Liquid Computing's LiquidIQ solution offers customers significant benefits by helping reduce costs and easing the IT management complexity in the data center.
Lower Total Cost of Ownership
Data center operators understand that the costs of the hardware and software only account for a fraction of the overall expense in running a complex IT system. The most significant costs are associated with the ongoing operational support to maintain the data center and the skilled resources necessary to keep everything running. Liquid Computing understands this challenge and has designed its system from the ground up to save up to 60% on the total cost of ownership. LiquidIQ delivers true convergence of computing and communications and our management software automatically handles the complexity associated with underlying physical and networking resources transparent to the applications. This allows LiquidIQ to deliver significant savings in operation and acquisition costs compared to existing data center operational models. Our total cost of ownership benefits include:
- 45% reduction in hardware/software infrastructure costs
- 90% reduction in annual operating expenses (admin, space, power)
- 85% reduction in floor space requirements
- 90% reduction in cabling complexity and cost
Ease of Management
IT applications are dependent on the computing and networking capabilities of the data center. Typical data center operations de-couple the computing and networking functions which adds cost and complexity, while making the data center inflexible. LiquidIQ's rapid provisioning and reconfiguration features solve these problems by providing pools of standard servers and Ethernet switches that are presented as logical elements to the administrator. These blocks can be assembled in real time to deliver the complete infrastructure to support any application. LiquidIQ makes managing the data center easy and our solution provides:
- Dynamic re-allocation of hardware resources without server rebuilds, recabling or switch reconfigurations
- Automatic deployment and redeployment of hardware resources
- Allows applications to be scaled to take advantage of more computing resources
- Remote management of all LiquidIQ systems from a central location
- 10:1 operational management expense reduction
