Infrastructure Solutions

As a Premium IBM Business Partner, awarded 2007 Victorian Solutions Provider of the Year, Advent One has demonstrated its high level of expertise in successfully customising, delivering and supporting IT infrastructure solutions for a wide range of clients.

Servers

Advent One bases its infrastructure solutions on IBM's POWER, BladeCenter and xSeries servers to reduce complexity, improve systems management and increase flexibility while driving down total cost of ownership. IBM BladeCenter systems support a wide selection of processor technologies and operating systems – allowing clients to run their diverse workloads inside a single architecture.

Storage

Advent One has significant experience in integrating storage solutions based on IBM technology:

  • Tivoli Storage Manager improves scalability, eases administration and enhances the security of your backup data
  • SAN Volume Controller (SVC) lets you retain existing storage equipment and creates a tiered hierarchy that puts performance where you need it, when you need it
  • the TotalStorage family of disk storage systems improve management efficiencies and flexibility, reduce floor space, provide point–in–time and mirroring performance and functional advantages to help you gain the most benefit from your corporate data
QuickSELECT for DB2

DB2 database performance on your mainframe is critical to your day–to–day operations. Advent One has introduced a unique new solution which can:

  • dramatically improve performance of your database
  • defer additional expenditure on upgrading your mainframe systems
  • reduce the time you spend on database tuning

QuickSELECT reduces CPU usage and I/O consumption without any changes to your database or application programs, allowing you to run a given DB2 mainframe load using fewer resources or, conversely, enabling better performance with fewer resources.
