Data Center & Networking in Qatar

Neuron Technologies delivers data center solutions in Qatar end to end, from the server room itself through to the storage, backup and networks running inside it. We are a Government Classified company based in Doha, building and supporting data centre and enterprise storage infrastructure for commercial, enterprise, industrial and government clients across Qatar.

Data Centre and Server Room Build

Neuron assists clients in building and managing data centres, covering design, deployment and optimisation of the room as well as the equipment inside it. A server room in Qatar has to hold its temperature and its power before anything else matters, so capacity is planned around the workload rather than the floor space available. We plan, manage and automate the physical and virtual compute infrastructure together, which means the racks, the power and the machines are sized against the same set of numbers. Because the same company also delivers the CCTV and access control, electrical systems and IT hardware in the building, the room can be secured and powered by one contractor instead of three.

Backup and Disaster Recovery

Every design starts with adequate backup, because the point of a backup strategy is that nobody has to think about it until the day it is needed. We build data backup solutions around the workflow and technology already in place at each site, and size them against forecast growth so the design lasts rather than needing reinvestment every couple of years. When something does fail, layered recovery methods are applied to the specific case to bring the business back up. A backup strategy and a working failover path are what stand between a hardware failure and a real loss of data.

Data Management

Storage costs have fallen and processing power has risen, so most organisations now keep far more data than they have a way of using. We build the storage and management layer that turns that into something workable, from legacy systems through to current analytics workloads, delivered across the platforms already in use. Data management is where enterprise storage in Qatar stops being a hardware question and starts being a design question about who needs which data, how fast, and for how long it has to be kept.

Cloud Solutions and Virtualisation

Businesses move to cloud to run more efficiently, and then discover the complication is not the cloud but the applications already running. Neuron simplifies and consolidates multi cloud and multi application environments, delivering enterprise level storage capacity suited to modern data lakes and containerised workloads. Cloud and virtualisation are integrated with what stays on site rather than replacing it, so you can decide what belongs in the server room and what belongs off premise on cost and performance rather than on guesswork.

Enterprise Storage: SAN and NAS

A Storage Area Network is a high speed network connecting servers and storage devices to improve how data is accessed, moved and managed. Our SAN deployments create multiple paths to all data, so the failure of one server never removes access to critical information, and they support high availability, disaster recovery, data sharing, reliable backup and restoration, centralised administration and remote support. Network Attached Storage sits alongside it: a SAN is a group of storage devices, a NAS is a single one, connected over standard ethernet and used where files need to be reached by multiple users and backed up quickly to mirrored local disks rather than across the network.

Software Defined Storage

Software defined storage controls storage through a software layer separated from the physical devices, in contrast to the hardware centric approach of SAN and NAS. That separation is what makes storage pooling and automated storage management possible, and it is where deduplication, replication, thin provisioning, snapshots and backup policies are handled. SDS has become popular for three reasons: data is increasingly unstructured, customers want data virtualisation, and demand for cloud storage keeps rising. It works alongside existing storage as well as the cloud, so it is an addition rather than a replacement.

Networking Into the Data Centre

A data centre is only as useful as the network into it. As one of the networking companies in Qatar that also builds the room the network sits in, Neuron ties the build to certified structured cabling and to the switching, routing and wireless covered on our ICT page, and supplies the servers, switches and storage hardware through our IT hardware page. Delivered together, data center solutions in Qatar avoid the gaps that show up when the room, the storage and the network are bought from three separate vendors and each one assumes the other two have it covered.

Storage and Virtualisation Brands

The platforms behind this work come from the manufacturers shown on this page. Enterprise storage comes from IBM and NetApp, virtualisation from VMware and Parallels, backup and replication from Veeam, and the networking layer from Cisco. Working across several platforms means data center solutions in Qatar can be designed around the workload rather than around one vendor, and can extend the storage a client already owns instead of insisting it is replaced.
