What is an SLA?

By The Evocative Team on February 28, 2024

A Service Level Agreement (SLA) is a contractual agreement between a service provider and a customer that outlines the expected level of service. It goes beyond a mere handshake or verbal agreement, solidifying expectations into measurable and agreed-upon metrics. The SLA is the DNA of any IT service contract, encoding the expectations, responsibilities, and guarantees […]

What Is Data Center Architecture?

By The Evocative Team on January 19, 2024

Data center architecture is the design and physical layout of a data center. It details how to construct, configure, and manage all a data center’s computing components, such as servers, storage devices, networking equipment, and the facility’s capabilities, such as power supply, cooling, and security. There is a wide range of approaches to data center […]

What Is Data Center Management?

By The Evocative Team on January 19, 2024

Data Center Management is the practice of planning, monitoring, and controlling data center resources and operations to ensure efficient, secure, and reliable operation. It encompasses server provisioning, hardware maintenance, cooling, power management, security, and disaster recovery planning. There are three ways to manage data centers: fully self-managed, colocation, and fully managed. Why Is Data Center […]

What Is Data Center Migration?

By The Evocative Team on January 19, 2024

Data center migration is the process of moving an organization’s data, systems, processes, and IT infrastructure from one physical location to another environment, typically to a different data center or a virtualized or cloud environment. Data center migration is a complex and resource-intensive endeavor that requires careful planning, project management, and execution to minimize service […]

What Is N+1 Redundancy?

By The Evocative Team on January 19, 2024

N+1 redundancy is a form of resilience that ensures system availability in the event of component failure. This method of resilience is used by critical technology systems such as data centers to ensure continued operations. In an N+1 redundancy setup, "N" represents the minimum number of components (e.g., servers, uninterruptible power supply (UPS), cooling units, […]
