Feb, 2009 : ASG Issues Facility Relocation Whitepaper

📅 February 24, 2009 - IT consulting, integration, and project management firm Advanced Systems Group (virtual.com) announced on Tuesday it has issued a new data center relocation whitepaper entitled "Data Center Relocations: Make a Good Move with Advanced Systems Group".

The company recently upgraded its data center relocation services, which focuses on training technical experts to plan for contingencies and potential problems.

The whitepaper, which can be downloaded for free off ASG's website, focuses on companies that are currently facing potentially difficult and complicated data center relocations.

Migrating these business-critical applications and assets can lead to many risks and complications, such as significant down-times and lost productivity.

In the new whitepaper, ASG explains its approach to addressing these issues, which involves comprehensive plans to relocate production data centers from one location to another without affecting any data or critical services.

"The ASG data center move methodology is a comprehensive approach," says Dustin Smith, lead consulting engineer at ASG. "Our first priority is to study and document an organization's entire environment, carefully planning for any potential risk. And then we are on-site and 100 percent committed until the move is completed and all services are online and running properly."

ASG has completed many successful data center relocations of IBM, HP, Sun, EMC, HDS, Cisco and NetApp environments.

In addition to its data center relocation services, ASG provides complete IT solutions including comprehensive consulting services, storage and data management solutions, assessments and implementation services.
