An application’s infrastructure should be the high-performance engine that drives the business forward, but all too often it’s a logistical and financial anchor weighing down the application. The timeframe, complexity and cost required to match capacity with demand is typically too large a burden to manage, resulting in upfront over-engineering to meet long-term requirements, leading to:

• Wasted capital
• Underutilized hardware
• Unneeded software licenses

A true utility computing solution should meet three critical requirements:

• True capacity on-demand
• Enterprise-class infrastructure
• Scalable economic model

Data Return’s Infinistructure platform was built on five years of experience providing on-demand capability for our clients, and an understanding that utility is about more than form factor.

Previous utility computing efforts in the managed services industry have focused on form factor, maximizing data center density and minimizing deployment times with the use of blade servers. Infinistructure’s software layer extends the concept of simple horizontal scalability to a comprehensive on-demand solution that takes advantage of new breakthroughs in secure virtualization technology. Infinistructure features the ability to move applications across physical infrastructure according to hardware load and performance, allowing clients to precisely match their infrastructure to their business requirements, increasing flexibility, maximizing system utilization and lowering costs.



Capability On-Demand

Innovative virtualization technology provides a dynamic, flexible and highly secure virtual computing environment with guaranteed service levels, rapid provisioning and failover capabilities. Infinistructure is the industry’s first managed solution to support the physical migration of an application across hardware with no interruption of functionality. Enterprise-class dynamic storage provides higher I/O performance than on-board dedicated server disks. Server partitioning and isolation and PCI-compliant firewalls ensure a secure environment.

Enterprise-Class Performance and Architecture

Infinistructure’s enterprise-class server and storage infrastructure provides a best-of-breed platform with 64-bit dual core AMD Opteron processors, comprehensive redundancy features, gigabit networking, and disk performance exceeding typical dedicated server solutions. Infinistructure's inherent performance and reliability allows Data Return to offer application-level service level agreements at levels far in excess of a standard single-threaded environment.



Flexible and Scalable

Pay for what you need, when you need it. Servers and storage are available on demand, allowing you to switch on granular incremental capacity according to your business needs. Infinistructure is a completely managed solution, meaning no capital investment in rapidly depreciating hardware. You’ll realize substantial savings on the Infinistructure platform:

• Software licenses
• Hardware
• Managed services
