Forsythe Technology Case Study: A Major Book, Music, and Home Entertainment Retailer

Overview The director of IT at a major book, music, and home entertainment retailer recognized that the company's data center was approaching capacity. In addition to being nearly out of space for new equipment, the facility had "Hot spots," making it difficult to maintain a consistent temperature. The facility also lacked a backup generator and a comprehensive universal power source. As a baseline for drafting a new plan and compiling the business case, Forsythe began by performing a detailed assessment of the current state of the data center facility's strengths and weaknesses, including interviews and photographs.
