Cloud Computing
Are you running out of datacenter space and/or the ability to power and cool the environment?
Do you need to implement some kind of disaster recovery program, but think you can’t afford one?
Don’t have the horsepower or infrastructure available to run your new ERP system or critical line of business application?
What’s growing faster – the amount of e-mail and data you need to archive, or your budget for storage?
Are you ready for an infrastructure refresh and feel that outsourcing the management, replacement and upgrades of your infrastructure is an option?
Let Merrimac Solutions’ cloud computing offerings take away your scalability and support worries, and also take capital equipment expenses off your books. Merrimac provides a variety of secure, reliable shared resources services that we can customize to meet your business and budget needs. For example, you can:
Gain responsive disaster recovery capabilities by automatically backing up your systems remotely to our secure, managed data center that is staffed 24x7.
Use the cloud for scalable, low-cost data storage.
Avoid software licensing costs and maintenance requirements by accessing databases, business applications and other solutions via software-as-a-service (SaaS).
Merrimac Solutions offers these and other cloud computing services so you can get the infrastructure you need today without a big upfront investment that locks you in to systems for years to come. The pay-as-you-go model minimizes costs and maximizes flexibility while giving you access and support for solutions from leading vendors including VMWare, Microsoft, Citrix, Cisco, Dell, Symantec and Xiotech.
