Data Center Services from Business Technology Architects

At Business Technology Architects (BTA), we look at how your business currently stores, processes and disseminates data and determines what needs to be done to get you to your goal. Whether on-premises, in a “colo” or in the cloud, we consider your specific data center requirements to provide services such as design, migration and optimization to support your business as it evolves.

Data Center Design & Mapping Services

Data center design is the process of planning and organizing the infrastructure and resource allocation of a data center. Designing and mapping a data center is essential because it ensures that the network is organized in a way that maximizes efficiency and performance. With our S.I.M.P.L.E. (Start. Immerse. Map. Prove. Launch. Evolve.) methodology, our team will first assess your data center needs by looking at your current infrastructure. Once we have a clear understanding of your data center requirements, our team will get to work on designing and mapping out your data center. We also offer training to your staff so they can be familiarized with the data center design and mapping. This way, you can be confident that your data center is running smoothly and efficiently.

Data Center Migration Services

Data center migrations can be complex and time-consuming. At BTA, we tailor our data center migration services to fit the specific needs of your business by following the process below:
