The Aeritae methodology is based on establishing a thorough understanding of the Client’s business requirements, current environment(s) and application portfolio(s) while leveraging Aeritae’s experience with data center options in order to develop a best-fit strategy to meet your needs.

• The strategy, vision and planning for the data center creates the roadmap for making positive changes and ensuring alignment to the business
• Identify the correct architecture, design and associated infrastructure as you implement your data center strategies
• It is critical that there is a complete understanding of the dependencies (people, process & technology)

What do you do when:

• You need to centralize, de-centralize, consolidate or separate?
• The current data centers are approaching the limits of their design and the business continues to grow?
• The company needs a disaster recovery capability for certain functions?
• Cost and efficiencies are indicated?

Aeritae can assist in the strategy of the new data center, assist in identifying a size, location and functionality needed in the new data center.

Build:

Consider the options of build vs. buy, site situation and construction issues for your project.

Facilities Considerations:

• Develop an analysis for build vs. buy, site and construction considerations and options
• Look at policy and practice for facilities components such as power, cooling, floor loading, fire suppression, redundancy and security

Lease/Rent:

The fact that an existing DC is available to be leased or acquired doesn’t mean that it will easily or economically meet your requirements.  Aeritae understands that every data center is unique. Aeritae will perform a detailed examination of the alternative facilities specifications and determine whether you should lease or rent data center space.

Collocation and/or Managed Services

If you are assessing the use of collocation services, Aeritae is there to assist.

Regardless of your existing conditions, collocation can be complex, requiring various contracts and an in-depth services contract.

Aeritae can assist you in building the business case to collocate and assist in finding the space/facility to rent.

You will be able to rent the space and manage your own servers and you won’t have to worry about space, power, network connectivity and cooling issues.

Managed hosting facilities are attractive because you can rent IT infrastructure instead of investing in it.  You can rent servers, networks, applications, bandwidth and other equipment which will be managed by employees of the facility.
