Summary
In the Deploy phase, the Pure Storage Advanced Services team helps organizations implement, integrate, and operationalize their data infrastructure.
The journey to a modern, high-performance data platform doesn’t end with strategic planning. Execution is critical—and without the right expertise, deployments can be slow, complex, and disruptive. Many businesses struggle with operational inefficiencies, unexpected downtime, and technical roadblocks during transformation.
Pure Storage Advanced Services experts ensure that digital transformation is executed with precision, minimal risk, and maximum efficiency. Our Deploy phase brings architectural plans to life, enabling organizations to implement, integrate, and operationalize their data infrastructure with confidence.
Common Deployment Challenges
- Operational and ITSM integration is a critical aspect of successful deployment. This involves meticulously aligning new technology solutions with an organization’s established IT infrastructure, processes, and protocols. It’s not simply about installing software or hardware but ensuring it seamlessly integrates into the existing IT service management framework, which includes incident management, change management, problem management, and service request fulfillment. This integration guarantees that the new solutions are managed and supported effectively within the existing IT operational environment, preventing disruptions, ensuring smooth workflows, and maintaining consistent service delivery.
- Adoption and knowledge gaps present a significant challenge during technology deployment. It’s not enough to simply install new systems; IT teams must fully understand and embrace these changes to maximize their benefits. Knowledge gaps can hinder effective utilization, leading to underperformance and a failure to achieve desired outcomes. Therefore, comprehensive training programs, tailored to the specific roles and responsibilities within the IT team, are essential. This training should cover not only the technical aspects of the new technology but also the associated best practices for operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting. Additionally, creating and disseminating clear documentation, operational runbooks, and providing ongoing support ensures that IT teams can confidently and effectively leverage the new technology, leading to successful adoption and realization of the technology’s full potential within the organization.
- Complex, high-risk migrations: Transitioning from outdated legacy systems to modern data platforms involves intricate processes. These migrations are considered high-risk due to the potential for data loss, system downtime, and business disruptions. They often entail moving large volumes of critical data, reconfiguring applications, and integrating new systems with existing infrastructure. The complexity arises from dependencies between systems, varied data formats, and the need to maintain operational continuity throughout the transition. A successful migration requires meticulous planning, robust testing, and expert execution to minimize risks and ensure a seamless transition without impacting ongoing business operations.
How Pure Storage Advanced Services Ensures Success
Our Deploy phase covers every aspect of transformation execution, from implementation and integration to adoption and governance.
1. Implement and Operationalize
We go beyond simply deploying new solutions—we embed them into the fabric of daily business operations to ensure lasting impact. This comprehensive process includes:
- Solution configuration and validation: Tailoring system settings and parameters to align with business requirements, followed by rigorous testing and validation to ensure performance, functionality, and user readiness prior to go-live.
- Seamless deployment execution: Coordinating technical teams and business stakeholders to manage rollout timelines, mitigate risk, and ensure minimal disruption during transition to production environments.
- IT service management (ITSM) integration: Aligning new systems with existing ITSM frameworks, including incident response protocols and change management processes, to support operational continuity and governance.
- Security and compliance by design: Embedding industry best practices and regulatory requirements into solution architecture, ensuring data protection, access controls, and auditability from day one.
2. Execute Transformation and Drive Adoption
Successful transformation extends beyond technical implementation—it requires empowering people and processes to fully embrace change. Our approach ensures that organizations not only transition smoothly but also thrive with new systems in place. This includes
