Planning and Predesign

Network downtime → income and productivity minimization

Just think about the possibility that your data center project is over budget and arrives months later. Or worse, think that your computer room has not security & fire protection or cooling system. Considering the risks involved, this entire story could end like a mare: serious damages to your entire IT equipment, and of course revenue and job lost.

A good plan is the key to a successful project. And a good and responsible manager has to pay caution to so many things, avoiding them going wrong by using that plan. LASTING is in the planning business along with you.


Cost and Availability

Everyone expects a 7x24x365 environment. And saying that it is a difficult to reach goal is not news. Availability is not only the reliability of used elements and the redundancy by which they are configured. Availability is also having systems concurrently maintainable. This means that if periodic maintenance is performed, systems security and network availability are achieved.

And there is no surprise that availability expectation and costs are directly connected.

LASTING is helping you to:

  • Determine the availability that is appropriate.
  • Estimate potential costs at that risk level.


Accurate Critical Load Profiling

LASTING has the necessary project experience to ensure precise load profiles and their facility infrastructure impact due to technology refresh initiatives. (For example blade server deployment)

Data Center Site Selection

Many companies have improved their productivity, their revenue and have reduced their costs by using centralized data centers, and mission-critical applications. This is one of the reasons for the data center demand increase. And there could be added other advantages: scalability, flexibility and high availability. But there it is an important condition that must be satisfied: Data Center Security. Just imagine a natural or a man-made disaster affecting your Data Center: the results are destructive.


Business Goals and Requirements

Why do companies use data centers? Why is site selection the first step in achieving high availability?
These are just two questions which will help us to understand the data center importance.

Today technology allows organizations to be efficacious and to react quickly to business environment changes. Data centers protect that technology and are therefore, one of the most important business assets.


The Problem

If a data center becomes unavailable, important direct and indirect losses may occur. Direct losses mean extra costs and lost income. Indirect losses are much harder to quantify. Indirect losses include the costs related to regulatory obligations and customer satisfaction issues due to not meeting service level agreements.
