IT Procurement

Bring Your Own Device – It’s an incontrovertible fact that people have fairly strong preferences when it comes to their devices. You can allow your employees to work on the devices that suit them best by utilizing a virtual desktop infrastructure that allows your corporate data and applications to be accessed securely on a variety of platforms.

Not only does Bring Your Own Device have the potential to increase employee productivity, it reduces your IT costs.

However, there are certain operational complexities and security risks that have to be contended with. At Sequential Networks, we have a variety of Bring Your Own Device solutions that can help you to take advantage of the benefits of Bring Your Own Device, while reducing the attendant risks.

Collaboration between the office and the remote employees can be significantly improved when you have a solution that’s customised to your business needs.

Network Connectivity

As IT departments continue to face challenges regarding maintaining security while still empowering the end user, integrating personal devices into the company becomes a consideration that every company is finding it necessary to deal with. The current generation of devices consists of highly reliable tools, and businesses would do well to leverage them.

We partner with leading security vendors to ensure that the integrity and security of your data is maintained when it’s being delivered to Bring Your Own Device. You can be sure that your data is secure regardless of device or platform.

In cooperation with our partners, we can offer complete Bring Your Own Device service, including:

 In today’s workplace, users no longer have to access data by means of desktop computers or laptops – there are numerous solutions that can fulfil the needs of any business and any individual. You can work and have your information delivered from large, high-powered workstations, or from pocket-sized smartphones. It depends entirely on your End User Computing Hardware requirements.

The devices you use will be determined by the individual users, and their positions in your business.

We also provide services that are required in enterprise environments, including remote access audits to determine what is needed for BYOD deployment, and asset tagging.

Servers / Rack and Power

The cornerstone of any IT infrastructure is its server. Virtualisation has resulted in servers needing more processing power and memory, reduced footprints, and simplified management. Our account managers can advise you on the technology involved, and we can create servers that are fully configured before they’re deployed. We also offer rack and power planning, performance testing, power consumption analysis, and servers IO acceleration products.

Efficacy

With advances in technology and reductions in cost, server solutions have become increasingly accessible to virtually any business. Solutions are available across the continuum, from small application blades to huge, cloud-based server farms.

Primary Storage

It can be hard to control rapidly growing data. Often, businesses find that it’s an expensive, complex procedure, and they need to identify ways of maximising Data Storage efficiency without adding layers of complexity, disrupting business, or incurring more costs.
We offer storage portfolios that deliver performance, simplicity, and cost-effectiveness, regardless of scale – entry level, Tier 1 Data Storage across branch office, data centres for block, object and file workloads, and for solid state media and HDD.

Block

Traditional technology stacks are usually comprised of multiple vendors or “best of breed” solutions for specific projects. This creates vendor sprawl and operational difficulties. Converged infrastructure consolidates computing, networking, Data Storage, management and virtualisation into a single platform. This means that businesses can reduce their need for IT personnel and their dependence on various vendors. It also means that operations run more smoothly.

We can advise you on the best converged infrastructure solution for your business. Our solutions are fully customised to suit your specific needs, whatever the size of your operation.

We are in the midst of a digital revolution unlike anything experienced by previous generations, with technology expanding exponentially Networking Security are critical subjects. This means that the demand and the need for access to online services is greater than it’s ever been. In fact, it’s estimated that by the year 2020, there will be approximately 4 billion people online, and about 31 billion devices in use.

Along with the increased demand for online access comes a need for secure, unified Networking Security. Currently, broadband offers 24/7 access, but the security challenges are huge.

Intrusion prevention and detection systems, and next generation firewalls, are only as effective as the policies and rules that regulate them. We’re no longer able to just “set and forget” the security parameters, since now many different applications share data, users and networks. Malicious attacks are focused, frequent, and constantly evolving in order to target and appropriate your data.
