DATA CENTER & IT INFRASTRUCTURE

Modernize Your Data Center

Data Center Technology

According to Gartner, the role of IT in the future will be to manage the global infrastructure and its associated services. The end result: a high-availability and redundant environment focused on enabling the rapid deployment of business services and deploying workloads to the right locations. To help your business prepare for the future and operate efficiently, our team of solution architects and engineers analyze your applications, workloads, and processes to identify opportunities that will optimize delivery of your systems.

Whether you choose to deploy a public or private cloud, or bare metal or hybrid infrastructure, ICG’s got you covered. Because ICG is not invested in a single vendor or technology, your team can be confident that our team of experts will help assess, plan, and design a custom solution that will help you drive revenue while reducing operational costs.

Architecture & Implementation
- At ICG, we help you simplify your infrastructure by virtualizing your computing environment and creating software-based versions of applications, servers, storage, and networks. Not only does this improve your agility without breaking the bank, but it allows you to focus on IT initiatives that get you one step closer to reaching your business goals.
Virtual Desktops
- ICG specializes in helping businesses implement and manage their virtual desktops while also providing access to crucial applications. Create a flexible and scalable work environment using software like VMware, Horizon, Citrix, or Remote Desktop Services (RDS). Plus, deploy desktops into logical workflows and receive in-depth monitoring capabilities within your workspace.
Application Delivery
- Receive secure access to your applications fast from anywhere. With on-demand access to your crucial business applications, your business will have the flexibility to grow and expand while delivering all mission-critical applications.

Backup & Disaster Recovery

Backup
- Architecting your backups is critical to protecting your data. Your business is only as good as your last RESTORE. That’s why protecting your data is our utmost priority. We provide extensive backup solutions for even the most sensitive information. That’s why ICG invokes three data copies on two media types with two offsite copies. This way, when disaster hits, hope isn’t lost.
Disaster Recovery
- Plan for the unexpected. While you may go to great lengths to keep your company protected, some things are simply out of your control. ICG’s Disaster Recovery services provide your business with a strategic plan to protect you from natural disasters, blackouts, and cyberattacks. We determine Real-Time Objectives (RTO) and Recovery Point Objectives (RPO) and outline a plan of action before, during, and after the damage is done.
Replication
- One copy is never enough. We stress the importance of ensuring your data is copied and moved between your company’s sites so your data remains available no matter what happens. Replication comes in many forms from hardware and software, to on-premise, and offsite. At ICG, we don’t let disaster slow you down. We architect the “right replication” solution for your business.
