Services
Because of the pandemic, Data Center Managers have not been able to upgrade their infrastructure. Now many of these systems have become what the OEM vendors call end of service life (EOSL). We can provide a comprehensive inventory service to determine what is installed, and itemize all EOSL equipment and all equipment that may become EOSL shortly. We can also provide granular details on performance, capacity and other metrics to determine which equipment needs to be refreshed first, and how much equipment is needed to replace what is there with some room for expansion.
When we replace legacy equipment with newer equipment, migration services are typically required. Some of these migrations include heterogeneous storage migrations. These can be cumbersome and often very difficult. We have a team of professional services partners that have years of expertise in this field that can perform these migrations for a fraction of the cost of the OEM manufacturers
We provide maintenance services for equipment that is EOSL by the manufacturer. While legacy equipment is being refreshed there is a period of overlap where support services are needed on the older equipment, while the migrations are taking place. We can provide services for this critical transition phase on a wide variety of systems and manufacturers.
Are you tired of managing support contracts for both your hardware and software vendors. We have a better solution. Let us do it for you. We will work with your vendors to put this under one simple contract. This would save your agency time and money by just having one or two master contracts to take care of instead of having to look after 25-30 of these contracts. Most of our customers group these into two buckets, hardware and software. This service could potentially save your agency an enormous amount of time, money and aggravation.
For customers that prefer to modernize their Data Centers using a Managed Service model, we have a custom monthly service model that we tailor to your exact needs. This is not a one size fits all model like most providers. We go through a comprehensive list of questions to make sure that we are providing the exact model for your needs. This vendor agnostic monthly approach is unlike anything in the market today.
For customers that prefer to acquire technology in a more traditional manner, through a capital acquisition or lease, we provide equipment with comprehensive professional services and installation and set up services, so that the equipment is stood up in your Data Center and you are ready to go. Data Center Solutions resells technology and ready for use services for virtually every major manufacturer and sector of technology. Our firm has long term relationships with many major suppliers. We have creative trade-in programs and upgrade models that will save your agency millions of dollars on upgrades and technology refreshes. Our lower overhead also will keep your price down compared to our competition.
Technology Modernization Monthly Service
There has been so much hype relating to Managed Services and Infrastructure As A Service models over the past two years. Our value add to agencies is our ability to separate fact from fiction in this sector. We have over 20 years of experience providing unique models to Federal Government agencies. We will go over the Pros and Cons of each model with you to determine if this is the best approach for your agency. What makes our model unique is our ability to tailor it to your exact needs. This model may not be the right fit for every agency. With our upfront work and elaborate question and answer session, we can prevent agencies from going down this path if it is not right for them. After all, contracting a services model takes time. We want to make sure that if you are spending the time to contract this approach, then it is the right approach for your agency.
Our model is not a one-size-fits-all. We take you through an elaborate questionnaire to determine what type of model you need, and then we craft a monthly service around that. Most organizations have a take it or leave it approach that does not sit well with most customers. We feel there is no substitute for experience here, and we have plenty of it.
We also take you through every possible subject that could come up. Everything from technology to billing methodology is reviewed. Sure, the concept is simple, but the nuances of this approach are astronomical. After we spend a few hours with you discussing what provisions you will need, you can be assured that we have addressed everything. The last thing we want is to start the contract and then something comes up that was not previously discussed. I have seen that before, and it can be difficult. We feel the time spent working with you upfront is time well spent.
