[RE]DESIGN Implementation Services
[RE]DESIGN will provide onsite resource(s) to complete comprehensive, white-glove implementation of every component included in this order. This includes install, configuration, testing, validation, integration, documentation, and a tested and executed migration plan.
Rack & Stack:
• Unpack and inspect all hardware
• Rack, mount and/or position all products and components • Install and route power, data, and KVM cables
• Apply customer-provided labels to newly installed cables • Power on all equipment
• Confirm server boots and check for errors on all systems • Configure network addresses on IPMI (i.e., iDRAC) if applicable Network, Compute & Storage Implementation:
• Install and Configure Backend Network Switches
• Install Hypervisor and cluster manager (i.e., ESXi and vCenter) • Confirm all component drivers and firmware are latest supported versions • Configure Cluster and Converged Datastore
• Setup encryption and key management if required
• Install latest firmware and software patches/updates
• Activate and Install all licensing for all servers and storage hardware • Validate systems implementation and review results with customer • Setup vendor support systems and automated health checks (i.e., Dell ESRS or Support Assist)
Backup System Implementation:
• Install and Configure backup system (i.e., IDPA/PowerProtect) • Install firmware and software patches/updates
• Enable backup storage encryption if required
• Configure backup server
• Connect to virtual infrastructure if applicable
• Deploy backup proxies if applicable
• Setup test VM/server backup
• Perform Functional Overview and Knowledge Transfer
• Assist with Configuration of backup policies
Testing, Validation and Documentation:
• Verify that all components have network connectivity to Client’s network • Perform basic verification tests (i.e., ping, traceroute, show commands) • Test product failover capability
• Verify configuration aligns with the design
• Create vendor support requests to update all client configuration information and entitlements
• Conduct Knowledge Transfer with the client
• Register customer to receive vendor product alerts if required • Handover As-Built Documentation
Phase 1 Phase 2
Production Migration:
• Identify all existing Network, Storage, Server, Backup, and VM Configs • Establish and execute migration framework/plan
• Establish migration order and timeline with Client
• Setup migration tools (i.e., P2V converter, SAN copy, etc.) • Execute limited migration on predefined timeline per Client Change Management policies
• Test and time successful migration using test/non-production VMs • Includes the migration of up to 25 Servers or up to 10TB of data. • Additional Prof. Services SOW = Any additional server migrations above the 25 servers or 10TB, including server patching/updating or application or 3rd party vendor specific migrations, are out of scope.
Impacting Factors:
NOTE: We have separated out the migration as Phase 2 due to inherent nuances that warrant an extended and often fragmented implementation timeline. Examples include:
• Business impact or strict change control
• Complexity of source to target configuration
• Size and variability of workload types
• Legacy tech debt and/or non-supported configurations
• Maintenance, patching, update, or version issues in environment • Lack of documentation or knowledge of environment
• Resource availability and/or capacity issues
