IT Optimization

Red River differs from typical IT solution providers; those who care more about selling new products than about doing what's best for customers.  Almost anybody can sell IT hardware.  It takes a bit more effort and expertise to know when new assets are not needed.

Consolidation:  A major segment of IT Optimization is consolidation, a term that can refer to a number of size-reduction and efficiency-enhancing practices in both the hardware and software environments.  Red River can maximize the use of floor space in data centers, perhaps consolidating two inefficiently-designed rooms into one.  We also offer expert consolidation of applications, databases and storage.

Virtualization:  Recent years have brought major advances in virtualization technology, making it a reliable and secure method of hardware reduction.  Organizations can find improved systems management, faster provisioning of vital programs and realize significant cost saving by implementing virtual or abstract version of applications, systems, desktops and operating systems.

VoIP:  Red River's expertise in VoIP technology can yield huge benefits to customers ready to break free from the confines of legacy analog telephony.  Our Engineers are proficient in full-fledged migrations from outdated TDM-based telephony systems to modern Internet Protocol-based, unified communications platforms.

Storage:  Whether it's through tiered, access centric, cost centric or capacity centric installations, storage optimization is one of Red River's core capabilities.  We're adept at analyzing existing storage environments and finding ways to increase their performance, efficiency and reliability.

Servers:  Red River will analyze your server environment and find the best routes to optimization.  Typically, servers are operating at less than a quarter of their capacity; so server consolidation and virtualization are usually worthwhile endeavors.  We address server throughput and other performance characteristics and will recommend measures to improve system speed, capacity, security and reliability.

Desktops:  Desktop optimization can improve worker performance, increase network security and significantly reduce total cost of operation.  Red River never approaches desktop optimization as a "one size fits all" endeavor.  We know that some work scenarios do not lend themselves to centralized, thin-client-based designs are we are proficient at optimizing desktop PCs when necessary.

Wireless:  After completing top-to-bottom site survey of your wireless infrastructure, Red River can optimize existing networks so they meet or exceed the performance of typical wired installations.  Red River-optimized wireless networks provide highly-secure and reliably stable mobile connectivity free of zones with weak or non-existent signal strength.

Network:  Red River optimization will result in a more robust, secure, streamlined and scalable network composed of highly interoperable components.  Aside from performance improvement optimization can include enhancements to the management and administration aspects of your organization's network.

Unified Communications:  By staying in tune with the rapidly-changing technology in the Unified Communications realm, Red River can dramatically improve your telephony and messaging systems.  We will provide new - or enhance your existing - voice, video, SMS, email and cellular functions to enable anywhere/anytime interaction and "presence" information.
