Information Technology has been in the rise for more than two decades (as I consider the start of my IT career in 1997) but its pinnacle is far from what the industry has achieved so far today. Looking back at its radical evolution, one may have difficulty catching up if you’re not part of such historic rise unless you network with IT practitioners that have been successfully cemented their space in the industry as an individual or as an organization in general.
Macrologic strategy comes along with the IT evolution though its focus of expertise has not changed but rather just continue to evolve. With the server technology to start its endeavor, the company has dynamically adapted every era of innovation helping customers effectively deploy and maximize the use of their IT assets to achieve cost efficiency and earlier return of investment. From the stand-alone Server Client computing, to the hype of Blade Server and SAN Storage consolidation, and from the basic Server Virtualization to the so called Software Defined Data Center, Macrologic’s adaptive business measures and initiatives are clearly the foundation for its continuous success which is widely recognized in the market nowadays.
While the thing called “cloud” is fast defining the landscape of the IT industry, Macrologic quickly responds by launching MIaaS Data Center in the last quarter of the Y2019. MIaaS or Macrologic Infrastructure as a Service is the very own cloud services offering of Macrologic with a long term plan of expansion ahead. MIaaS, located in Macrologic Corporate Centre in the City of Bacoor, Cavite is built to comply with the Data Center Standards and guidelines provided by EPI, a Singapore based company doing Data Center audit and certification.
With MIaaS in place, local companies now have the option to easily adapt with the cloud computing, breaking the barriers of internet connectivity issues when they subscribe to cloud services from providers abroad. MIaaS is powered by MamaaS (Macrologic Management as a Service) that’s a combination of software tool suite and professional services from Macrologic pool of Certified Engineers for the various brands and technologies for network, security, virtualization, servers and storage. MIaaS portfolio is composed of Virtual and Storage Compute, Software as a Service, Back-up as a Service, Disaster Recovery as a Service and co-location services. It’s architected to easily adapt with the customer business environment and any imposed network access and security policy. A facility designed to address high availability from power back-up, precision air-con, high speed network and internet connectivity.
“Our dream to lead the IT industry by putting the technology itself in the forefront of our business is now becoming a reality. Year on year, significant changes are happening in Macrologic nothing but to improve the products and services we offer to our valued customers. While the competing technology brands are somewhat the same in features and solutions, the way we offer it is different. MIaaS and MamaaS is just another leap. It’s not the first in the industry but how we architect it, the way we deliver and support the cloud services is totally a new customer experience. Our vision simply sees the future, our dreams live with it and our ideas would always become a reality.”
