This "specialization" translates into an in-depth understanding of the unique business challenges, regulations, market trends, competitive landscape, operating practices and relevant hardware and software technologies within each vertical. Ultimately, we understand your business and are poised to help.
SOLUTIONS & PROFESSIONAL SERVICES
Applied is a single-source solutions and professional services provider of three practice areas: Unified Data Center, Unified Infrastructure and Unified Manufacturing.
The Unified Data Center is an architecture which integrates network, application, compute, storage access and virtualization components into a single, highly available, cohesive platform. Also known as Unified Computing, Unified Data Center is often mentioned in the context of private / public cloud computing. Ultimately, it's about decoupling scale from complexity. Simply put, the Unified Data Center scales easily and immediately to provide a highly available, elastic infrastructure.
The Unified Infrastructure enables human to human communication. The Unified Infrastructure encompasses stand-alone and collaborative solutions that include networking, mobility, voice, data, instant messaging, presence, web conferencing, text and more.
Unified Manufacturing significantly reduces downtime and outages while increasing productivity and enabling advanced business intelligence. This is a bold statement, yet completely realistic, achievable and provable. The Unified Architecture is a modular framework that simply removes single points of failure while greatly enhancing business continuity, scalability, agility, mobility and manageability.
