SmartStyle
SmartStyle Computing is a cutting edge private cloud solution consisting of servers, storage and advanced server, network and storage virtualization technology that allows VARs, and IT service providers, system integrators to deliver ITaaS (IT as a service) to their customers. By creating a low cost private solution for a monthly fee to the IT channel, Zenith Infotech is helping the IT channel capitalize on the cloud computing trend and further their managed service relationship with their customers.
SmartStyle Computing is a versatile platform that can be used for:
- Running virtual workloads (servers and desktops). Customers no longer need to buy conventional hardware. Rather all their workloads can run as virtual machines within a three cloud server or larger SmartStyle Environment and leverage the high availability, automated backup snapshots and similar cutting edge features to have a highly resilient platform for their computing needs.
- Business Continuity for physical or virtual Windows servers and desktops outside of SmartStyle that a customer may have.
- Highly Available iSCSI storage for physical and virtual machines.
The basic building blocks of a SmartStyle Computing solution are cloud servers (CS). Each cloud server is a complete system consisting of processing capacity (CPU, memory), advanced storage and virtualization technology. A customer can start with one cloud server and then add more as further processing and/or storage capacity is needed. Multiple cloud servers combine to form a highly redundant computing grid which can be used for running virtual machines, providing business continuity as well as iSCSI storage all at the same time.
Zenith Infotech provides a number of add-ons around the core SmartStyle Computing Solutions which are as follows:
-
MirrorCloud - A lightweight software agent that provides customers the ability to mirror the contents of a Windows server or desktop to a SmartStyle with an RPO of less than 30 seconds. With MirrorCloud customers can perform file, folder, e-mail and database restores with a few clicks of a mouse. MirrorCloud also leverages the ability of SmartStyle Computing to run virtual machines to create a virtual image of a failed server or desktop within minutes minimizing customer downtime.
