Solutions: Datacenter Relocation / Consolidation

Data Center Relocation or Consolidation

Data center relocations and server migrations bring clear advantages.
  • Reduced IT costs
  • Support compliance with government and industry regulations
  • Business continuity plans for disaster recovery

The impact of such moves on service levels – and on the business – should therefore not be underestimated. That’s why it’s critical for network planners, enterprise architects and business application owners to understand — in advance — exactly how data center or server moves will impact performance and availability. Such moves are often fraught with risk:

  • Local users become remote useres, impacting application performance
  • Increased transaction times put significant additional strain on processing resources
  • Critical services can be disrupted during transitional stages of the move

Accurately Predict the Impact on Data Center Relocation and Server Migration

Shunra VE helps you address these critical concerns before you move a single server, ensuring the success of your data center relocations and server
migrations. Shunra accurately predicts application performance from the end-user’s perspective for all remote locations. It also enables project teams to experiment with “what if” scenarios as they plan and execute data center moves or server relocations.
With Shunra VE, you and your team can:
  • Accurately predict the impact of data center relocation and server migration on end-users
  • Determine optimal server locations and configurations for each application
  • Determine inter-server dependencies to create a staged move plan and identify which servers must be moved together
  • Determine if any modification to network infrastructure is necessary
  • Determine whether techniques such as terminal services or WAN optimization will effectively resolve potential performance issues
  • Discover application design issues that might make data center relocation problematic
  • Validate disaster recovery and business continuity plans
  • Determine the performance consequences of moving servers for specific applications, such as Microsoft Exchange® and Active Directory®
  • Demonstrate projected application service levels to business managers and users
