It isn’t enough to just deal with a problem when it occurs, you have to be proactive, which means you have to have dealt with it before anyone knows there was a problem.

Today businesses rely on their IT Infrastructure and Systems more than ever to communicate with their customers, complete internal processes and fulfil transactions.  When email is unavailable, it’s now critical than the phone system not working, but if you’ve deployed Unified Communications then you can’t have one without the other, making it even more critical.  That’s why IT need the tools to alert them to issue and help resolve them before they become problems.

At Strawberry Global Technology we know how much your IT investment means to you, that why we are helping customers better manage their infrastructure and systems through dynamic technologies such as Microsoft System Center.

Microsoft System Center is a collection of integrated server products that allow IT Professionals to automate routine operations and build more manageable systems.

• Operational Monitoring – Knowing whether your infrastructure is healthy is almost a prerequisite in today’s fast paced world.  Waiting to be told that something is wrong it often too late.  System Center Operations Manager (SCOM) 2007 R2 not only helps you collect and analyse information from system logs but also helps automate many common tasks, such as running scripts to resolve recurring issues which helps minimise downtime.

• Configuration Management – Whether you’re looking to upgrade to the last Operating System, such as Windows 7, or to virtualise your applications (APP-V) so you can run two different versions of Office simultaneously, Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM) 2007 R2 has it all.  Plus enforce desired configuration across your estate to ensure consistency of all your servers, manage the deployment of software updates in a timely fashion and audit all the software you are running to maintain compliance.

• Virtualisation Optimisation – With the release of Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2008 R2, Microsoft now have a compelling virtulisation platform that is very competitively priced.  Strawberry Global Technology are seeing more and more customers moving away from the traditional market leaders in favour of the Microsoft offering for both Server and Desktop virtualisation, plus application virtualisation.  System Center Virtual Machine Manager (SCVMM) 2008 R2 provides an integrated way to manage your virtual infrastructure alongside your physical infrastructure.

• Data Protection – At Strawberry Global Technology we are firm believers in utilising best of breed technologies and in today’s ‘always on’ business world IT Professionals need to have the tools to recover from system failures and user error faster than ever before.  System Center Data Protection Manager (DPM) 2007 utilises disk based backups and the native Microsoft Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) to provide a fast, reliable and efficient snapshot backup solution for many of your key Microsoft Servers, such as Windows, Exchange, SharePoint and SQL Server.  Most of our customers already have a preferred backup solution, but as we implement new solutions for them, such as SharePoint, customers are implementing dedicated backup solutions such as DPM 2007.  Why?  Because DPM 2007 is the best in class backup solution for products like SharePoint.
