CONSULTING:

A sound infrastructure strategy requires time and resources that most IT organizations can't afford to remove from the day-to-day demands of fighting fires and keeping the data center running. GCA's storage and system experts can step back and objectively see the "big picture", understand your specific business issues, and put their knowledge to work, maximizing your investment in Spectra Logic Solutions.

GCA Storage & System Professionals can provide these "Expert on Demand" Services:

• Assessment & Planning: GCA consultants analyze current and future capacity requirements. Analysis includes projected rates of growth, as well as peak requirements and trends. After a thorough review of the computing environment and business plans, consultants work with your staff to plan capacity needs.
• Architecture Design Services: GCA Architecture Design Services include an analysis of the impact of new technologies on your environment. GCA helps you ensure that new technologies are integrated with the least impact on your operations. GCA offers several design service options. We can assist in developing an overall strategy for the enterprise, or for a specific technology such as SAN, NAS, Clustering, High Availability, and others.
• Implementation & Project Management: GCA can help you implement system and storage projects and plans from start to finish, or assist you only in specific areas where you require added expertise. We can help you complete your projects on time and within budget.
• Performance & Resource Optimization: The storage and systems available in most data centers are drastically underutilized. By better matching existing resources with your requirements, GCA consultants enable you to fully utilize the 'hidden capacity' in your existing infrastructure. Upgrading to your vendor's current version often can provide improved performance and problem fixes, as well as valuable new features, at minimal cost. GCA can install and test upgrades to most popular products with little or no disruption to your daily operations.
