Based on the extensive experience that ANS Group have in designing, building and implementing private cloud solutions, we will share the successful techniques that will be required to build your next-generation, virtualised, service-orientated, FlexPod data centre with Cisco, NetApp and VMware technology.
ANS have implemented many large private cloud solutions for organisations in the public and private sector and one of our customers, Salisbury NHS Foundation Trust, estimate that they will save £5m in the next five years after implementing our full Infrastructure 3.0 solution. By providing a virtualised infrastructure utilising technology from our three chosen vendors ANS can reduce costs and required storage space, improve disaster recovery and provide huge ROI while significantly improving the IT function of the organisations with which we engage.
