- 3. Strategic Planning Strategic Planning Information Technology and data management play an important role in virtually all industries today. Proper alignment of these fundamental elements with business processes is critical for ongoing success in today’s competitive market, regardless of sector or size. Whether you are a pharmaceutical company with regulatory and intellectual property concerns, a research/educational institution concerned with consolidation of legacy or inhomogeneous systems, a financial firm needing a new data center, or a manufacturer with long term backup and analysis requirements of sales and distribution data, properly includ- ing these types of concerns into your long range plans is undoubtedly important to your mission. At RDS our core competency sits within Information Technology and we strive for client solutions that are robust, maintainable, scalable, secure, and of course, economical. Thinking through these dimensions in a dynamic world, with a focus on your business future, is vital to your success. Is there significant consensus on your future IT directions? What are the goals you perceive and will they change going forward? Will you have the appropriate IT staff and capital to really implement these goals? Should you build vs. buy vs. outsource? How do you handle change management? These and many other questions and decisions will be essential to defining your strategic plan and carrying your mission to vision. Using an external un-biased advisor with years of technical experience, the ability to assess your environment on your terms, and guide you through important choices, will give you additional resource to assist you in such deliberations and speed up your planning process. “One size does not fit all” may be somewhat cliché, but all too often impulsive decisions based on the latest technology are deployed, one that may not properly sized for your operation. For example, virtualization is not right for all environments – what are the implications, can you support it, etc. RDS can help you sort out the large number of available and projected technologies to fit your real long term goals.

- 4. Data Center &Infrastructure Deployments Data Center & Infrastructure Deployments Data Centers are the nexus of IT operations and increasingly are affected by rapid technological changes and growth, server density, redundancy requirements, security, and risk mitigation concerns, to name a few.

- 5. Business Continuity Services Business Continuity Services Most businesses today have one or more IT elements that ‘always need to be up’. This can be a critical application, database, or web service; a storage array, a datacenter, or for those that are global, follow the sun, support multiple locations, etc., their entire IT operation. As technology dependency becomes more and more vital to operations it is imperative that these critical-to-business IT elements be made as fail-safe or redundant as possible. Business continuity is dependent on time, i.e. how long will it be before anyone notices or what duration of an outage can be withstood before it adversely impacts business? The requirements for this vary greatly as do the technologies required to implement and support it, the cost, acceptable level of risk exposure, etc. With the complexity of equipment and component interdependencies that exists in today’s datacenters, servers, networks, and even power sources, it can be a difficult task to sort this all out and/or have time to address it properly. This is especially true when limited resources are available, where main or production issues always take precedence, and so on. Outages can be planned or unplanned, but in either case certain utilities, like email, are expected to be solidly available – always. Business Continuity planning and implementation will ensure that your operations will remain as functional as they need to be around the clock. With the significant technical depth, experience, and technology partnerships that RDS has, especially in mission critical, 7x24 environments, we are well equipped to aid you in your business continuity efforts. Whether you need help architecting High Availability (HA) systems or a Storage Area Network (SAN), implementing database replication or other data duplication to a remote site, backups or network review, we can assist you. We have significant practical depth in the full life cycle of many products and scenarios. Disaster Recovery is a special case of Business Continuity and provides you with an operational alternative in the event of a true disaster (e.g. datacenter is destroyed by fire or a natural disaster causes a blackout in the entire geographical region containing your central office). Planning for these special cases should also be taken into consideration and can also be addressed by RDS as needed.

- 6. SAN Optimization &Consolidation Services SAN Optimization & Consolidation Services RDS offers various SAN optimization services, including Hitachi Data Systems USPV. By introducing tiered level storage and reorganizing applications, RDS can seamlessly optimize your environment. RDS also has expertise in consolidating, merging, and migrating between the various SAN environments offered by all the major vendors on the market. With the year-on-year growth of storage requirements that have become the norm, and the expectation of this trend continuing and perhaps accelerating into the future, it is imperative for operations to have an optimized and consolidated approach to SAN and other data infrastructures. Achieving scalability, while consolidating and controlling these environments, will be, and most likely already is, critically important. RDS subject matter experts have been involved in the design, development, and implemen- tation of a multitude of storage installations for many large enterprises. This is a substantial focus for us and one of our more prominent core competencies. Let RDS know what your needs are, large or small, and we will help you make the right decisions for your current and future environ- ments.

- 7. Data Consolidation &Migration Services Data Consolidation Solutions from RDS Extract, Transform, and Load (ETL) solutions can help with data consolidation initiatives. These solutions extract information from a variety of data sources, transform that data into a common format, and finally load the resulting data into a single data store, or warehouse. With years of experience, RDS has become a recognized expert at transformation; a key component of ETL. Leveraging this expertise, our Professional Services team will help you plan and implement your data consolidation project. ETL and data consolidation projects are staffed by subject-matter experts and typically consist of several stages: Developing content management models to repurpose information assets locked in disparate, incompatible archives. Transforming them to a common format, as selected by you to meet your business requirements. Loading these assets into a common archive. Building your consolidated archive. Data Migration Solutions from RDS With the rise of networked storage infrastructure such as SAN, NAS and ISCSI, data migration is also no longer a simple matter of copying data from one system to another. Migrations have become considerably more complex as storage architectures have shifted from DAS to large-scale network storage topologies involving tens to hundreds of servers and storage volumes with complex physical to logical mappings. This added complexity has made migrations unpredictable to the point where 65% of migrations adversely affect IT operations. With many mid-sized and large storage systems commonly ranging to 100 Terabytes and beyond, in-house migrations have become unattractive economically, especially considering operating risks, strain on staff, etc. Key RDS migration benefits include: Saves Time. Compared to in-house projects, RDS's method is 4-6 times faster, and with a guaranteed delivery schedule. Eliminates Risk. Whether your needs call for online or offline migration, RDS will migrate your data with no unplanned downtime. All migrations are scheduled, checked, and delivered on time, according to a pre-determined schedule. Simplifies Complexity. RDS simplifies migrations with patented, SAN appliance technology that transparently connects hosts and storage systems with automation software that maps and verifies correctness of each migration before it is performed. Maintains Budget. RDS migrations are performed under a fixed-price, service level agreement for on-time completion with a money-back guarantee.
