OVERVIEW

AdviStor Professional Services can help you analyze, design, and implement your solution. Our strengths are our extensive knowledge and expertise in storage, virtualization, disaster recovery, and project and data management. We use these strengths to speed the implementation of your solution, maximize the value of your investment, and successfully manage your risks. We don’t just engage with your immediate solution; we think about the future and how what we do on site will affect your business operations.

FOCUS AREAS:

SERVER VIRTUALIZATION
One of the biggest current trends is virtualization. This has mainly been driven by VMware. Our engineers are VMware Certified Professionals and have hands on experience as VMware users. They have led virtualization projects ranging from a 15 server consolidation to a 200 server consolidation.

We also offer Capacity Planner assessments. These assessments analyze your environment for up to 30 days. The goals of this assessment are to:

• Provide you with an accurate picture of your current server utilization
• Identify servers that are good or poor candidates for virtualization
• Provide you with scenarios that allow you to see how different choices in the virtualization project can change your environment

STORAGE IMPLEMENTATION
Our engineers are certified and have performed numerous implementations of the storage solutions we sell. Even if you are 90% comfortable implementing a device yourself, we offer phone support to get you through the other 10%.

BUSINESS CONTINUITY
Through our analyze, design and implement process we’ll help you see what the tradeoffs are between the vast number of business continuity solutions, and what is best for the needs of your business. Once a solution has been selected, we’ll help implement it for you, with a focus on knowledge transfer to ensure you achieve and maintain your business continuity goals.

ASSESSMENTS
AdviStor offers assessments of current VM, backup, storage, and server infrastructure. The reports we generate from these assessments help you with forecasting, bottleneck identification, and identifying possible points of failure. Our engineers will work with you to analyze these reports and provide you with suggestions for remediation.
