That is why we designed and developed our data centre Requirements Analysis Workshop (RAW), a fast and efficient way of conducting the necessary ground work. RAW is a 1 day workshop, usually held at the clients\u2019 premises, attended by all interested parties including IT, Estates, Facilities, Finance and other key stakeholders for the project. Its aim? To facilitate open discussion and provide a best practice approach to risk assessment and requirements gathering prior to full data centre design. The outcome is a solid foundation for the next stages of the project.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ text_font=”Soleil Regular||||||||” text_line_height=”20px” header_3_font=”Soleil Bold|700||on|||||” header_3_text_color=”#0C435E” header_3_font_size=”30px” header_3_line_height=”35px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n The end result of the data centre requirements analysis and RAW process is a thorough understanding of all the drivers, constraints and objectives impacting on the eventual data centre project.
