Let Acuutech ScopeSys do the design math, always updated with the latest hardware and Azure Local feature changes, it correctly calculates the optimum hardware and networking configuration for your needs, allowing you to focus on solutions, not hardware parts.

Get working faster

True fully managed planning

We all know that planning deployments is a complex activity, with many stages where problems can occur:

  • making sure all the parts arrive
  • collecting configuration information
  • planning deliveries or building access
  • integrating with existing systems

All of this before even starting to think about the technical planning and configuration of the Azure Local or Windows Server System itself.

Acuutech provides an integrated workflow from end-to-end; planning, information gathering and resource management.  Designed to make sure your Azure Local solutions deploy and integrate into your existing systems, first time, every time.

More than simply professional services or consultation, Acuutech takes care of everything, someone just needs to plug the hardware in and lets Acuutech advacned fuilly automated deployment solution do the rest, all delivered as part of the integrated solution bundle.

Managed automated deployment 

Fully automated deployment, from bare metal to working, validated system at the push of a button.  When we say fully automated, we mean fully automated, end-to-end deployment with no human interaction or technical skills required.  Repeatable, scalable, reliable; configuring the entire platform:

  • hardware low level settings
  • networking
  • operating systems
  • Azure Local services
  • Burn-in and validation

No PowerShell scripts, no Windows setup screens, no configuration wizards, no Azure portals, no fiddling around with switch configurations;  NO MISTAKES!

Difficulty attending the deployment location.  No problem, deploy the entire system remotely.

Advanced capabilities, ready to go

Multi-Site DR and Stretch Clusters

Easily replicate between two locations to enable fast system failover and disaster recovery.

Managed Kuberneties (AKS)

Easily deploy, operate and manage Kubernetes based workloads with the Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) supporting Windows and Linux workloads of top of Azure Local or Windows Server based solutions

Software Defined Networking

Network segmentation and isolation, ideal for organisations wanting to separate tenants or business units.

Virtual Desktop

Azure Local hosted virtual desktop solution (AVD), supporting a wide range of VM types and configurations. Deploy any application, with support for GPU acceleration enhancing graphics or compute intensive workloads.

Track, log, report 

 

Isaac Newton said, “For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction”, we like to say, “for every action, there is a detailed audit of the action”.

Who, when, where, how; every system operation, every configuration change, every premature set, recorded, logged and tracked from the millisecond it is created.  Our powerful audit engines gives you complete visibility of all operations performed on-prem, hybrid and cloud.

Easily gain deep inside into managed systems, track usage trends or known exactly when a specific item was changed.

With the optional billing module extend the audit system, to provide advanced change-back and billing capabilities for on-prem, Azure and Microsoft 365.

Monitoring made simple

Telemetry, data points, log counters and 1.27 million graphs’ (oh and a requirement to be a data analytics’ expert), the traditional approach to monitoring solutions.

We follow the key design goal; simplify.  With clear and concise information, that is intelligent and content aware.

Built to deliver the information that is important and relevant; like workload status, system health or capacity management.  Seamlessly blending the vast array of information collected between the disconnected systems; server hardware, networking, software and services, into simple to use integrated dashboards.

Hello world; cloud meets on-prem

 

Azure Local is hybrid ready and connected, easily leverage these capabilities and more with a broad suite of additional services, all delivered as fully managed turnkey solutions.

Meet your business objectives, from managed disaster recovery or streamlined IaaS, to powerful virtual desktop solutions and mobile device management.  With our services provide your organisation with the solutions you need in the hybrid, connected world.
