Technology

As a total solutions provider, DigiCompass delivers technologies designed to substantially reduce IT costs, provides more flexibility in vendor selection, and offers more intelligent and resilient system / application platforms capable of responding to your ever changing business demands.

DigiCompass has been making significant investment to the development and use of cutting edge information technology for its daily operations since 2007. Read on to learn how we operate our business.

Corporate Information Technology Infrastructure

Infrastructure is the foundation of information systems and applications. Many large corporations and government agencies have spent hundreds of millions of dollars to develop and implement their IT infrastructure standards and procedures. A robust and secure IT infrastructure is not only essential for a business's daily operations, but also impacts the business as it grows.

CITI is a set of architectural designs, implementation procedures, best practices documentation, and related administrative software. It has three portions - the Design, the Implementation, and the Software. The Design sets out the standards and the goals to be achieved based on the available hardware and software technologies. The Implementation describes the detailed procedures using specific hardware and software to implement the design. The Software helps user to automate the implementation by loading pre-defined implementation packages, setting up the configurations, and deploying the system / application automatically. Started in 2006, CITI was developed for the purpose of standardising and simplifying system deployment and application implementation with integration and automation in mind from the very beginning. The diagram below shows the systematical design when CITI was first implemented in the company.


As our business grows, CITI evolves to accommodate new requirements and needs. Today, it covers system / application design, deployment, implementation, management, and monitoring of three major areas of an IT infrastructure - network and server infrastructure, storage and server virtualization, platform and application integration.

The current version of CITI, i.e. v1.0, consists of Design 1.0, Implementation 2.0, and Software 1.0. Design 1.0 is scheduled to be released in Q4 2009. The Implementation version is 2.0 based on Enterasys's networking hardware, HP's server and storage hardware, DataCore's storage virtualization software, VMware's server virtualization software, and Microsoft's application platform for operating system, identity management, database, unified communication, collaboration, enterprise content and project management, business intelligence, application deployment and system management. CITI Implementation 2.0 is scheduled to be release in Q4 2009 as well. Both the Design and the Implementation will be available to the public as open source projects. A stripe down version of Implementation 2.0 using only open source software and freeware is scheduled to be released in Q2 2010. An extended version of Implementation 2.0 with support of more vendors is also planned for release in Q4 2010. The version 1.0 of the Software will be available in Q2 or Q3 of 2010.

We are currently rolling out the new CITI in our company. Please check out the links below for details.
