Consolidation makes data easier to find and easier to use

Change makes people nervous, especially in a work environment. When you’re undertaking an environment migration such as from NT4 to Windows 2003, it will be a lot less painful for your end users if you consolidate your data as well. This means that they’ll only have to go through one big change to their work habits instead of lots of little ones.

Save money by consolidating your servers

It makes sense to rationalise your servers too. Reducing the number of servers you have means you can cut the total cost of maintaining your IT infrastructure by a considerable amount. You’ll also save on rack space and use a lot less energy because you won’t need as much cooling for the server room. 

Helping you get there

It’s all about keeping things simple. But getting there isn’t straightforward. Both user and data migration projects are quite complex; make any mistakes and your users could lose access to data, which can be expensive for your business.

That’s why you need to call in the experts. 

At Parative, we’ve worked on many multi-national projects for data and server consolidation for many of the UK's largest banks as well as government department such as The Office of Fair Trading.

What we can do for you

Using best practice, we can:
  • Consolidate your data onto a SAN so that you have a single backend to administer.
  • Clean up permissions and group membership, or start you off again from scratch.
  • Simplify access with Distributed File System (DFS), so your users have a single drive letter.
  • Simplify access with Access Based Enumeration (ABE), so that your users can only see the things they have permission to access.
You choose how we can help you:
  • Our techie guys can take care of the entire process for you, while also training and guiding your staff towards handover; or we can
  • Guide your team through the whole process, showing them how to do it and helping them avoid all of the common pitfalls.
Our aim is to get you where you need to go with zero impact, zero downtime and reduced costs.
