Mainline offers comprehensive technology solutions encompassing server, storage, software, application solutions, services, and financing. The company has been a partner with Red Hat for a long time and thoroughly trusts in the organizations’ ability to deliver the best of breed solutions. As the IT infrastructure gets more complex and technologies such as cloud and virtualization get integrated with legacy systems, it is only natural that inefficient infrastructures struggle to support market shifts. By tending to these data center optimization challenges head-on, one can guarantee that the frameworks runs at peak performance and, in turn, has the capacity to relieve or postpone huge IT foundation overhauls. “Customers face difficulty while choosing a perfect solution. In an open and scalable fashion, Red Hat gives the ability to deliver on many different hybrid clouds solutions using standard software from open stack,” adds Dobbelaere.
On the other hand, the Mainline end-to-end IT Services Delivery Model is helping the company to establish itself as a solution provider and value added reseller, providing the customers with the best service. The company keenly follows four-step process for their delivery model - assess, procure, implement, and manage. “We help in advising, strategizing and technically evaluating a client’s line-of-business objectives, then implementing the appropriate solution and making sure to remotely support and administer the same keeping in mind that we develop the solution to get the client from one point to another,” delineates Troy Webb, Strategic Alliance Director, Mainline.
One Mainline’s clients had a very complex data retention requirement based on regulatory compliance and were using solution upfront with on premises storage and management, which resulted in a lot of investment. Mainline came with a cloud object storage provider to move the data, providing better redundancy and replication between data center and the cloud provider, they moved from a capex to opex model. As a result, the customer only needed to focus on the business requirements and leverage the data for the growth of the organization.
Owing to their partnership with Red Hat, Mainline makes it a mission to update their technical team on the latest product offering from Red Hat as well as all other partners. The company also takes time to understand each individual’s business objectives, exploring the existing infrastructure, client pain points and expectations as well as focusing on the processes underpinning the organization.
