What this service covers
We size, supply, install and configure the compute and storage your applications run on, and put a tested backup and recovery plan around it.
Scope of work
- Rack, blade and tower servers
- SAN, NAS and unified storage
- Hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI)
- Backup, replication and restore testing
- High availability and clustering
- Operating system and database platform setup
- Hardware refresh and migration
- Capacity and performance sizing

Can you reuse our existing servers?
Where the hardware is still supported and has useful life left, yes. We assess what you have and include reusable equipment in the design.
How do we know the backup actually works?
We run a test restore before handover and record the result, and we recommend repeating restore drills on a fixed schedule afterwards.
