Data Centre Architectural Principles

A consulting engagement, developing, documenting and communicating a Storage Strategy concisely and effectively to ensure progression to the customer's vision.

Architectural Principles become the 'guiding lights' influencing all storage and data related decisions.

Medium to Large organisations:

• Without a Data Management or Storage Strategy
• Unsure of how to develop their storage infrastructure and processes
• About to procure new storage infrastructure
• Embarking on major change, such as Data Centre move, migrations, technology refresh

This engagement directly addresses common pain points and issues such as:

• Lack of IT and Business alignment in storage management
• Business case justification for storage procurement needs a supporting strategic vision
• Data currently stored on inappropriate 'tier' of storage
• Need to ensure application criticality is aligned to storage infrastructure

IT and business collaboration ensures a strategy is developed which all buy into and strategic and tactical storage decisions are subsequently made in this predictable context
