Infrastructure Consolidation
Infrastructure Consolidation
Overview

Businesses are purchasing more hardware and software to support exponential data growth and spending an increasing percentage of their IT budgets on infrastructure investments. The result is that facilities are being overburdened and rapidly outgrown.

EMC offers an information-centered approach to streamlining your information infrastructure. We can consolidate and relocate your data centers, and enable you to realize cost, energy, and service delivery benefits. Let EMC help you satisfy your IT and corporate objectives and optimize the infrastructure powering your business.

The complexity of consolidating or relocating data centers can significantly impact service levels and IT operational costs. Relocation affects every IT asset—servers, storage, applications and the network that supports them. Comprehensive planning is critical to minimizing business disruption.

EMC Consulting leverages its infrastructure expertise to optimize the relocation process. We consider application and infrastructure interdependencies to establish phased migration groups, based on the business criticality of particular applications and systems. Our consultants ensure that business priorities remain aligned with IT service-level requirements throughout the move.
