Maintain Target Services Levels and Lower Long-Term Cost
A Sun Preventive Services engagement starts with a comprehensive assessment of the people, processes and products that impact your data center operations. We identify weaknesses in your operational infrastructure by looking at factors such as IT skills, security, environmentals, and procedures. We create an improvement plan that covers all these dimensions of your data center health, and work with your IT staff to implement the plan. Our aim: to get your data center fit and healthy to support your most aggressive business goals.
A new approach that can help you maintain target service levels today and cut total service costs substantially over time, Sun Preventive Services covers your Sun Solaris products with one subscription and one key contact to help you simplify and reduce the cost of support administration.
Measurable Impact
Sun Preventive Services uses systematic, proven methodologies to measure your data center health. After setting mutually agreed-upon goals for improvement, we continually measure and monitor your progress toward operational excellence. With a clear picture of your risks and needs, we provide the appropriate services, including reactive support, to help you minimize risk and reach your improvement goals.
A Phased Approach: "Get It Right," then "Keep It Right"
Utilizing a phased approach, Sun Preventive Services identifies risks and implements plans for continuous improvement:
Phase 1: Get It Right
Find out where your operations are vulnerable, and why. Working as a team, we identify the risk areas most likely to impact your business, then design and implement a plan to make things better. You benefit from Sun's expert consulting, training for your staff, and a portfolio of 100+ services to help you Get it Right. As we proceed with this fitness plan, we continually measure your progress toward your targeted improvements.
Phase 2: Keep it Right
"Keep It Right," or the maintenance phase of the engagement, starts once you've maintained your targeted improvements for 90 days.
Key Performance Indicators Assess your Risks More Accurately
By analyzing Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), we help you to:
- assess your risks more accurately
- set goals and implement plans to improve data center performance and efficiency
- optimize resources and assets
- reduce variability and unscheduled events
- lower long-term recurring costs.
