If your objective is to design a good quality, reliable and secure Data Center with a small budget, you surely will need to apply and understand most of the possible solutions available in the market. To help you in this manner, we will explain the solutions that apply to our banking Data Center project of some not so usual Data Center manufacturers.

Feel free to click in all the links provided if you want to expand your knowledge about any of the explained solutions. Manufacturer's web page explains those solutions much better that I do!

NEC are Data Center manufacturers that have a wide variety of Servers available. From small Rack Servers (1 processor, 32GB RAM), useful for small business, to an Ultra High Density Server (up to 44 processors and 2.8TB of RAM), designed for Big Data Analytics for big enterprises.

NEC also presents a solution based on Server Virtualization, which, under some circumstances, may allow us to offer the same features with less TCO (Total Cost of Ownership). Those solutions are also environmentally friendly and had been proved for many years now.

Extreme Networks has a great catalog of solutions for LAN purposes; a great switching portfolio. But what's better about this company are the multiple case studies you can access in their web page, and analyze why are they using the solutions they choose. You can also take a look at their Software Defined Networking (SDN) Platform, and at their Data Center Solutions Guide, which is an invaluable guide for your first steps at Data Center design.

Barracuda Networks are Data Center manufacturers and a solution provider with great experience in Data Centers security. It provides some of the best Firewalls in the market, Filters and Security Services for web, email and to avoid spam. It has also solutions for SSL VPN and a cloud-based video surveillance solution, to ensure physical safety of our equipment.

Moreover, it provides an integrated platform (Barracuda Security Suit) to protect our Data Center from three of the most common threads with just one machine, that incorporates a NextGen Firewall, a Spam Firewall and a Web Filter.

I wish that after this post you got to know some Data Center manufacturers a little better, and you understood the great importance of comparing different companies and implementing their best solutions to the Data Center you are designing.
