If you are looking into using a managed service provider’s support, you already know how it would work for your company. Maybe your company has expanded a lot lately, or you’re thinking about starting a company, and you want to make sure you get started on the right foot. We often see large colocation data centers pushing the fact that you can choose their facility rather than the customized service, scalability, or advanced functionality it can offer based on its proximity to your office.
Although all data centers offer some degree of technical support, select data centers add substantial value to the services they provide. They hire a team of highly qualified engineers who carry on additional duties to fulfill their customers’ individual needs better. It involves the resolution of IT problems related to your infrastructure that your IT workers will usually manage. A remote hands support data center helps you to concentrate your internal Information Technology team on unique in-house tasks while the engineers handle the issues related to your equipment and network in their data center. This ability to use the “remote hands” of the data center brings conventional IT help to a whole new level and should be a vital part of your strategy.
UnitedLayer’s Remote Hands service provides access to a team of highly trained, in-house, licensed 24x7x365 technicians who can remotely control servers via a single glass pane known as UnityOneCloud. By building a library of information about the equipment, rack installation, cabling, and wiring of cross-connect termination solutions, shipping, and receiving for data center equipment/inventory boxes, we also provide a detailed cage and cabinet audit with Inventory Audit. Our highly trained and experienced rack installers for the data center racking and stacking of equipment.
UnitedLayer offers receiving and delivery facilities for data center equipment/inventory boxes, ensuring the protection of equipment or shipments for customers. We provide cabling and wiring services in global data centers, including cross-connect termination solutions, along with transferring, securing, or dressing existing cables in the data center.
The remote hands of a data center are helping hands when and where you need them. It should be at the forefront of your overall IT plan, from tackling daily tasks to rapidly unraveling a crisis. You can have peace of mind knowing that while UnitedLayer Colocation keeps a watchful eye on your network, you can focus on strategic in-house ventures.

Business owners usually have to spend a lot of time, money, and energy making technology-related decisions and recruiting staff to manage and maintain their IT infrastructure. By opting for a service-based IaaS model, business organizations can concentrate their time and resources on where they are required. Like all cloud computing services, IaaS provides users access to computing resources in a virtualized environment. This is done through a public connection, usually through the internet. IaaS provides the users the access to the virtualized environment for establishing their own IT platforms.
IaaS provides resources that mainly belong to virtualized hardware, also known as the computing infrastructure. The IaaS environment offerings include network connections, virtual server space, load balancers, and IP addresses. In physical terms, the cloud service provider extracts the pool of hardware resources from a group of servers and networks that are usually spread across various data centers. The cloud service provider is responsible for managing all the resources.

Enhance your cloud computing capabilities with United Private Cloud
Organizations are increasingly turning to private clouds for their data needs. Cloud computing helps organizations optimize their applications and processes to generate the best value from their IT investments. Cloud adoption is perceived to be very complex and challenging for most organizations. In a survey conducted by Statista, around 83% of respondents cited cloud security as a significant challenge. Security concerns are justified with increasing frequency and potency of cyber attacks, especially with leading public clouds and prominent companies being the prime target of hackers. There are several other challenges that public clouds face, such as managing governance and a lack of resources and expertise. Public clouds cannot afford to customize governance and expertise for every company. And as such private clouds are a far more viable option.

Companies have had to arrange for all employees to work remotely full time due to the uncertainties created by COVID 19. While remote working has helped companies maintain productivity levels, the real test isn’t just accommodating flexible work hours and virtual collaboration. The need of the hour is to scale the remote working infrastructure to accommodate all employees. Integrating the entire workforce remotely comes with several challenges. The most obvious one is if the devices available with employees at home can support applications required to work efficiently. Secondly, whether they have access to adequate internet connectivity to ensure synchronization similar to the physical workplace.
In physical workplaces, download speeds are required to be high for employees to access the internet; information is downloaded from company databases. Upload speeds are generally lower since fewer files need to be uploaded than downloaded. When the workplace functions remotely, organizations have to upload files when employees seek to access it, which means that information will arrive much slower than before due to low upload speeds. Internet speeds on personal devices are not consistent, which may disrupt the quality of work. Upload speeds generally being low affects data extraction from the company database and the employees when they upload any material they may have worked on.
Desktops have the most private data that a company can have. Several key advantages of a remote desktop system are centralized management, automatic updates, and security patches, making it easy to manage multiple systems. It is where the UnitedDaaS comes in; it provides a robust governance and monitoring model and eases the management of the devices, their upgrades, and security. Keeping data secure across different locations, devices, and networks is a steep mountain to climb. Migrating applications to the cloud mitigate security challenges. Private clouds offer dedicated, secure data centers that can scale and meet performance requirements. Public clouds provide remote desktop applications, but they operate on a shared infrastructure, which means that they are inherently exposed to attacks by malicious parties. UnitedDaaS is fully compliant with SSAE18, SOC 1 and SOC 2 security standards, including a secure network optimized Virtual Private Network (VPN) connection for remote access.
The high-performance work from home virtual server by UnitedLayer includes a remote Desktop as a Service solution deployed in your private, dedicated, and highly secure Virtual Data Center (vDC). The existence of enterprise applications and employee desktops on the same private cloud allows for a robust, high performing system as it eliminates the lag from the data being relayed to employees from applications. These servers run on 10Gg networking and offer high-performance computing with 99.999% high-availability, all-flash storage. UnitedLayer can spin up your Virtual Data Center (vDC) solution and set up your applications and optimize them within minutes.

According to a recent Right Scale survey – 93 percent of businesses use cloud technology in some form or other. Cloud computing has advantages for many types of organizations, but migrating your business to the cloud is easier said than done to ultimately profit from a step into the cloud. A range of critical decisions needs to be taken by organizations. Next, you have to determine what type of cloud system best suits the needs of your business. Although some well-known companies are hyperscale public cloud providers, a private cloud is a more suitable option for many organizations.
Gartner defines a ‘Private’ cloud as a form of cloud computing used by only one organization or ensures that an organization is completely isolated from others. A private cloud provides the benefits of flexibility, cost savings, security, and control. These benefits are especially valuable to businesses with predictable workloads or requirements for customization and companies in regulated industries.
Once an organization’s cloud needs and priorities are determined, it can determine whether the private cloud is the right kind of IT environment. The private cloud would be the only viable choice for specific organizations to ensure regulatory compliance, while the viability could be different for other organizations. An enterprise will assess its flexibility, compliance, security, and cost criteria to decide whether it will benefit from deploying a private cloud. It should also consider the applications it uses, what environment and its capabilities are suitable for them, and the kinds of services it offers. A professional service provider that provides hosting private cloud solutions can assist with these evaluations and provide organizational-specific recommendations.
