Description

Data Center Relocation and Consolidation Moving a data center has been compared to changing the engines on a jet while it is in flight. Business users demand high availability and minimal risk, even while their critical systems are being relocated and integrated into a new environment. MetaVista consultants have hands-on experience managing the complexities of data center consolidation projects, from initial planning through post-event decommissioning and cleanup. Let’s work together to make your next data center project a success. Technology Architecture Assessments IT organizations face two competing pressures from their stakeholders: the desire to optimize individual business solutions, often by implementing the latest technologies, and the desire to create and maintain a rational, “engineered” enterprise IT environment that promotes overall value by focusing on maintainability and long-term costs. Working with your technology architects, MetaVista can assist in assessing proposed new technologies to ensure alignment with current or proposed architecture standards and practices. Technology Planning and Assessments In the pressure to generate results, business and IT project teams may neglect the longer-term implications of proposed new technologies. MetaVista’s consultants can assist with technology planning by providing a broad assessment of total lifecycle costs, including staff training, integration of the new technology into the existing IT infrastructure, and ongoing support / maintenance considerations. Enterprise Architecture Many IT organizations have grown organically over many years, with growth sometimes coming in waves due to mergers and other factors. The resulting IT environment is redundant, poorly optimized, brittle, and costly. MetaVista can help you provide business value through improved product selection, product acquisition, high-level design, and technology lifecycle management processes. Hardware Planning Hardware planning in a data center environment involves many challenges. Considerations include tracking facilities capacity (power and cooling), maintaining accurate asset inventory records, and responding quickly to requests for new hardware while complying with architecture standards. From physical site planning through hardware acquisition support, MetaVista’s experienced consultants can help with your hardware planning challenges. IT Security Consulting Do you know who has access to sensitive information in your organization? Do you even know where this information is located? If not, you’re not alone. Many IT organizations have evolved complex, decentralized systems with limited documentation describing database contents, network connectivity, system or data recoverability, or processes to deal with security breaches. MetaVista’s trained and certified IT security consultants can help assess your risks and recommend solutions that match your unique needs. Server Consolidation The proliferation of physical servers in many organizations (server sprawl) in combination with recent advances in server virtualization technologies has created a compelling opportunity for savings.
