Data Center Consolidation and Migration Service (DCCM)

 

In a data center construction or upgrade project, it is the early planning activity that offers the greatest potential for mistakes. Most defects that turn up in the later stages of a project are caused not by problems in the physical components of the system, but rather by oversights or misinformed decisions during planning. Fortunately, it is possible to avoid many of these problems by having the right people making the right decisions in the right sequence.
