We take into consideration all aspects of today’s IT infrastructure and capacity planning issues:

• Hardware - all too often, performance bottlenecks occur when inadequate hardware is selected at the outset, resulting in costly changes down the line. So it's important to understand system requirements thoroughly prior to selecting hardware for implementation.
• Compute - when calculating compute requirements, Derive researches cloud solutions, hosting needs and security measures that make sense for each organization's needs. The planning process takes into account how those solutions will scale if needed in the future and what risks may be posed to critical information.
• Network - network scalability is critical as new applications or services are added to keep up with changing user demands or trends in technology. Furthermore, designing proper network availability ensures users have uninterrupted access through the incorporation of redundancy strategies for hotfixes, troubleshooting, and other maintenance tasks for all connected devices.
