Cisco Servers
The Cisco UCS are aware of the available fabric and storage resources. 
Highly secure, fully redundant and self-healing cloud. 
Ultimately, a single resource is never left to handle a task on its own, as intended by Cisco’s brilliant vision.  

Cisco Switches
No speed limitations on access to storage resources & external traffic reaching resources that are hosted in the Cloud.
Demands for disk access and other resources inside of your private cloud are able to be dynamically allocated as needed.  
Because of this design and the technology behind it, we will never reach a resource limitation with regard to switching.

Cisco Security
Cisco® ASA 5500 Series Adaptive Security Appliances (Considered Carrier Class edge network technology) to 
deliver a robust suite of highly integrated, enterprise class, market-leading security services for our 
mission-critical private cloud.  Provides enterprise level redundancy and fault tolerance to create a 
self-healing, self defending edge.   You are not just getting a shared IP space on the interface of your 
server that you have control over.  You are actually getting your own subnet that lives behind our 
redundant Cisco ASA’s firewall.  

IT Authorities creates the look and feel of having your own rack in a data center, with your own switches, 
your own firewall, your own address space and the availability to do with it what you like.

NetApp Storage
NetApp is integrated into the VMware vSphere console making it possible to do rapid restore features without impacting performance of the SAN and also without having to pull tapes.  

Rapid restores allows us to provide unprecedented speed in which a single file can be restored or a single email can be restored into an inbox, or when a user accidently deletes a file.  

Files can be restored to a file server simply by going into the snapshot of that file system and we can drag and drop basically any file that we would like to restore on a “per file per hosted server” basis and it doesn’t impact the performance of the SAN itself.

vmware Platform
Virtualization is the essential catalyst for cloud computing. As the virtualization leader, VMware builds on this solid foundation with platforms and solutions to power cloud infrastructures, build and run robust cloud applications, and supply end-user computing as a cloud-based service.
