FAQs

What does a data center modernization project actually involve?

Modernization usually begins with an infrastructure audit — reviewing servers, storage, network topology, and workloads. From there, BTA maps out design, migration, and optimization steps. The goal isn’t just to refresh technology, but to improve performance, scalability, and visibility across the entire environment.

How do I know if it’s time to consolidate or redesign my data center?

You’ll start seeing signs like rising maintenance costs, underused hardware, or performance issues under new workloads. Consolidation or redesign becomes critical when your systems can’t scale or when management tools no longer provide real visibility. BTA helps assess readiness and build a roadmap that fits your business stage.

Can a data center migration really happen without downtime?

In most cases, yes — but it requires planning. We create detailed migration blueprints that include testing, workload sequencing, and rollback points. This approach minimizes risk and keeps core systems running while data and applications move in phases.

How much does a data center migration or redesign cost?

Costs vary widely based on size, complexity, and existing infrastructure. For many companies, the investment pays for itself through reduced downtime, lower maintenance, and improved energy efficiency. During discovery, BTA outlines a clear scope and budget before any work begins.

Do hybrid or multi-cloud environments really make sense for every company?

Not always. Hybrid environments are valuable for flexibility, but not every workload belongs in the cloud. BTA helps determine the right balance between on-premises, colocation, and cloud infrastructure based on performance, compliance, and cost.

Does BTA provide ongoing data center management after the project is done?

Yes. Many clients choose our managed data center services for continuous monitoring, patching, and performance tuning. It keeps operations stable and allows internal teams to focus on strategic initiatives instead of day-to-day maintenance.

How does BTA ensure data security during migration or redesign?

Every project begins with a risk assessment. We apply encryption, access controls, and redundancy strategies from the start, not as add-ons. The security framework stays consistent across on-premises, colocation, and cloud environments, ensuring compliance and peace of mind.
