Assessment Drivers

Are you Virtualized?  An iOS Assessment is an inexpensive way to verify that your infrastructure can support the dynamic density aspects resulting from any virtualization project.

Did you recently upgrade servers?  New blade servers often require more power and as such increase heat in your data center.  An iOS Assessments will help you determine the exact hot-spot and proper remedies.

Are you getting hit with down time, power outages or hot spot alarms?  Each of these issues is a tell-tail sign that you need to re-assess your IT assets and facility layout.

Are you changing your Infrastructure?  Often times, changes to the data center no matter how minor will affect your airflow distribution and Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE).

Planning ahead for equipment growth, facility expansion or even consolidation?  An iOS Assessment will provide a road-map for improvements and remediation of issues before they occur.
