Azure Stack HCI design without the complexity
Scope solutions without the technical headache and provide your customers with optimised configurations in seconds. With Acuutech ScopeSys; design tuned AS HCI solutions that meet your customers exact requirements, get to market faster and increase your transaction rates.
Design in terms of business requirements, not component parts, with no technical knowledge of Azure Stack HCI or hardware required.
Let Acuutech ScopeSys do the design math, always updated with the latest hardware and Azure Stack HCI feature changes, it correctly calculates the optimum hardware and networking configuration for your customer needs, allowing you to focus on service, 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 Stack System itself.
Acuutech MESH provides an integrated workflow from end-to-end; planning, information gathering and resource management. Designed to make sure your AS HCI solutions deploy and integrate into your clients 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; all delivered as part of the integrated Acuutech MESH solution bundle.
Managed automated deployment
Fully automated deployment, from bare metal to working, validated system at the push of a button (and a USB stick). 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
- AS HCI services
- Burn-in and validation
No PowerShell scripts, no Windows setup screens, no configuration wizards, no fiddling around with switch configurations; NO MISTAKES!
Difficulty attending deployment location. No problem, deploy the entire system remotely, from your office or via one of our approved partners, who can even perform the entire process for you. Then just deliver the turnkey solution to site and turn on the power.
Advanced capabilities, ready to go
Volume Replication
Easily replicate between two locations to enable fast system failover and disaster recovery.
Shielded VM
Encrypt and protect sensitive or secure VM’s, mitigating the risk of attack or threat. Removing the requirement for traditional solutions complex or costly solutions.
Software Defined Networking
Network segmentation and isolation, ideal for organisations wanting to separate tenants or business units.
Virtual Desktop
Azure hosted virtual desktop solution (Windows Virtual Desktop, WVD), 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. The powerful Acuutech MESH audit engines gives you complete visibility of all operations performed on-prem, hybrid and cloud performed through Acuutech MESH.
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. Ideal for service provides, CSP partners or clients running multiple departments or organisations on a single system.
Its powerful capabilities make it easy to create billing solutions based on almost any on-prem, Azure/M365 item or metric. Even bundled solutions that combine elements between all three into a single commercial product.
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.
With Acuutech MESH 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.
Of course, if you are a data scientist or don’t like things being simple, Acuutech MESH also gives you full access to the vast array of metric’s collected and historically recorded, to allow you to build advanced data visualisations of you choosing.
Hello world; cloud meets on-prem
