Higher education has its risk and rewards.   Students are challenged with financial risk and are rewarded with graduation and the pride of a great future.   At a higher education institution, Compulink found the same challenging situation.

Our client outgrew their capacity to maintain a safe and uninterruptible power supply which jeopardized the future of the entire data center.  Compulink was asked as a valued supplier to assess the situation and recommend a total solution including design, installation, testing and validation.

Leaving no stone unturned, we conducted four site visits to plan and coordinate the installation.

Our starting point was to conduct four onsite meetings with all stakeholders, including Client Management, Manufacture reps, School Engineers and Electricians.  The first meeting Compulink coordinated was for discovery, in which all parties were introduced to the existing system environment, its flaws, limitations and risk areas.  Based on our Discovery session, Our second onsite meeting focused on the design of the new electrical system, where we detailed all requirements necessary to take the school’s data center to a safer and greater capacity electrical environment.  Our third onsite meeting validated the Design and planned in detail the implementation and execution of the new system upgrade.  The fourth and critically important onsite meeting was to prep all electrical work, on multiple floors, and ensure that installation would be safe and timely.

Installation was not without its obstacles and challenges.  The equipment delivered was over 3 thousand pounds and required special flooring and moving equipment to put it all in place.  The school’s electric system had to be completely closed down end of day Friday with the requirement to be up and running in 24 hours.   The value of the preparation meetings did pay off.  The Compulink engineers, under the auspices of the school’s electrician, installed the new UPS flawlessly, tested the system to the full satisfaction of the client and completed the installation safely in less than 24 hours.

Having overcome the risk associated with a major electrical system upgrade, the school was rewarded with the security of its future Infrastructure environment.   The school is now able to safely expand its infrastructure with the knowledge that the power supply had sufficient capacity for growth and secondary power sources were safe and dependable.

Compulink managed the risk associated with the project and was rewarded with the praise and thanks of our client and more importantly the accomplishment of delivering absolute quality in the performance of our services.

Compulink delivered 1200 computers (3600 items in total) to a Government client with 100% Client Satisfaction.   Business as normal for Compulink, however there is more to the story.  What appeared to be a normal procurement was deceiving, as several requirements and roadblocks affectively made delivery a challenge.  Compulink was required to break the delivery into four nightly runs at Midnight, into a Union restrictive building that was undergoing a complete renovation.

Securing a solid relationships with the Building Management, the Truckers, the Elevator crew, the Security Guards and Union labor, Compulink was able to coordinate and complete the delivery on time and within budget to the absolute satisfaction of the client.

Facing a host of logistical issues with tenacity is how Compulink built its reputation and delivers quality service.  For this assignment, we put our plan together and executed flawlessly.

Business needs and enterprise reach are driving monumental shifts in the architecture of networks. Naturally, the SD-WAN vendor market has responded aggressively, knowing that by 2020 the space willbe worth more than six billion dollars, according to IDC. Choices are vast and include offerings from tried and true large networking vendors, focused WAN specialists and venture-funded startups.
We know SD-WAN technology is an effective and economical solution that addresses goals for agility, speed, security. Understanding your enterprise needs will help lead you to the optimal vendor. As
important as unique case scenarios is the assurance that a vendor partner will not disrupt the current WAN scenario as SD-WAN installation is in process and building an SD-WAN that can securely carry cloud demands.

The three main vendor types are:
1. Controller-based solutions
2. Appliance based overlay solutions that create a virtual IP network between vendors hardware across any network
3. Advanced automation and change control solutions using existing hardware

One reputable player cited in a Packet Pushers blog post written by Ethan Banks expounds on NetScaler (Citrix’s skin in the game), which features, “…treating multiple WAN circuits as a unified pool of bandwidth, centralized reporting, and integrated WAN optimization. The product “appears to be the real deal,” he said. NetScaler was also cited in Network Computing’s 12 Sizzling SD-WAN Vendors. Network World offers four considerations to help prepare you as you explore SD-WAN solution that is right for your business.

1. Automated management – The impact of automation on deployment and management costs =training and staffing. IT organizations should ask vendors how they minimize the cost and effort of
“Day 2” operations management such as policy changes, adding new applications, security and image updates
2. Route control – Without proper route control, business critical applications running on the WAN may not get the bandwidth, priority and load balancing needed for the best user experience.
Ideally, application traffic utilizes all available WAN circuits and bandwidth to make best use of and IT department’s existing WAN infrastructure, by load balancing across WAN circuits and utilizing
backup edge routers
3. Proactive – consider a solution’s ability to detect problems and respond to network outages so that critical applications don’t experience loss of service. Looking at the management tools of a
solution can provide insight into IT management
4. Support for hybrid deployments – Can the solution support hybrid deployments by combining multiple WAN transports such as MPLS, Internet, cellular or satellite links? Each has different
capabilities in areas such as bandwidth, SLA classes of service, security postures, and pricing

We know your choices are plentiful. After you’ve reviewed and prioritized against the needs of your business, next consider a checklist of vendor fundamentals where technological prowess, customer
service and agility in implementation are all of equal value.

Recently an article in CIO stated that Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) is set to outpace the rest of the cloud market in 2018. It also showed that cloud adoption grew significantly in 2017. The article states that Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) and Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) grew by 47 percent while Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) grew by 31 percent. More and more organizations are moving to the cloud.

First let’s briefly explain what IaaS is before we comment on this trend. Infrastructure-as-a-Service is a cloud option that removes the responsibility of building and maintaining IT infrastructure from the end user. In essence, traditionally you as a business may have a server room, floor, or building. With IaaS you no longer have that. All the infrastructure equipment is no longer necessary. Your cloud provider builds and maintains the hardware infrastructure. You still manage your applications and data, but the hardware infrastructure is the responsibility of your provider.

Now that we explained IaaS, you can clearly see why it is trending. Rather than have exploding IT budgets around the hardware, you can cut that cost with a IaaS cloud provider. Instead of paying the cost upfront for hardware, you pay a monthly or annual fee. The best part is that you only pay for what you need. Also when the hardware needs to be upgraded, its the responsibility of the provider.

If your looking for an IaaS provider, you should look into Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, and Citrix to name a few. They are the top providers, but there are many of these providers around, and it all depends on budget and trust.

Let’s keep an eye on cloud adoption as we go on in 2018. Is this the year the cloud takes over the world?

Compulink Technologies opens 2018 with a new accomplishment, our sales team has won a sales contest through our distributor Ingram Micro. We won the contest by making a significant number of  Cisco sales and the reward was a full expense paid trip to the Dominican Republic.

 Congratulations to our Vice President of Sales. She has been the driving force behind the sales machine that is Compulink. Our VP’s ability to close multiple Cisco sales opportunities was the critical factor in winning this contest. It was a team effort all around, and everyone on our sales team should be proud of this accomplishment.

Our Vice President will be heading out on her well-deserved trip in a few weeks with her family, but the hard work continues. Cisco is one of our biggest partners and it goes without saying that we will continue to aim high in driving Cisco sales.
