Turn-key. Professionally-Managed and Executed.

Assessment

In most cases, VeriStor can provide initial requirements analysis and design recommendations free of charge. For larger or more long-term planning engagements, or for engagements where detailed infrastructure utilization reports are requested, VeriStor can perform full Storage and Server Infrastructure Assessments. These professional manages projects capture general and specific customer-requested data on storage and or server infrastructure capacity & utilization and trends. These reports can then be used for long-term planning, project justification, and project Return-on-Investment calculations.

Solution Design

Solution Design is most often a part of VeriStor's Solution Recommendations and is based upon a mix of VeriStor-certified hardware and software components, existing customer infrastructure, and an appropriate mix of VeriStor and Manufacturer Vendor Partner Professional Services and Support.

In cases where a vendor-agnostic, high-level architecture is required, VeriStor can also provide design services on a contract basis. These design services can assist in the development of phased strategic infrastructure plans as well as the crafting of RFI/RFP documents that effectively cover the requirements of the business and incorporate the latest industry technology capabilities and trends.

Implementation & Training

VeriStor provides full Implementation & Traing Services for all of the products and solutions we recommend. Based upon the mix of hardware and software components, the implementations are provided through a mix of certified VeriStor and vendor partner staff. All implementations are project-managed by VeriStor staff to meet customer expectations on time-lines and required resources.

Data Migration

While some Storage and Server Virtualization projects are new initiatives with data migration services required, most are the replacement or augmentation of existing systems. In these cases, secure, dependable and efficient data migration is one of the most critical aspects of the project. VeriStor provides custom Data Migration Professional Services Engagements based upon the customer's mix of application data sets and application/server-specific maintenance window requirements. As opposed to a 'One Product or Strategy to Migrate Everything', VeriStor performs an analysis of the migration data sets and works with the customer to define a set of migration processes that meet the specific requirements. Just as in designing the storage infrastructure itself, no one product or tool is the answer to everything. VeriStor maintains proficiency and a wide range of migration tools including SAN Fabric-based Mirroring, Host-based Volume and File Migration, and Physical-to-Virtual (P2V) and Virtual-to-Virtual (V2V) applications and methods.
