Data Center Server Planning & Feasibility Consulting Services

Leveraging our proven consultative process, PTS provides Data Center Server Planning & Feasibility Consulting Services for single site and enterprise level clientele. The service includes four key components: needs analyses for deployment of new server techniques and technology; site surveys of current server infrastructure equipment within the enterprise (if needed); assessments of servers, server virtualization, discrete, rack, and blade server architectures including consideration of various manufacturer architectures and key decision criteria; and, planning to provide technology roadmaps, budget, and timelines for future design and deployment of server infrastructure.

Businesses implementing PTS recommended server deployment, server virtualization, and server consolidation strategies experience improved network performance, reduced footprint, faster application and service delivery, fuller IT management automation, and higher levels of business continuity.

The goal of PTS Server Consulting is to leverage the proven PTS data center project process in terms of Needs Analysis, Site Surveys, Assessment, and Planning & Feasibility studies.

Outcomes of this consulting program lead to:

• Targeted Server Consolidation & Optimization.
  Consolidation may include optimization of applications from multiple physical servers to virtualized servers, and more complete use of server processing power through server virtualization or restructuring of applications and data across the enterprise server infrastructure.
  
  
• Server Design Based Upon Requirements
  There are numerous performance levels to consider when preparing to deploy a server, multiple servers, or a server farm. PTS focuses upon the key design criteria and performs an objective, vendor agnostic, review of client requirements. This allows us to develop a strategic set of technical requirements to make decisions regarding form factor, performance level, RAID design, operating system, and various other design requirements.
  
  
• Server Migration Strategies
  Migrating to a blade server design includes a variety of technical and financial decisions. Our programs drive objective analyses of the pros and cons associated with a migration strategy. Beyond the financial cost benefits, there must be consideration for disaster recovery, business continuity, application requirements (i.e. some applications require large amounts of onboard storage expansion, not necessarily an ideal blade architectural benefit).
  
  
• Support Infrastructure Requirements for Proper Server Deployment
  Beyond the physical server design there are supporting hardware, software, and operational requirements to consider such as Uninterruptible Power Supply, redundant network interfaces, redundant bus structures, and back-up approaches. PTS considers these ancillary design requirements during the Server Consulting program to make certain the complete design will meet client requirements for reliability and up-time.
