Central, critical and indispensable

Data centers are the central nervous system of every company. All important data is stored and processed here; all critical services are provided here. This critical role requires a fault-tolerant infrastructure to maintain operations – even if a location should fail.

That's why at CMS IT-Consulting GmbH, we build data centers that are not only functional and powerful but also highly redundant. The use of state-of-the-art network fabric technologies enables superior data flow control and seamless VM mobility across different locations - without compromising performance.

Technology and Key Features of our Data Center Solutions

Our data center solutions utilize advanced network fabric technologies that replace traditional architectures and protocols such as spanning tree or switch clustering with more flexible technologies. This enables our solutions to provide end-to-end segmentation and enhanced security features. At the same time, latency is significantly reduced and throughput rates are increased, which particularly optimizes east-west data traffic within data centers.

FAQ

  • What is a Data Center?

    A data center is the heart of every company. This is where all central data streams come together: they are stored, processed, and managed here. At the same time, the data center provides the necessary services and resources that a company needs for its smooth operation and business processes. It is the technological foundation that keeps everything running.

  • How are performance requirements evaluated for different company sizes?

    CMS IT-Consulting GmbH evaluates performance requirements for various company sizes by having the team conduct a thorough analysis of each customer's specific needs and business processes: required bandwidths, storage requirements, specific applications that need to be supported.

    Depending on these factors, we offer tailored solutions: highly scalable network solutions for large, multinational corporations that can grow in the future, and flexible and economical options for smaller companies. Our goal is always to ensure that each customer receives exactly the performance and scalability they need to work efficiently and successfully.

  • How does CMS contribute to optimizing network performance?

    CMS IT-Consulting uses advanced network fabric technologies and cloud management solutions. Because systems must remain functional even during failures or other serious disruptions. Through redundant design of critical components and dynamic data flow control, we can ensure that operations can be maintained 24/7.

  • What advantages does network fabric technology offer compared to traditional approaches like Spanning Tree?

    Network fabric technology is more efficient and secure than traditional approaches like spanning tree. While spanning tree only allows a single, limited connection per segment, fabric technology creates dynamic, end-to-end segmentation across the entire network. The results: optimized data flows, lower latency, and better infrastructure utilization. At the same time, security is improved through isolated data streams and robust access management.

  • Which technology partners does CMS work with?

    Extreme Networks offers advanced switch hardware combined with cloud management technology - ideal for environments requiring seamless integration from data centers to end users.

    Arista Networks specializes in highly efficient data center networks, Arista stands out with solutions that offer low latency and high throughput rates - ideal for complex and dynamic enterprise environments.

    HPE Aruba and Huawei: Both offer good solutions for smaller projects with specific requirements.

  • Can CMS solutions grow with my business?

    Of course. The solutions from CMS IT-Consulting and its partners are designed to grow with your company. Scalable network solutions provide the flexibility to respond to changing business requirements - whether through integrating new locations, supporting growing data volumes, or implementing additional services.
