Infrastructure
Consulting Services
Sify IDMS offers consultancy, building and management of
IT infrastructure, as a whole or in part, depending on your
requirements.
Our long standing relationships with Cisco, Sun Microsystems,
IBM, Computer Associates, HP and Microsoft will help you
gain access to the worldwide professional services of these
technology leaders during the architecture, design and implementation
phases of projects.
Our infrastructure consulting covers the entire spectrum
of IT infrastructure requirement :
Building and Facility Layout
Whether you’re building a whole new facility or upgrading
an existing one, we offer a full range of services from
site identification and assessment, facility design, equipment
layout and installation; to ongoing documentation.
Our proven success in building and running Level 3 Data
Centers, plus our experience and extensive resources, help
ensure that your facility will meet your current and future
requirements.
Our expertise is supplemented by the specialized knowledge
and know-how of our partners - real estate and engineering
professionals, architects and interior contractors.
Sizing
Sizing lays the foundation upon which your IT infrastructure
is built. It must be a flexible, adaptable framework that
can scale to meet your future IT requirements.
To get it done right the first time there is a need to have
a deep understanding of your business before beginning the
design process.
This is where Sify’s successful history in building
and operating NOCs and Data Centers over the past 5 years
provides the inherent strengths to size up the hardware,
software and service elements needed to meet your infrastructure
needs. We have effortlessly handled different hardware platforms
while the networks that we run are some of the largest in
the country today.
Supply
Sify IDMS has tied-up with major IT infrastructure suppliers
from architects to contractors to vendors and serves as
your a single point of contact for hardware, software, network,
electrical equipment, generator, facilities, AC and UPS,
etc.
Using our procurement and supply expertise
also leverages our experience and purchasing power to offer
you a single source solution for managing and streamlining
your IT rollout logistics, decrease your overall procurement
costs and reduce the number of suppliers you have to manage.
Installation and Integration
Our Installation and Integration services are designed to
minimize disruptions to your business operations during
rollout and maximize the continuous operability of your
IT infrastructure. We implement and integrate facilities,
security, hardware, software, network & processes -
putting them all together to work according to your needs.
You can also depend on project management consistency and
on-going monitoring of budget and target dates. We use ready-to-use
frameworks during the Integration phase, which helps bring
down the cost, effort and timelines.
Training
We provide the necessary technical training to your staff
to handle the administration of ongoing operations and systems.
This involves hands-on operational and implementation experience
of managing the infrastructure supported by classroom training.
We also have lab and staging area facilities to expose
IT professionals to stimulated complex situations to help
them upgrade their skills and understand new technologies.
Cross fertilization of experience and ideas also take place
as people come in from all our 2 Level 3 and 12 Data Centers
as well as NOCs across India.
Documentation
We are well versed with the documentation processes involved
after having run a BS7799 as well as ISO certified Level
3 Data center for the past 4 years.
These include
:
Documents that come with equipment from the vendor
Documents on Data Center processes, best practices and certification
processes
Acceptance Testing, Testing and Commissioning
Our standard tests conducted before pre-rollout procedures
ensure compliance with standards and guidelines and also
check whether the functionality of the systems are being
verified on a continuous basis. We then implement the Acceptance
Test Plan, which is the formal process for customer acceptance
of the project deliverables.
This foolproof checklist is a result of numerous installations
that we have successfully undertaken over the past 5 years.
The entire facility has to undergo an ATP before it is commissioned.
Next is Testing and Commissioning, which
follows immediately after Acceptance. The user can now independently
audit the equipment. The data center is now ready to be
commissioned.
Management
The management and monitoring of your IT infrastructure
is crucial for stability in an increasingly complex networked
environment. It is the management of all the day-to-day
routine activities to ensure smooth functioning. Along with
our partners, Sify RMS we bring you the entire suite of
services that manage the application environment :

Security Systems Integration with BMS
A Building Management System (BMS) facilitates automated
centralized monitoring and control of all the infrastructure
technology essentials. This is achieved through the use
of integration software that links all the utilities and
services across a common communication link. It helps single
point supervision and control, quick detection of systems
faults, intelligent alarm management, online alarm printouts,
data recording for future analysis, and synchronization
between various utilities.
If you have a building management system,
we can integrate the security of your Data Center into it.
Otherwise we can put the BMS as well as the security system
for the Data Center in place and integrate both of them.
