Software in the Enterprise: System, Application and Network Layers
Enterprise IT runs three layers of software: the system layer (operating systems, hypervisors, databases), the application layer (ERP, OA, CRM), and the network layer (SD-WAN, controllers, security gateways). Projects fail most often at the seams between layers - which is why we work across all three.
Key Capabilities
- System layer - OS and virtualization platforms that host business systems.
- Application layer - the ERP, OA and industry applications your users actually touch.
- Network layer - SD-WAN, SDN controllers and gateways that connect everything.
- Integration - how application performance depends on network design (and vice versa).
- Operations - monitoring across layers so incidents are found quickly.
Typical Use
When a customer reports "the ERP is slow", the cause might be the database, the virtualization host or the WAN link. Our engineers are trained to isolate the layer first, then fix the right component - avoiding months of misdirected upgrades.
