure to a fully optimized computing model that delivers on-demand enterprise services and improves your bottom line, promotes innovation, and reduces business risk.

Enhance the performance of enterprise applications with a solid foundation of Windows Server 2008 R2 and SQL Server 2008. Cut costs and gain flexibility by moving to a server virtualization strategy with Windows Server 2008 R2 Hyper-V, which meets on-demand resource and availability needs by enabling multiple virtual servers to run on a single physical machine.

Overcome the data-center challenges of day-to-day IT management by combining Microsoft System Center, Active Directory, and Microsoft Operations Framework to create a single, automated, end-to-end platform for managing desktops, servers, and devices in both physical and virtual environments.

The unmanaged growth of identity information across disparate platforms and applications creates security and regulatory risks, as well as user frustration. Yet in many organizations, identity management services are fragmented, with multiple user databases and directory systems.

Axxend can help you address identity-related security challenges such as access control, application security, and identity theft with a comprehensive risk-management approach that protects your organization and customers while delivering seamless and secure data access, regardless of application. Our identity-management solutions and access-control strategies leverage Microsoft Identity Lifecycle Manager (ILM) 2007, augmented with third-party software, to optimize and integrate your directory services for streamlined processes, improved compliance, enhanced productivity, and reduced costs.

• Consolidate personal information for account and security maintenance with a single provisioning, authorization, and authentication system across all IT platforms.
• Satisfy regulatory and identity compliance requirements, and know who has access to what data, as well as when and how it was accessed. Gain increased visibility with reporting and auditing across directory, application, and security services.
• Improve user experience for employees, partners, and customers by reducing the number of accounts and passwords across heterogeneous systems.
• Enhance your ability to develop new business capabilities with a shared infrastructure, of particular value when implementing service-oriented architecture (SOA) applications.
