Analysis. Our consultants analyse your current requirements and forecast future needs, perform a gap analysis against Dimension Data and industry best practice, and identify and prioritise areas for improvement. For example, failed jobs are investigated for root cause, such as performance bottlenecks, and remediation plans are formed. By looking at your virtualisation goals, data types and volumes we evaluate new technology, such as deduplication, tiered recovery, and cloud-based services, for suitability to your environment. Recommendations. Dimension Data provides both a comprehensive written report as well as a presentation of our findings and recommendations.
