The health of your IT infrastructure is everything. If your data center or network doesn’t thrive, neither will your business.
It’s tough enough to ensure that your business is supported around the clock, attracting the right people, upgrading technology,
and ensuring disaster recovery and security can quickly tie up your resources, leaving less time and money to focus on competitive
initiatives.
Our Infrastructure Services include:
- System Administration (Unix, Linux, Windows, Solaris, etc)
- Network Engineering (VPN, LAN, WAN, etc)
- Database Administration (Oracle, DB2, SQL Server, etc)
Data Concepts can help you rein in the escalating costs of maintaining and managing your IT infrastructure. And we make sure your
systems stay in good shape at the same time.
We have been providing clients with end-to-end infrastructure services for more than 8 years. We can design, deploy, and run all
aspects of an enterprise’s infrastructure. Through our Network Operations Center located in India, we help clients selectively send
components of their infrastructure services offshore for greater savings, 24x7x365 support, and unmatched reliability.
Planning and Provisioning
Proper planning and provisioning for IT services provides many key business value benefits, including the very practical matter of
providing services that meet performance and scaling expectations once they are launched. A regimented process for preparing critical
services for production saves time and money down the road, and ensures successful application roll-outs.
Planning and provisioning include these business benefits:
- Accurate provisioning, avoiding wasteful and expensive over-provisioning
- Stacking applications, making better use of existing IT resources
- Reducing outages and slowdowns, ensuring service-level objectives are met under varying conditions
- Aligning IT with business objectives, prioritizing IT services by criticality
- Avoiding crises and firefighting, proactively planning for peaks in demand
Capacity Planning Techniques for Planning and Provisioning
The judicious use of
capacity planning techniques to plan and provision services can help prevent performance fires after
services are launched, freeing human resources that would otherwise be spent troubleshooting. Capacity planning also identifies optimal
hardware requirements and ensures service-level objectives can be met under peak demands.
Capacity planning techniques can be used for:
- Pre-deployment scalability testing
- Predicting service performance under varying demands
- Identifying optimal hardware configurations to support services
- Controlling costs through accurate provisioning
Capacity planning techniques include trending, simulation modeling and analytical modeling. Each technique is useful in different situations.
We recommend using our Analytical modeling methods for planning and provisioning services.
