Savvis Solutions Consulting Knows Cloud

Everyone knows that cloud provides

on-demand access to computing

resources. It is really so much more.

We view cloud as a fundamentally

better IT operating model from both

business and technology perspectives.

You get enhanced scalability, flexibility,

and agility. Your business becomes

truly empowered in a way that drives

increased performance at the same

time that you reap cost efficiencies.

Savvis Solutions Consulting profes-

sionals are in a unique position to

assess your organization’s readiness

to move to the cloud, or — if you are

ready — to design your architecture

and manage your actual migration to

it. With deep expertise in managing

complex distributed systems, and

extensive experience in the analysis

and implementation of leading cloud

providers solutions, our team builds

analytics that redefine the landscape

of business and technology and give

you a competitive advantage.

Savvis Solutions Consulting Service Offerings SavvisCloudReadinessAssessmentConsidering moving to the cloud? Savvis Solutions Consulting can help. By performing a thorough analysis of your application portfolio, operational model — both process and governance — cost structure, and infrastructure stack, we determine your ability to leverage cloud technologies to advance your business goals.

Cloud Acceleration ProgramSavvis understands that reconstructing IT environments and application platforms in the cloud requires more than flipping a switch in the data center. That’s why we offer cloud services that range from a preliminary assessment of your cloud readiness through final deployment of a cloud-based solution. Our team of technical and business architects analyze your technology stack, IT processes, business drivers and financial models to develop an end-to-end cloud solution that allow you to reap all the advantages of cloud while mitigating the risks.

Savvis Server ConsolidationVirtualization technology is so pervasive that it has been deployed in the vast majority of enterprise data centers. With virtualization, businesses can consolidate physical servers, dramatically improving utilization rates, cutting heating and cooling expenses, reducing the overall data center footprint, and increasing the productivity of data center personnel.

Server consolidation can be challenging. Our Savvis Server Consolidation solution is delivered by a team of technical and business architects who analyze your technology stack, IT processes, business drivers, and financial models to create a consolidation blueprint tailored for your needs. By performing a rigorous analysis of the applications that will be running in your virtualized environment, creating a robust virtualization design, and carefully carrying out the implementation, we help you maximize return on investment (ROI), system performance, and user adoption rates.

Savvis Data Center Migration ProgramA successful data center migration requires meticulous planning and near-fl awless execution. Savvis Solutions Consulting can support you all the way. From understanding the true total cost of ownership (TCO) of your data center, to determining the right hosting architecture for your complex heterogeneous server, storage, and network environments, to minimizing service disruptions, Savvis Solutions Consulting is on top of the migration. We anticipate and mitigate both the known risks, and the inevitable surprises that occur. We don’t make a move without a rock-solid business case and robust fi nancial model that proves the migration is good for your bottom line.

SavvisDisasterRecoveryEnablementServicesBusinesses are more dependent upon technology with each passing day. Even a momentary IT infrastructure outage can massively disrupt business operations. The loss, theft, or corruption of enterprise data can result in lost business, lost revenues, and lost reputations. Few businesses would argue that they need to be thoroughly prepared to withstand the kinds of natural and man-made disasters we’ve seen in recent years. Disaster recovery planning is challenging due to the complexity of today’s IT infrastructures and the large array of technology solutions on the market.

With its Disaster Recovery Enablement Services, Savvis Solutions Consulting uses a robust three-pronged disaster recovery strategy: anticipate, prevent, and mitigate. We thoroughly analyze your applications and their interdependencies, evaluate products from leading vendors and design a solution that ensures transaction integrity based on industry best practices.
