Internet Service Providers (ISPs)
|
The Internet provides an explosive focal point for the growing world of peer-to-peer sharing, high definition video, and the transfer and backup of media. ISPs don't only maintain the bandwidth which is required to keep people connected, they are also on the forefront of storing the media which people continuously want delivered with better quality, speed, and the same reliability other broadcasting methods provide. The qualities of your storage architecture (scalability, robustness, and performance) coupled with the need to offer a cost-effective service, are only some of the complex hurdles faced by every large-scale distributed infrastructure. The Challenges: • Scalability • Robustness • Performance Our Solutions: Berkeley Communications understands the importance of staying within your budget. We will work with you to design cost-effective, custom solutions to meet your needs. Scalability The consideration of capacity is the first requirement of any network, and the problems presented in a storage network are no different. Users continue to drive demand for more content in larger formats, and the size of your footprint needs to remain ahead of their acceleration. Berkeley Communications builds massively scalable systems that can grow quickly, from tens of terabytes to tens of petabytes, without any associated downtime. We maintain stock on-hand in our facility at all times to ensure that if a critical need has to be met in short order, we're able to provide superior service, extending your infrastructure anywhere in the world instantly. Robustness Internet service providers have strict SLAs for uptime, and the providers' reputations are based on the ability to keep the network up 24/7/365 across the world. Berkeley Communications' outstanding service exceeds even the most strict service levels through the application of fault tolerant storage engineering, a dedicated senior support staff, and the ability to perform beyond expectations from planning to implementation to maintenance. Our combination of system administrators, developers, and test lab technicians ensures that not only will we size the proper deployment across your network, but we will also ensure the quality of parts and their interoperability with your systems throughout the entire lifecycle of your equipment. Our facility tests the newest equipment, while also maintaining a lab full of legacy systems, to ensure our delivered solution is fully compatible. Performance The primary differentiator between any company and its competitors is the performance of its systems. The establishment of network peering points, infrastructure upgrades, and the use of caching networks can be rendered useless if the data is not immediately accessible from the storage it resides upon. With the growth in production of content, as well as the desire of users to have more selection and faster access times, the amount of content that needs to remain available for immediate download grows exponentially. Therefore, advanced techniques need to be used to ensure that your data remains intelligently positioned across your spindles, especially as your infrastructure grows out onto newer technologies. Berkeley Communications provides consulting on the hardware choices to enable a global storage network, and can also give specialized knowledge on tuning your system for peak performance.
