Infrastructure Relocations
As Roundbrix specializes in project management and infrastructure planning, design, implementation and management, we have developed an expertise in relocations. We took this expertise, created a project methodology and we execute it with great success.
Roundbrix developed a move methodology to help companies relocate and re-tool. Our services scale with minimal pain, regardless of company size. Whether you are looking for turnkey services, project oversight and management, a few key players, a sanity check, or an 11th hour bailout when things aren't going exactly to plan, we are the team that makes it happen.
We believe that if we can outsource portions, yet remain fully accountable to you, the client, we are able to pass on savings without creating unnecessary risk. Simply put, we maintain ownership of those areas appointed to us.
A move is a tough endeavor, especially if you are not experienced in that area of expertise. Though most companies can figure out 90% of the move, the other 10% can hurt your business significantly and create negativity among your customer base.
Feel free to download our Fifteen Most Common Move Issues (76 Kb). It's what experience has taught us. This document is only avoidance of a few bonehead mistakes, not the actual methodology.
Existing Infrastructures
For infrastructures already in place, a sanity check on design, scalability, network traffic engineering analysis for both voice and data, useful life, proper maintenance intervals and practices, are warranted if a clean bill of health for reuse is desired.
Value in infrastructure is important as is scalability and reliability. If properly designed, your infrastructure should grow with your business, not become a sunk cost before lease end or being fully depreciated. Value is largely a design consideration with senior management participating in outlining potential growth areas and foreseeable technology needs. We also factor in for the unanticipated, insulating our customers from large surprises. When it comes to IT infrastructures, Roundbrix can make these costs largely predictable. It's simply that we have been there before - many times.
New Infrastructures
Roundbrix believes that a proper planning exercise is tantamount to proper design of new infrastructures. We gather requirements properly before proposing solutions. To give you peace of mind, we play out the "what if" scenarios so you don't have to live them. Incorporated in all of our designs is a disaster planning/high availability methodology. The typical cost differential between a standard infrastructure and one with built-in safeguards for higher availability and greater reliability are typically less than 15% additional material cost. The return is in value of investment and maximum and productive, revenue-generating uptime.
Identifying and eliminating or mitigating single points of failures is what we do. And we do it well.
Redundant "in" and "out" paths for voice and data, redundant power sources, high availability disk arrays, a rock-solid power protection philosophy, strategic electrical circuit distribution, earthquake and other natural disaster preparedness, co-location of certain strategic services, and many others. These are just the tip of the iceberg.
