Data Centre Automation

Data Centre Automation is high on the agenda of many enterprises running large data centres - enabling them to:

• Simplify infrastructure management
• Lower operational costs
• Improve service levels
• Demonstrate compliance

Morse’s unique ability to deliver successful data centre automation lies in the fact that we offer:

• Independence of toolset technology – giving us ability to advise clients objectively on  the solution best suited to their needs
• Proven track record – our consultants have delivered multiple server automation solutions e.g. Within the data centre of a large retail bank encompassing over 4000 server devices.
• The combination of hands-on technical expertise with strong process design for improved operational and service management

Data centre automation is broken down into four specific domains – Server, Network, Storage and Process - and is delivered through combinations of a single cross-platform toolset and changes to existing IT organisational silos and processes.
