Steadfast Cloud Consulting Day: Oct. 8th

September 19, 2014 in
Our Customers
The Cloud
Events

Cloud is a popular buzzword. Everyone is talking about moving to the cloud - but it seems as discussion increases, confusion and misinformation grows. There are so many things to consider when you're deciding to move to the cloud. Security, space, accessibility - it's daunting.

We want to help clear the confusion around Cloud. We are holding our very first open Cloud Consulting Day on Wednesday, October 8th. Appointments will be available from 9 am CST through 9 PM CST. Those interested should sign up for a time slot here: Cloud Consulting Day

This is about personalized education. A steadily increasing number of organizations are moving their data to the cloud, but there are several things to consider beforehand. Our CEO Karl Zimmerman, and Implementation Engineers Marc Schulz and Patrick Murray, will hold 30 minute meetings to discuss how you can migrate your business to the cloud, answer security questions, and serve as a resource to educate the business community about the cloud.

Meetings will take place at Steadfast – 800 S Wells St., Suite 190, Chicago IL 60607. Meetings will also be available via GoToMeeting (or other Web Conference solutions), and over the phone.

In order to guide a meaningful, personalized discussion, answers to the following questions will help: 

  • How does your existing IT infrastructure run your business?
  • Do you require any sort of security compliance?
  • How much downtime do you experience on a regular basis? What impact does downtime have on your business?
  • Do you have any issues managing your infrastructure? If so, what are they? Is your staff 24/7?
  • How many servers comprise your existing infrastructure? What are their specs? (Including: Processors, Memory, Storage)
  • Do you have any dedicated storage devices in your environment? (SAN, NAS, etc.)
  • Are you currently using virtualization in your existing environment? If so, what hypervisor platform are you utilizing?
  • What operating systems are running on your servers? If Linux, what do they run? (LAMP, etc.) If Windows, what do they run? (SQL, Active Directory, Exchange, etc.)
  • What are your current backup and disaster recovery plans?
  • Do you have currently have any limitations caused by your IT infrastructure (inability to upgrade software, process orders, etc.)? What amount of work/labor does it takes to maintain that infrastructure? What is your IT team like?

If you have any questions about our questions, we're also happy to talk through it. Interested? Sign up for a meeting here: Cloud Consulting Day
