What is IT Infrastructure?

Although the definition of “infrastructure” can vary, within the Information Technology (IT) field, it refers to the supporting hardware and software that provides the primary processing capacity for your applications. 

Softnetworks is the premier infrastructure design, implementation, and support company in New Jersey.  We are considered a subject matter expert (SME) for building the underlying hardware and software platforms to support your core application delivery systems. These platforms range from servers to desktops, using both physical and virtual technologies. 

If you choose Softnetworks for your IT Infrastructure needs, we can provide you with complete turn-key solutions encompassing Rack Optimized or Blade Servers from HP, Dell, Cisco or IBM.  These servers would run traditional Microsoft Operating Systems or hypervisors such as VMware VSphere, Citrix XenServer and Microsoft Hyper-V. Supplementing core design and build services with Microsoft Active Directory and Exchange Server deployments and migrations would strengthen your infrastructure.  Softnetworks has expertise in all of these fields and would love to help with your IT needs.

Other key infrastructure components and services that we offer include:

Messaging

As a Microsoft Gold Partner, Softnetworks can teach you how to leverage Microsoft Exchange Server features including electronic mail, calendaring, contacts, tasks, platform redundancy with Database Availability Groups (DAG), and much more. We can also deliver messaging systems that allow selected users of your organization to securely and remotely access your company email using mobile devices such as iPads, iPhones, Droids, and Smartphones.

Remote Access

Working remotely is becoming more and more common.  Because of this, many companies expect fast, easy, and secure virtual private network (VPN) or secure socket layer (SSL) access to key business applications. Softnetworks can provide several remote access solutions to help your team accomplish these goals, including some using Citrix NetScaler appliances.

Application Delivery

Secure and centralized delivery of key applications is critical to your organization. As the sole Citrix Platinum Partner in all of New Jersey, Softnetworks can deploy for you a XenApp and/or XenDesktop Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) solution which will guarantee that the applications you choose will only reach the intended end users. These technologies are highly scalable and provide a cost efficient, secure methodology for application delivery.

Data Center Design and Planning

A typical Data Center Design by Softnetworks will include such elements as raised floors, fire suppression, air filtration and cooling systems, and power and backup power generators.  We are also able to include many more elements.  Please contact us for more information on designing and planning the safest, most secure, and most efficient data center.

Disaster Recovery and Planning

Disaster Recovery (DR) and Planning is a key strategy to help maintain Business Continuity (BC) when unanticipated disruptive events occur. Softnetworks can assist you with your Business Impact Analysis (BIA) by providing technology design strategies and planning, among other aspects.

Co-Location Implementation

Softnetworks has assisted numerous clients in recognizing the benefits associated with moving their technology infrastructure to co-location facilities. Let us show you how utilizing high speed data and Internet connections via multiple carriers, a guaranteed uninterruptable power supply, and facilities with 24×7 security and monitoring can help protect your valuable company assets, as well as meet your disaster recovery and business continuity objectives.

VoIP Telephone

Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) encompasses a collection of transmission technologies for delivery of voice communications over IP networks such as the Internet or your organizations network. VoIP integrates local and long distance phone calls, faxes, voice mail, email, Web conferences, and more over your LAN or Internet connections.  Our team at Softnetworks can show you how to leverage this technology for increased network and communication potential.
