InteliCloud has designed the true next-generation data center (NGDC) that ISPs want – one that features installation and management simplicity coupled with unprecedented performance and cost savings.

To develop our data-center-in-a-box soution, the InteliCloud 360, we engineered six distinct intellectual properties (IPs) and several patentable hardware and software technologies in the areas of energy saving, management system and chassis design for optimum throughput and functionality.

In the broader field of telecommunications, the description of "next-generation data center", should actually be broken into two segments:

    1. A common foundational platform from which to originate ALL services originate, and
    2. The transport for ALL services.

Logical progression then follows that next-generation data centers are for all customers (residential, SMB, enterprise) and all services (voice, video, data) with guaranteed security, QoS, isolation, etc. Compare this to the existing infrastructures where each service and class of customer has its own independent platform. So while the transport network may be next generation, the platform equipment that originates these services within the datacenter is anything but.

Introducing the InteliCloud 360
The InteliCloud 360 architecture features a unique patent-pending blade frame input/output structure that removes the 1:1 relationship between services and hardware, enabling all the hardware in the datacenter to be available for all services. By virtualizing the network and storage interfaces, an application can move without interruption from blade to blade and chassis to chassis throughout the data center.

Once the hardware is removed as a bottleneck, service providers can “stack” telephone service, videos, music, cellular service, in a single data center, saving more than 50 percent of hardware costs by eliminating idle redundant equipment.

With its patent-pending architecture, the InteliCloud 360 can meet the infrastructure, speed and bandwidth needs our customers are requiring from their Internet service, telecommunications, cable, satellite, online gaming, and wireless and entertainment providers while addressing power consumption, real estate footprint and management issues.

With the InteliCloud next-generation data center platform, service providers can serve three (3) times the customers using 60% less power and space – that is a holistic and powerful solution for most any sized data center ecosystem, and you need look no further than recent headlines on the state of the economy to be reminded that the time to rethink NGDC has come.
