The data center landscape is nearing the end of its first major development since companies began building and leasing data center facilities. Many clients are investigating or migrating to “as a service” models, in which a third party manages and maintains the underlying facility and technology. The process for deciding what technology services are appropriate for migration to which model can be quite complex, and OnStream can help you in navigating to a successful outcome.
After decisions are made and products are chosen, an organization must migrate their present services to the new platform or platforms. Data center migrations to like hardware require detailed planning for the move, operating process changes, and financial practice updates. Data center evolutions to new models add increased complexity to each of those dimensions. OnStream migration experts have led successful projects for “too big to fail” banks and 25-person web companies, and every niche in between. We know the ins and outs, and our learning is at your disposal.
