IT Infrastructure Consulting
Infrastructure design that starts from what the business actually does each day, not from a list of currently fashionable hardware.
IT infrastructure often grows without a plan: a server is added when the old one fills up, a switch is bought when the ports run out. It works, but nobody knows exactly what is owned, what is past its service life, and what has become a single point of failure.
We begin with an inventory: what exists now, who uses what, what the peak load is, and where work stops when one device dies. Only then do we draw up the design and the replacement order — so the budget goes first to whatever blocks the most work.
What we do
- Inventory of devices and users including service life and support status.
- Real load measurement during peak hours, not figures from the vendor datasheet.
- Capacity design that states the reason behind every number, so it can be reviewed.
- Priority order for replacement, with budget estimates.
