In three steps from planning to ongoing operation

1.

Inventory:

Analysis of existing systems

We carry out a comprehensive inventory of your current software and hardware systems. We also analyse your infrastructure to get an accurate picture of your existing technologies and their configurations.

2.

Planning & test phase:

Defining the service scope & processes

In this phase we determine the desired scope of service together with you. We define the service processes and communication channels, consider any special features and add your infrastructure into our support tools, for example by connecting it to our ticket system and taking an inventory of the hardware and software. This is followed by a test phase of about two months, during which we fine-tune the service on an ongoing basis. We also draw up a service contract and comprehensive documentation of the agreed service.

3.

Operation:

Implementation of defined service

After completion of the test phase, we start regular operation. All services are now provided to the agreed service level and you can rely on our professional and reliable service. We are available to you around the clock and ensure that your systems function optimally and meet your requirements.

Customer testimonials

"Amanox is the first Nutanix partner and we can tell. From the beginning, we were always well advised and supported with a good service. For example, we were able to place the regular inspection and maintenance of our Nutanix infrastructure in good hands and thus relieve our own IT operations.

Thanks to the many years of experience and the know-how of the Amanox team, any bugs that occurred could always be solved quickly."
Mathias Tschachtli
Project and ICT Stadt Brugg

Case Study – SBB Cargo

Let us show you how we tackled this scenario with the help of AWS Data Services for our long time customer SBB Cargo.
