Datalink Implementation Services
As data center solution architects, Datalink fully understand the intricacies of consolidating data centers, migrating data, or implementing private cloud, backup and recovery, and other technologies into your infrastructure. Datalink engineers work closely with you to successfully architect and deploy timely and cost-effective solutions and minimize the disruption to your organization.
Maximize the benefits of your technology investments
IT departments are shifting to enterprise-wide integration as they continue to wrestle with the challenges of disparate technologies and the pressure to reduce costs. We can help address these challenges through specialized services developed to streamline operations and increase business performance.
With expertise in technologies throughout the data center, we excel at implementing data center infrastructures including unified storage, server, and network solutions that help you achieve the full promise of technology. Using proven methodologies and more than 25 years of experience, we ensure the delivery of an efficient, effective solution that properly aligns IT with your business requirements.
Assessment services
Optimizing your IT environment begins with a comprehensive understanding of the many assets – people, processes, and technologies – that span the entire IT infrastructure. Datalink assessment services provide holistic analysis, proactive planning, and actionable recommendations to validate and improve your approach to managing your IT infrastructure. Our assessment services include:
- Archiving and eDiscovery
- Backup
- Network architecture
- Storage
- Virtualization
Our IT assessments are available to firms of any size. Whether you need a large-scale analysis of your present and future IT needs, or a rapid and robust evaluation, you can count on us to deliver the best possible insight, so you can maximize your IT spend, reduce costs and risks, and improve performance and efficiencies throughout your IT environment.
Migration services
Migrating to newer technologies can advance operational efficiency, provide a competitive advantage, and improve your bottom line. However, it can also introduce risk and disruption, especially when the information infrastructure is widely deployed or extensively customized. We offer skilled migration services to reduce risks and manage the cost of ever-changing technology.
Data migration
Moving data is inherently disruptive and one of IT’s biggest challenges. We have the experience and talent to successfully plan, manage, and implement data migrations in even the most complex environment. Using a holistic approach that incorporates people, processes, and technologies, we leverage multiple techniques – matching the best option to your business requirements – to transparently move data between heterogeneous systems while keeping servers online and applications running.
Our data migration capabilities include:
- NAS / SAN
- Post-merger and acquisition activities
- Vendor to vendor (different targets)
- Upgrade /refresh
- System virtualization
- Re-platform of O/S (vendor UNIX to Linux, or x86)
- Remote and local migrations
NetApp clustered Data ONTAP migration
Because clustered Data ONTAP requires a new approach to storage and IT architecture, the migration is more complex than a typical Data ONTAP upgrade. We can help ensure a smooth transition to clustered Data ONTAP so you can take advantage of enhanced storage efficiency, nonstop operations, and greater scalability. Our in-depth knowledge of NetApp technology and decades of data storage experience help you migrate successfully with minimal disruption to your business operations and no strain on your budget or resources.
Infrastructure migration
Integration of disparate technologies and escalating pressures to reduce costs have shifted the focus of IT departments to enterprise-wide programs that address business needs. A cost-effective, scalable, and manageable IT infrastructure is the first step in advancing business goals through IT capabilities.
We offer specialized capabilities to maximize current financial and operational resources across any one or a combination of data center environments: physical, virtual, or cloud. Our expert infrastructure migration services address your business challenges with the skilled resources to guide you through the entire process, ensuring a seamless, trouble-free transition customized according to your business requirements.
Application migration
Your business applications represent a significant investment and are a critical piece of your business. We work with you to develop an effective approach to application migration, so you can take advantage of ever-evolving technologies. More than just a software upgrade, an application migration is an opportunity to consider how you are using your tools as much as what tools you are using. It’s also a chance to improve service levels while moving to a new IT environment that mitigates current pains and addresses future needs.
Modernizing your application environment can improve efficiencies and responsiveness, plus give your business a competitive advantage. It can also better position your business to leverage new technologies like virtualization and cloud computing.
Our highly skilled team of application migration experts can help you cast off the constraints of technology and business agility – empowering your organization to grow and innovate.
Residency services
The day-to-day management of data center infrastructure has become increasingly more complex with shared environments, cloud architectures, and continually emerging technologies. We can help your organization make significant gains in efficiency and performance with on-the-spot expertise, knowledge transfer, and best practices to manage and operate your infrastructure and accelerate your new IT initiatives.
Our specialized skills meet a broad range of IT demands, including but not limited to:
- Project management
- Resource management and provisioning
- Status reporting
- System operations
- Monitoring information assets
- System configuration
