HPE Storage Impact Analysis Level 1 Service
HPE Technology Consulting
HPE Storage Impact Analysis Service Level 1 provides you with an enhanced understanding of your existing storage environment and operating model in terms of technology and its utilization, and also in terms of the organization and processes that are used to support it.
Using a combination of discovery tools, interviews, and workshops, the service assesses the current state of your SAN and NAS infrastructure, including asset utilization, operations (capacity planning, provisioning, business continuity, etc.), and high-level savings potential. Based on the data gathered in these assessments, we conduct an analysis of the organization, process, technology, and, optionally, ROI. The output consists of a set of recommendations, including a combination of remedial changes, operational changes, potential additional technology, and financial modeling. Service deliverables include a set of storage transformation scenarios with technical and financial backing and a high level storage transformation roadmap.
