IT Infrastructure

Nexus are expert in state-of-the-art IT Infrastructure for mid-size organisations. We have provisioned robust computing foundations in hundreds of organisations. We build systems that run reliably, are economical to maintain and recover quickly in the event of disaster. Such resilience enables organisations to be more agile and competitive and reduces their IT overhead.

Virtualisation
Virtualisation enables organisations to significantly reduce the number of servers they own and manage, lowering the cost of IT through reduced capital expenditure as well as lower power, cooling, provisioning, configuration, monitoring, support and maintenance costs. Virtualisation also allows systems reliability to be improved through high-availability and disaster recovery architectures. It enables better deployment, management and monitoring of secure desktop environments and is an important factor for carbon footprint reduction.

Nexus is one of the few IT companies with expertise the leading Virtualisation platforms, VMware and Citrix Xen. Nexus designs and provisions the optimum virtualisation solution for a particular client and is considered a leader in the field for mid size organisations.

Advanced Storage + BURA (Backup, Recovery and Archive)
Advanced Storage and BURA solutions help organisations manage and protect their ever-expanding amounts of data. Data proliferation creates an array of management problems: backup difficulties arise, restoration times increase, security and integrity issues occur, the cost of physical storage escalates and data management becomes more complex and expensive.

Nexus helps clients to evaluate risk and quantify storage and management requirements.

We then design and provision next generation backup, recovery and archival solutions that:

  • Make files readily available to the users that need them
  • Improve backup and restoration performance
  • Improve security and safeguard vital assets
  • Reduce complexity and improve data manageability
  • Lower the total cost of data ownership
  • Improve the recovery time of business systems
  • Achieve compliance to local and international legislation
  • The technologies Nexus deploy include Tiered Storage (SAN and NAS), Active Archive, Integrated Backup-to-Disk, File System and Email Archiving, Remote and Branch Office Backup and Automated Information Extraction and Movement.

    Nexus is the chosen partner of many organisations with highly demanding storage and BURA requirements, such as advertising and publishing companies, and leverages this experience to provide superior solutions for general computing.

    Network + Security
    Fast, reliable and secure networks enable organisations to lower interaction costs and increase agility. With the proliferation of network services and devices, too many organisations end up with overly complex, inefficient and inherently insecure or hard to manage networks.

    Nexus has been commissioned by many Australian and APAC organisations to design, deploy and support advanced Local and Wide Area Networks. Our solutions include structured Fibre and Ethernet cabling, core switching fabric, routing, wireless, high-speed broadband, Unified Threat Management, WAN optimisation and ISP and Carrier Aggregation. The resulting networks are higher performing, more reliable and more cost-effective than alternatives. Link - Computerworld, Sydney Church of England Grammar School selects Security Solution.

    End-To-End Systems
    By ‘end-to-end systems’ we mean the entire IT infrastructure, from the Operating Systems (OS) that business applications run on, to the physical or virtual servers, to the storage and BURA sub-systems that manage and protect the data, to the desktops, printers, network switches, routers, firewalls and to the ISP and carriers that connect the organisation to remote users, branch offices and the internet. End-to-end systems management is about ensuring that everything functions as a whole and that information can traverse the system from one end to the other the way it is meant to.

    Nexus provides organisations the comprehensive tools and skill sets required to deliver efficient, cost-effective, adaptive and reliable end-to-end systems. These skill sets not only encompass the engineering disciplines mentioned in the preceding pages, but also the IT management disciplines required to deliver effective service management and operational guidance. Nexus’s practices conform to the internationally recognised ITIL policies for managing IT infrastructure, development and operations.

    End-to-end solutions deliver increased returns on an organisations net IT investment.
