Transition

Data Center Transitions move operational activities from one organization or business unit to another, typically to an outsourced, collocation or cloud computing environment. 

The Challenge

• You are about to finalize your latest merger and acquisition, but your current data center is at capacity.
• You’ve experienced steady business growth.  The existing data center has organically grown and supported your requirements -- until now.  You are near capacity.  Future business developments are stunted by your data center limitations.
• Your existing data center is obsolete.   It does not have adequate redundancies or power and cooling that supports today’s rack-based and blade systems.  But, your capital budget does not support an immediate build-out.    

The Solution

• Build a new data center
• Retrofit your existing data center
• Colocate, or
• A bridged solution  

The David-Kenneth Group Difference

In an uncertain business environment, balancing risk and reward is tough.  Where should you start?

• At David-Kenneth, we start with one simple question:  why?  The answers that frequently surface conflict.  We keep whittling away until your organization identifies the primary problem.  It is the best way to find the right solution and avoid the never-ending planning loop that wastes resources and time.
• Before we fork lift or virtualize anything, we help you set goals and priorities and use them to make choices and set limits.  They will be tested.
• Our Data Center Discovery process finds the missing 20%.  We can help you clearly and concisely identify and organize your space requirements into mission critical and non critical space needs. 
• We ask the hard questions.  Sometimes, the option to either stay or go is not the only viable solution.  We consider all options.  And depending on your circumstances, a bridged solution offers a stopgap measure that buys you time for planning and budgetary challenges.  Intentional, purposeful and experienced planning can lower your risks, stabilize operations, save money.

While we can’t offer a crystal ball that predicts your future, we can offer you our expertise.   We have been tested in the trenches.  Ask our clients.  They represent our most important difference.
