Infrastructure Consolidation & Optimisation
Working with you to consolidate your storage and server infrastructure to increase efficiency, agility and cost savings.
Infrastructure management is typically expensive and labour-intensive, requiring the supporting and maintenance of countless servers and storage devices that in many cases have been initially deployed merely to support a single application or to simplify testing.
ACS is highly experienced in the assessment of application workloads across a wide range of physical infrastructure platforms and regards this as an essential foundation upon which to design and implement your consolidated infrastructure.
Our consolidation consultancy skills will help you to identify the areas of your estate best-suited for consolidation based on our enterprise experience, assisting in the planning, design and implementation of your project with access to tools that will calculate the likely financial savings you will achieve. ACS will also help to plan and build in disaster recovery improvements, which should naturally follow an infrastructure consolidation exercise.
Server and storage consolidation is carried out with proof of concept and migration from existing platforms with risk mitigation.
