Architecture design and
assessment
Typically an architecture
assessment and design has to be done at the very beginning of your
implementation lifecycle. We apply our expertise to help you choose the right
hardware platform for the right workload, assist in the evaluation of vendors,
design your hardware layout and architecture and assist in the evaluation of
vendors.
Essentially this is where
we identify the fits and gaps in your existing architecture. If you are new to
PeopleSoft, this service will prepare you and your IT team to the PeopleSoft
architecture. We work with your hardware vendor, PeopleSoft alliance to put
together a winning architecture design to meet your workload. Our typical
assessment services take three weeks to deliver and have a fixed scope and fixed
price.

Capabilities
- Analysis and review of existing infrastructure
-
We work with your data
center IT team to review the performance and capacity reports to project the
needs for the PeopleSoft implementation. Prior to deciding whether an
existing server can be leveraged for the new PeopleSoft environment, a key
decision has to be made by reviewing the capacity and performance
characteristic of that server.
-
- High performance and high availability
-
Today business
processing requires an uptime of a true 24 x 7, continuous operation. With
applications such as Employee self service and Time and Labor, Travel and
Expenses, Customer Relationship Management, Supply Chain etc every employee
or sometimes even customers and vendors are potential users of the system.
The needs for server power has grown. Performance and availability is
critical.
-
While designing the
system, these requirements have to be factored into the architecture layout.
At the same time, wastage of computing power needs to be eliminated.

Our expertise in Z/OS
parallel sysplex and DB2 Data sharing help you realize a 24 x 7 deployment
in a Z/OS environment. How about the Web Servers and the application
servers?. We can help you choose between the right clustering choice or
content switches. Read our white paper on "High performance and High
availability design for PeopleSoft".

- Hardware evaluation and Sizing
-
Sizing and hardware evaluation is a very
important milestone in your implementation. Sizing is not an accurate
science. You have to visualize the application behavior and usage upfront.
We partner with you and your users to gather the necessary details and work
with the hardware vendor and PeopleSoft alliance to deliver the best
possible hardware platform to meet your workload.

Deliverables
- Phase 1
-
At the end of this phase, you get a
complete report that covers the existing infrastructure, all the identified
technical gaps for your implementation strategy. We meet with your
management team, user community to gather critical project information. A
preliminary architecture design is also furnished which will form the basis
to vendor evaluation.
- Phase 2
-
During this phase, we work with the
hardware vendors to finalize the platform and arrive at the final
architecture. At the end of this phase you get a detailed technical project
plan where critical milestones are identified in order to carry out the
implementation. You can implement this technical project plan without any
modification to your project charter and master plan.
