Today’s data center is not just a hub of technology, it’s the heart of the business. No matter what combination of software, hardware and applications may co-exist in the data center, its role remains the same: service the functional areas of the business efficiently.

GlassHouse’s Data Center Services are designed to optimize assets, lower costs, reduce risk, and improve the level of service that the data center provides to end users. In addition, we help enterprises meet their “green” initiatives by reducing the amount of hardware on the floor, which decreases energy consumption, licensing and maintenance fees, and improves utilization rates. Whether your organization is considering a data center consolidation or migration or currently implementing a data center project, GlassHouse has a variety of service offerings to help.

Migrations

A data center migration is one of the most high risk undertakings in the IT world. When you move your data, you’re transporting the foundation of your business. The benefits of a data center migration to your organization can be powerful and include decreased costs through reducing required physical space, improved flexibility through optimization of hardware/software and simplified application management.
