Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about our infrastructure implementation services
What types of infrastructure solutions does Tridacom implement?
Tridacom provides comprehensive infrastructure implementation services across four primary models: on-premises, cloud infrastructure, hybrid solutions, and edge computing. Our vendor-agnostic approach means we recommend and implement the optimal infrastructure based on your specific business requirements, compliance needs, and growth plans rather than pushing a particular solution. We have expertise across all major platforms including Microsoft Azure, AWS, Google Cloud, VMware, Cisco, Dell EMC, HPE, IBM, and more.
How do your infrastructure implementations ensure data security and compliance?
Security and compliance are integrated into every infrastructure implementation we deliver. Our approach includes implementing robust security controls, proper network segmentation, data encryption, access management, and monitoring capabilities. We design systems to meet specific regulatory requirements including PIPEDA, GDPR, PHIPA, and other Canadian privacy regulations. For businesses requiring formal compliance, we implement infrastructure with required controls for SOC 2, PCI-DSS, and other standards. Our implementations emphasize Canadian data sovereignty when required, ensuring sensitive data remains protected and stored within Canadian borders when necessary.
What is the typical timeframe and process for an infrastructure implementation project?
The timeline for infrastructure implementation varies based on the project's scope, complexity, and your organization's size. Typically, our implementation process follows these phases:
- Assessment and Planning (2-4 weeks): Comprehensive evaluation of your current environment, business requirements, and objectives.
- Design (2-3 weeks): Creating detailed infrastructure architecture and implementation plans.
- Implementation (4-12 weeks): Phased deployment of the infrastructure components.
- Testing and Optimization (2-3 weeks): Rigorous testing and performance tuning.
- Knowledge Transfer and Documentation (1-2 weeks): Training your team and providing comprehensive documentation.
For smaller projects, the entire process might take 2-3 months, while enterprise-wide implementations for larger organizations could extend to 6 months or more. We often recommend a phased approach to minimize business disruption and provide incremental value throughout the project.
How does Tridacom handle migration from legacy systems to new infrastructure?
Migration from legacy systems is a critical aspect of our infrastructure implementation services. We employ a methodical approach that minimizes risk and business disruption. This includes comprehensive pre-migration assessment, data validation, pilot migrations, and thorough testing before full-scale deployment. We develop detailed migration strategies tailored to your specific environment, often implementing parallel systems during transition periods to ensure business continuity. Our team has extensive experience migrating from various legacy platforms to modern infrastructure, with specialized tools and methodologies for workload portability, data migration, and application compatibility testing. We also provide training and support to help your team adapt to the new environment.
What ongoing support do you provide after implementation?
We offer comprehensive post-implementation support to ensure your new infrastructure continues to operate optimally. This includes various support tiers ranging from basic break-fix assistance to proactive managed services with 24/7 monitoring, maintenance, and optimization. All implementations include a warranty period with direct access to the implementation team. For ongoing support, we provide detailed service level agreements (SLAs) with guaranteed response times and resolution targets. Our managed infrastructure services can include performance monitoring, capacity planning, security updates, backup verification, and regular system reviews. We also offer scheduled health checks and strategic technology roadmapping to ensure your infrastructure continues to evolve with your business needs.
How do cloud and hybrid infrastructure solutions impact our costs?
Cloud and hybrid infrastructure solutions typically shift spending from capital expenditure (CapEx) to operational expenditure (OpEx), which can improve cash flow and provide more predictable IT costs. While eliminating some upfront hardware costs, cloud solutions include ongoing subscription fees that scale with your usage. The actual cost impact depends on your specific workloads, growth patterns, and current infrastructure investments. Hybrid approaches often provide the best cost optimization by placing workloads where they're most cost-effective to run. Many organizations see total cost reductions of 15-30% through optimized hybrid implementations that properly balance performance, compliance, and cost considerations. During our assessment phase, we provide detailed cost analyses including TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) and ROI projections to help you make informed decisions.
