Project Overview
|
Massive Solutions International (MSI) is a global company providing information technology solutions to a wide customer base. MSI’s current data center is located on the U.S. Gulf Coast, which is often plagued with catastrophic weather events. The company desires to implement a new state-of-the-art data center for its North American operations, capable of supporting strategic growth and expansion in an area with more stable weather patterns. |
Business Problem
|
The data center should be equipped with backup and recovery which is important on the restoration of data in cases on accidental deletion or failure. Unified computing should be ensured because it integrates visualization and computing hardware. There should be flashes that are solid that have fast performance and low latency. Hyper-converged system should be installed so as to integrate servers, network, visualization functions and storage into one module which is easy to manage, cheap and secure. |
Project Objectives
|
As soon as the Datacenter is transferred and installed in North America, it is expected to expand in terms of its operation due to friendly weather condition which favors its daily activities. The Welcoming weather house large population to mean the company is going to receive more customers as compared to the previous location which was affected by unfavorable weather conditions. |
Project Scope (Product Description, Acceptance Criteria, Deliverables, Exclusions, Constraints, and Assumptions)
|
The project involves a transfer of a data center from bad weather region to a strategic location so as to enable its expansion. A data center is a room meant to facilitate IT operations and equipment where data is stored, managed and disseminated. The data center will have a system which has various levels of privileges. Unauthorized people will not access the system also to allow integrity and confidentiality of data. The deliverables in the data center will include strategic growth and expansion in place with stable weather patterns. It will be absent in bad weather conditions in the new location and therefore the available constraints will be competition which will be available in North America. The assumptions will include training of new workers, Availability of Local Area Network in the new place and no current available computers and IT tools. |
