Customer solution design

Description:
The service is focused on enterprise solutions that require in depth analysis and verification of non-standard configurations, mainly due to their complexity and large number of interconnections.

The procedure begins with analysis of customer’s enquiry. The analysis identifies the basic parameters and specifies all other technologies that may be employed when implementing the proposed solution. When searching for the best fitting configuration, the existing equipment and mutual compatibility of systems is taken into consideration as well as the supposed future state of the system and impact of changes on performance and functionality of the solution.

In each complex infrastructure there are certain parts that are problematic in terms of compatibility. Competency center specialists will suggest configurations, drivers and patches that will minimize these problems connected with implementation and future operation of the solution.

On the basis of our extensive experience the conditions for the installation and implementation are specified and it is possible to use them for project preparation or demand management. The analysis will also provide all necessary data needed for provision of schedule draft and recommendations regarding the installation procedure. Competency center provides a possibility to test and verify the proposed solution using MHM equipment. Creating a test environment enables us to identify potential problems and gives us an opportunity to solve them even before the first steps to order the equipment and start the implementation have been taken.

The service includes creation of standardized documentation and project preparations.

Key products included in the service:Analysis of customer's enquiry and customer's environment

  • Implementation schedule and procedure proposal
  • Testing and verification of the solution in the competency center
  • Creating and presenting project documentation
  •  

Compatibility Testing

Description:
The proper functionality of all parts of an infrastructure is a prerequisite for its successful development. Computing centers often consist of technology of varying age and from different manufacturers.  Each new device or software implementation increases the complexity of the system and can cause instability especially in terms of poor compatibility of all employed components. The service of Compatibility testing aims to verify compatibility of the proposed solution and when needed, suggest such adjustments that would minimize problems connected with implementation or future operation of the solution. The testing is being held in MHM competency center where it is possible to verify functionality using MHM equipment

Key products included in the service:
  • Compatibility check and recommendations of SW version (drivers, firmware, OS version, patches etc.)
  • The solution testinf and validation in competency center MHM

Customer's environment simulation

Description:
The best way how to demonstrate the benefits of the selected solution is to simulate the behavior of the proposed technology in an environment, which is as similar to the environment of a customer as possible. Only the well conducted simulation can reveal how the individual products will work in actual operation. That is the reason why we offer the possibility to compile so-called pilot solutions at our competency center and verify the properties of the system in practice. Functionality of the solution can be verified directly on application the customer uses.
Competency center laboratories are equipped not only with HP and HDS technology but also with such devices as Brocade and CISCO SAN network switches, server platforms Windows, Linux, HP-UX, Solaris and AIX or backup systems based on traditional tape libraries or their virtual mirroring. We have the means to integrate archiving software to archive solutions. Technical equipment of the competency center enables us to simulate wide range of SAN and NAS environments, including modern virtualization techniques and management of heterogeneous and hierarchically structured (tiered) storage.
Key products included in the service:
  • SAN/NAS environment simulation
  • Customer's virtualization envrionment simulation
  • Archivation application simulation and customer backup data simulation
