Many organizations want to adopt more up-to-date, cost-effective and secure storage solutions but lack the in-house expertise and resources to plan and execute successful upgrades and migrations.

We bring the skills and experience you need, providing end-to-end solutions: from assessing your current infrastructure and requirements to executing the changes required to optimize storage performance, drive down costs, and maintain supportability.

With deep experience in storage technologies, we apply a proven methodology, tested in multiple successful projects across diverse hardware and software. This experience combines with strong working relationships with vendors, providing deep technical expertise you can leverage for more efficient migrations. Beyond storage, we have completed multiple migration projects in many other fields, underlining our ability to tackle complex multi-faceted migrations.

We provide a four-phased approach.

Consultancy: we work with your people and external vendors as needed to gather detailed requirements, then conduct a thorough analysis. This provides strategic guidance on the optimal approaches for migration, and ensures your solution aligns with your objectives and reflects technical constraints.

Costing: based on the insights gained, we develop Rough Order of Magnitude (ROM) documentation. This includes estimated costs, resource allocation, and projected timelines for the migration, giving you a clear understanding of the project’s financial and logistical scope.

Design & Planning: we carry out a comprehensive assessment of the current environment and infrastructure, and work with you to create a detailed design of the existing and target systems. We outline the migration process, define technical requirements, and establish a thorough step-by-step plan with milestones, timelines, and resource allocation.

Migration: in the final phase, we execute the migration process either onsite or remotely, depending on your set-up and requirements, deploying necessary tools or developing custom processes for specific needs. Our team ensures a smooth transition, addressing any challenges that arise during and after migration to minimize downtime and ensure systems integrity.
