Data Center
With the increasing customer need to centralize IT operations and hardware, and where it stores, manages and disseminates data, data center expertise has become a key focus for Mentat Partners. With our strategic relationship with many data center providers and in-depth knowledge of each data center’s strengths and weaknesses, we guide your placements of workloads and data into the best data center for your needs, not their pocket books.
Managed Hosting
Managed hosting is an IT provisioning model in which a service provider leases dedicated servers and associated hardware to a single customer and manages those systems on the customer’s behalf. In managed hosting, customers can rent equipment such as dedicated server, storage and network hardware, operating systems, and system software. Managed hosting offers the strategic benefits of IaaS, cost reduction and of moving on-premises IT infrastructure, systems and applications to the cloud. Its enhanced security and protected environment make managed hosting a logical choice for companies regulated by PCI DSS, Sarbanes Oxley (SOC I and II), HIPAA and FISMA.
Private/Public Cloud
Mentat Partners continues this legacy at a time when business leaders need an unprecedented level of guidance. Everybody is looking to the cloud, but with so many new service providers in the emerging market, it can be incredibly difficult to identify a cohesive cloud solution strategy. Mentat Partners provides access to a variety of cloud providers who are able to meet the customer’s need for unified and reliable solutions.
Disaster Recovery, Backup & Business Continuity
Mentat Partners believes a Business Impact Analysis (BIA) can provide the insights necessary to ensure our clients are making the best business continuity plans for their business. The BIA is a tool used to fully comprehend the true business effects of a major outage of core mission critical systems. They can range from fairly straightforward to incredibly in-depth documents that cover the financial impact of everything from lost man hours to lost revenue to negative brand impact. The BIA is designed to provide a structured set of data points to help understand the true cost of a disaster, and ultimately assist with the budgeting and planning process of implementing a disaster recovery and business continuity plan.
Migrations
Migrating physical infrastructure, virtual applications and workloads has become easier over the past few years, and yet it remains extremely complex and costly. Thankfully, we have specialists with decades of experience working with hundreds of clients to successfully project manage and execute these migrations.
ITaaS
Mentat Partner provides specialized cloud expertise and can deliver best-in-class IT cloud solutions. We offer a variety of custom hosting and cloud solutions, including cloud strategy, IaaS, DRaaS, DaaS, backup and logical migration. Our strategic and tactical involvement will save you and your business time and money.
SD-WAN
With the shift away from expensive, fixed-circuit and hardware installations, and the demand for more flexible and secure, cloud-based networks, SD-WAN solutions are on the rise and should be a consideration for every network solution. Mentat Partner’s portfolio has a variety of SD-WAN approaches that remove potentially expensive routing hardware by provisioning connectivity and services through the cloud.
Security
Mentat Partners provides access to security services that form the building blocks your business needs for unified and reliable solutions. A critical first step for any organization developing its security strategy is a comprehensive security and risk assessment that covers a wide range of compliance frameworks and security threat vectors. Any true assessment methodology should include executing a gap analysis to identify critical lapse in your information security architecture resulting in a roadmap to achieve compliance. We consider the internal people, processes, information systems along with any third-party service providers that support and deliver IT services to your organization. Primary focus areas are, but are not limited to, HIPAA, PCI DSS, Sarbanes Oxley and SOC I & II.
DevOps
Every Mentat Partner has read the book, The Phoenix Project, a book encapsulating a large enterprise’s evolution from legacy application development into the new era. The delivery roadmap of applications has made an incredible shift from large-scale/project-based implementations to a continuous delivery model. This possibility was only made available by the creation of DevOps. DevOps is a model that brings business, development and operations teams together to implement automated processes to streamline deliveries.
