Infrastructure modernisation

Server replacements planned around workload continuity.

Replace ageing production infrastructure through a controlled programme covering workload dependencies, platform design, rack and power requirements, migration sequence and recovery.

Reduce ageing-hardware risk without creating migration risk.

A server replacement is a production change programme. Hardware selection is only one decision inside workload, recovery and operating constraints.

01

Protect critical workloads

Map application, data, identity and network dependencies before migration activity is sequenced.

02

Improve recovery confidence

Align redundancy, backup, power protection and recovery procedures with the importance of each workload.

03

Create a supportable platform

Deliver documented infrastructure with capacity, configuration and operational ownership made explicit.

Engagement scope

Infrastructure decisions resolved as one system.

Compute, storage, virtualisation, power, rack, network and recovery requirements are designed together.

01

Workload and dependency assessment

Establish application, performance, capacity, compatibility, data and recovery requirements.

02

Platform architecture

Define physical and virtual compute, storage, resilience and management requirements.

03

Rack, power and UPS

Resolve equipment layout, power draw, UPS capacity, cooling and structured cabling before installation.

04

Migration and cutover

Sequence workload movement, validation and rollback around acceptable service windows.

05

Business continuity and handover

Confirm backup, recovery, documentation, monitoring and operational procedures for the new environment.

A controlled transition from old platform to new.

The delivery method separates discovery, architecture, staging and production change so risks are resolved before cutover.

01 / Assess

Establish workload requirements

Document dependencies, capacity, lifecycle risk and recovery expectations.

02 / Design

Define the platform

Resolve compute, storage, virtualisation, rack, power and network architecture.

03 / Stage

Build and validate

Prepare equipment and configuration before production workloads are moved.

04 / Migrate

Cut over and hand over

Execute controlled migration, validate service and transfer documentation.

Engineering contextEnd to end

From rack and UPS requirements through virtualisation, storage and business continuity.

Infrastructure engineering beyond the server chassis.

Braddon IT's infrastructure scope covers server replacement, rack installation, virtualisation, storage, UPS deployment and business continuity. The objective is a production environment that can be operated and recovered predictably.

  • Server replacement
  • Virtualisation and storage
  • Rack and UPS deployment
  • Continuity planning

Related project capabilities.

Server replacement programmes often expose connected network, Microsoft cloud and information-management requirements.
