Enterprise Server Support for Boston-Area Businesses

What does enterprise server support cover?

Enterprise server support covers the hardware and systems your whole office depends on: the servers, the storage that holds your files and databases, the network between them, and the plan for replacing all of it before it ages out.

Systems Analysis builds and supports enterprise and AI-powered datacenters using HPE and IBM technology. In practice, that work includes:

• HPE servers: deployment, firmware and patching, health monitoring and upgrades through our HPE server support.
• Repair and upkeep: diagnosing failing drives, power supplies and memory with server repair and maintenance.
• Storage: NAS and SAN for shared files, plus IBM FlashSystem as an authorized IBM reseller.
• Virtualization: consolidating several aging servers onto fewer, better-managed hosts.
• Hybrid cloud: extending on-site servers into Microsoft Azure, AWS or a private cloud.
• Lifecycle planning: sourcing, installation, migration and a refresh schedule you can budget for.

Do you still support IBM i, AS/400 and Db2 systems?

Yes. Beyond servers and storage, we support the IBM systems many New England businesses still run on, and our IBM & legacy systems services go into each one in detail.

Whether you run IBM i, AS/400 or a hybrid environment, the goal is to modernize without disruption. We update, migrate or integrate your IBM environment without losing business continuity, connect ERP, CRM and custom applications, extend IBM infrastructure into Azure, AWS or private clouds, and optimize Db2, WebSphere and related stacks.

IBM i and AS/400 Modernization

We update, migrate and integrate IBM i and AS/400 environments, adding modern interfaces, secure connectivity and cloud integration while keeping the system your business relies on. See IBM i modernization and AS/400 support.

Enterprise Application Integration

We connect ERP, CRM and custom applications so data flows between them and nobody types the same invoice twice. See ERP integration.

Hybrid Cloud Solutions

We extend IBM infrastructure into Microsoft Azure, AWS or a private cloud so each workload runs where it performs best, without giving up control. See IBM i hybrid cloud.

Database & Middleware Support

We support and tune Db2, WebSphere and related middleware for performance, stability and security across your business applications. See Db2 and WebSphere support.

For older line-of-business software, see legacy application migration and IBM FlashSystem storage for data that needs enterprise-grade protection.

Who do we build and support infrastructure for?

We work with Greater Boston organizations that cannot afford downtime or data loss: law firms, accounting practices, real estate brokerages, healthcare providers, schools and regional nonprofits.

Our clients range from about 10 to more than 200 endpoints. Many have one or two servers in a closet; others run a dedicated server room. We have supported hospitals, schools and nonprofits across the region for decades, and our industries we serve page explains what each sector tends to need.

More businesses now want AI running on their own hardware. Because we build AI-powered datacenters on HPE and IBM technology, we can plan on-premise AI infrastructure alongside the rest of your servers.

How does an infrastructure project work with us?

Every project starts with a look at what you have today, then a plan in plain language before anything is bought or moved.

• Site survey: an engineer reviews your servers, storage and backups, network and security configuration, lifecycle status, and power and cooling.
• Plan: what we found, what to fix first and what can wait, with vendor-neutral product recommendations.
• Sourcing and installation: we procure, configure and install the hardware.
• Migration: data and workloads move on a schedule built around your business.
• Ongoing care: monitoring, patching, health checks and documentation of every device and license.

Our approach is vendor-neutral. We match the right products to your environment, whether that means a virtualized server, new business storage or a planned server and hardware refresh.

Why use a local Newton team for your servers?

Servers, storage and switches are physical equipment, and many problems are faster to solve with someone standing in front of the rack.

Systems Analysis has been based in Newton since 1978 and has supported Boston-area businesses through every wave of technology, from minicomputers to hybrid cloud and AI. Our on-site engineers handle projects and scheduled maintenance, and you talk to people who know your setup.

Infrastructure also connects to the rest of your IT. Many clients pair it with IT support services and cybersecurity services. Wondering whether your equipment is due? Read the hidden cost of outdated hardware.
