How are most Data Centre managed?  Often too many times the management and maintenance of the data centre is the responsibility of “teams” of people.  In other words the IT and facilities staff manage the centre.  As result when problems happens who is responsible and does everyone know “what” to do when a problem happens.  Many datacentre functions fall into an administrative grey zone between IT and Facilities Services.

NegenIT DCAS examines physical facilities, accommodations (e.g. utilities, HVAC), infrastructure design and deployment, security in addition to measuring how “green” the data centre is. Experience shows that having the right facilities, hardware and software is not enough to ensure reliable data centre availability. Data centre management and human factors are major determinates in meeting availability targets.  Without it all the companies’ stored information could be at risk.   

NegenIT’s approach makes sure organizations know the areas of risk, what to do to mitigate those risks, how to reduce costs and improve availability.  This in turn enables organizations to understand the status of key resources, policies and process and to introduce change to mitigate any risk of outages or service disruptions.

Assessing the extent, impact and consequences of problems that can effect the Data Centre

• Assess physical facilities
• Assess infrastructure design and deployment
• Software and Hardware
• Systems management and human factors
• Assess how “green” the data centre is
• Failover and Back-up systems

DCAS enables organizations to plan and forecast growth as well to proactively manage resources so that the future capacity of the business can be met at the lowest possible cost. 

The NegenIT assessment methodology measures how well the data centre meets corporate requirements. NegenIT assesses the current, “As Is”, state of the data centre and compares this to Industry Best Practices using NegenIT’s proprietary suite of IT assessment tools. The DCAS suite is a unique set of tools built on experience, intellectual property, benchmarks, and proven methodologies and processes.

NegenIT delivers as part of the DCAS program:

• Risk Assessment
• Mitigation and Contingency Measures
• Risk Monitoring
• Cost Control for systems, hardware, software and human factors  
• Plus more….

The NegenIT assessment will identify the challenges that constrain new revenue opportunities, customer service and operational efficiencies.
