Today’s data center is not just a hub of technology, it’s the heart of the business. No matter what combination of software, hardware and applications may co-exist in the data center, its role remains the same: service the functional areas of the business efficiently.
GlassHouse’s Data Center Services are designed to optimize assets, lower costs, reduce risk, and improve the level of service that the data center provides to end users. In addition, we help enterprises meet their “green” initiatives by reducing the amount of hardware on the floor, which decreases energy consumption, licensing and maintenance fees, and improves utilization rates. Whether your organization is considering a data center consolidation or migration or currently implementing a data center project, GlassHouse has a variety of service offerings to help.
Reflector - A Single Point of Truth
What makes GlassHouse’s data center services unique is our combination of proven methodologies, proprietary software and experienced consultants. Reflector, an internally developed software tool, helps manage data center migrations and consolidations by:
-
establishing and managing application-centric detailed plans
-
flagging interdependencies and potential risks
-
mapping applications to physical devices
-
modeling various scenarios before the migrations are implemented
Reflector acts as a “single point of truth” for the capture of all information associated with a data center migration, including optimization activities associated with consolidation and/or virtualization. By tracking the details and activities required for a successful data center migration, Reflector creates an efficient, streamlined process, eliminating a tremendous amount of risk.

The benefits of a data center migration to your organization can be powerful and include decreased costs through reducing required physical space, improved flexibility through optimization of hardware/software and simplified application management.
