This section describes the most relevant services associated with the data processing capabilities of the technological infrastructure.
It includes the definition of the processing capacity needs and design of the most appropriate solution to the requirements. Physical servers can be stand-alone (full servers installed on-site) or blade (servers that share various components to save space and money, among other advantages). Some of the market solutions in this category are HP Proliant ™, HP BladeSystem ™, etc.
It covers the design, configuration, and management of the hypervisor that will orchestrate the proper operation of the virtual machines. Some of the technologies used under this category are VMware ESXI ™ and Microsoft Hyper-V ™, among others. Concerning the advantages of this type of solution, it is worth noting the high availability and the optimization of the resources of the physical servers.
It addresses the design and configuration of virtualization methods where it is possible to create virtual machines using a single shared operating system for all of them. One of the advantages of this type of technology is to optimally encapsulate applications, provide greater portability, and ease of deployment. Some of the market solutions that support this type of methodology are Google Kubernetes ™, Amazon Elastic Kubernetes ™, Etc.
Consulting and design of solutions based on midrange systems where greater workload capacities, availability, performance and maturity are required. In this category we can mention HP Integrity ™ systems.
It covers analysis, design, and management of high-performance and scalable cloud-based processing (IaaS) solutions where you pay for the use effectively given. Solutions of this type are Google Compute Engine ™, Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud ™, Microsoft Azure Virtual Machine ™, etc.
Each of the solutions mentioned before requires considering fundamental attributes to let the processing capacity is always within expectations such as aspects related to High Availability, Performance, and Security.
