    Wisdom to guide your data center transformation

    We make sure the data center options you choose offer the capabilities you need within a service plan that is right for you.

    Critical Area #1

    Needs assessment

    Every organization is unique, which means that any data center recommendation must start with a thorough understanding of an individual organization’s needs and current IT setup, including:
    • IT skills and headcount
    • Compliance issues
    • Security concerns
    • Legacy investments
    • IT workloads
    • Application types
    • Power Assessment
    • Need for physical access
    • Geographic footprint

    Critical Area #2

    Provider capabilities assessment

    In order to pick the right data center options you need to know what those options are. Spearhead is unmatched in its knowledge of data center providers, their strengths, weaknesses, and range of offerings, including:
    • Delivery model (multi/single tenant, on/off premises)
    • Business model (colocation, hosted, managed hosted, hybrid cloud, etc.)
    • Professional services (e.g., capacity planning, performance testing)
    • Applications as a service (e.g., Microsoft, Linux)
    • Environmental (e.g., heat, A/C, electrical, fire prevention, location)
    • Managed services (e.g., database, security, disaster recovery)
    • Physical security (e.g., CCTV, guards)
    • Financial (e.g., pricing, contract length, termination clauses)
    • Data backup (e.g., media, where backups are stored, backup testing)

    Critical Area #3

    Data center migration

    Making sure there’s a great fit between your business and your data center is our primary objective. We match your needs to provider capabilities, then manage the data center migration itself, including:
    • Data center architecture
    • Equipment build-out
    • Post-migration support
    • Vendor negotiations
    • Implementation runbook
    • Migration timetable
    • Service selections
    • Backup and recovery
    • Purposing legacy assets
