New demands for information, coupled with escalating IT management costs, are driving the need for more efficient and responsive storage and data infrastructures. Implementing new storage products, however, takes specialized skills, resources and time that many organizations don't readily have in-house.
IBM Implementation Services for storage products can help you plan, install, configure and test storage-related hardware or software. IBM's experienced resources will provide guidance on specific products to aid with planning, technical and training activities. We can help you address the challenges associated with storage-system implementation, while helping you complete installation on time and on budget. This will boost your ability to get the value from your storage infrastructure investments sooner than if you had managed implementation yourself.
IBM has fixed-price and fixed-scope installation services for key IBM storage products, such as IBM TotalStorage® DS8000, Total Productivity Center Standard Edition and SAN Volume Controller. These are easy to understand and purchase when you procure products from your IBM Systems Storage representative or Business Partners. Or, you can obtain the services directly from IBM Global Services.
Whether you are implementing storage products as part of a solution initiative, such as information lifecycle management (ILM) or infrastructure optimization, or simply adding new capabilities, IBM can help you smoothly and efficiently transition these products into your environment.
