Our Process and our People build success!
| Select a project manager |
We can manage the planning of your project or execute your plan using our engineers.
Moving a data center is a complicated undertaking, requiring SMS engineers, as well as your staff. Having an experienced and specialized project manager to lead your move is the surest way to reduce the risk. |
|
Determine present method of operation |
Our process begins with a deep dive into your existing environment.
This review is the starting point of the project. SMS reviews the servers, applications, infrastructure, storage and interactions of them all to make sure we have identified the current environment completely. We also review service level agreements, warranties and your processes, to ensure that we understand the environment you must support. This environment is fully documented and approved by you before we move forward. |
|
Determine desired future state |
We define the conditions of success. This includes any changes you plan on making during the move, such as virtualization or technology upgrades or changes to processes or service level agreements. We document this environment to make sure that we have captured your needs completely. |
| Design process |
We build a roadmap to get from the current state to the future state.
We define the events that need to take place: software licenses required, hardware purchases, cable plans, and network changes, in order to create the future state. If your strategy for moving requires swing equipment or a net new investment, this will be documented. This process allows us help you adjust your project budget to reflect what is really needed to move the data center. All of this information is documented in a design plan and approved by you before we proceed. |
| Develop implementation plan |
We put a schedule together that defines the responsible party, prerequisites, timeframes and resources needed to complete them.
Once that plan is approved, we move to the plan execution phase of the project. |
