It delivers quick-turn unmanaged and fully managed server environments up to the operating system layer that includes both physical and virtual, storage management and application operations up to database, SAP Basis and MS Exchange services. It provides predefined and standardised infrastructure optimised for target applications. Applications can be up and running in fewer than 90 days - with additional processing, storage capacity, operating system, database, Exchange and SAP instances provisioned in as little as a few days.
