Why have an IT Infrastructure Review?
Many businesses have IT systems that have been initially designed, and then grown organically as business volumes increase, or new products and services are provided. This organic growth in the IT infrastructure often leads to convoluted networks, servers initially purchased for a specific task utilised for multiple purposes over time, a plethora of storage devices in use (SAN, NAS, etc...), databases that are redundant but still being treated as operational, etc....
We will perform health checks on your main infrastructure or any satellite office that may not be directly supported by your main IT resources and provide roadmaps and recommendations that will lead to improved services for your business. In our experience, a better streamlined set of infrastructure services will result in annual cost savings and are usually self-funding with a very short ROI.
What is involved in an Infrastructure Review?
One of our consultants will visit your main site for a day to undertake a 'discovery' of your infrastructure environment - network, servers, storage, databases. We will then produce a high level report of your existing infrastructure highlighting any areas for concern and recommendations for improvements.
This initial consultation can then be followed up by more in-depth reviews concentrating on specific areas highlighted in the base report.
What are the benefits?
