Senior Analyst are only offering managed services as their entry level service, however basic colocation
Tier1 Research services suit the small to mid-sized organization’s needs. Customers must be prepared
in Computerworld to have educated conversations with vendors to ensure they are engaging with the right
Magazine,
vendor and the right level of service for the business needs now and in the future.”*

A business recently approached TelePacific with an issue they had experienced, hoping
to avoid it in the future.
The company had a power outage that brought down 25 virtual servers. At shutdown,
each virtual server application file was renamed generically, forcing the company to
allocate three staff members to manually examine each file, rename them back to their
original file names and initiate the rebuild process. In total, the company spent 25 hours
rebuilding the servers, losing:
• 1 full day for 3 technicians
• 1 day of company productivity
• Sales to new customers
• Customer and employee confidence
