Design & Implementation

Once all the facts are identified and confirmed from the comprehensive information assessment phase can the design phase begin. When storage solutions parameters are known, a More Group solutions architect prepares for the implementation by creating design documentation and verifying the high volume of diverse information. There are several critical variables to consider: microcode, software versions, hardware configuration, software and hardware configuration parameters, conflicting configuration parameters, heterogeneous systems conflicting hardware or software functionality, integration with legacy systems, and data migration. We then ask the key question: Is this solution suited for a development or production system?

Ensuring all variables become constant is critical prior to commencing the implementation phase. A More Group solutions architect performs a rigorous review of the design by crosschecking with the vendors' interoperability matrices, as well as a design review by the customer, who must verify that this solution meets their objectives.

Storage implementations have one objective: to integrate the solution with minimal impact to the environment and with maximum customer satisfaction. Design specifications are established and a methodical process is followed to ensure quality. No storage implementation from More Group's engineering team moves forward without a quality assurance review, review of facts, review of risks and issues, and verification that the planned solution is optimal and valid. Sound and focused project management principles surround each More Group storage solution integration, so there are no surprises, no obstacles, no impediment unresolved.
