niu stand out among numerous ‘hosting’ providers in the marketplace thanks to our value-based solution design process – providing bespoke management services to meet a client's requirement.
Our service offerings are based around proactive management, using IBM's Director and Tivoli solutions to identify the signs of a potential service outage before it happens. A management portal is available to both clients and support staff, presenting a real-time shared view of each service.
niu's leading expertise and server skill set is based upon IBM infrastructure, focusing on System X, System P and System I server technologies. As well as these hardware technologies, niu can meet the needs of each client by supporting a range of operating systems including Windows, Linux, AIX, i5OS (formerly OS/400). We are also able to offer virtualisation technologies based around VMware to provide flexibility to clients not wanting dedicated hardware platforms, per application.
For shared storage services, niu operate an enterprise-class shared SAN solution, which can be acquired on a price per Gb basis, bringing financial advantages by reducing potential capital outlay for new client projects. Should a client not want shared storage solutions, niu are skilled in the full IBM range, and have the knowledge and experience to support dedicated storage infrastructure, covering SAN environments from entry-level through to XIV and N-Series.
niu owns and maintains all aspects of service, providing an SLA to availability of operating system and beyond. We remove the need for clients to worry about the minutia of service delivery, and provide high-performance bespoke infrastructure that benefits businesses immediately.
