TechAlpha is an industry analyst and management consulting firm focused on storage, virtualization, business applications, cloud computing and the next generation data center.

We serve enterprise IT executives on better aligning IT infrastructure and applications with business needs:

  • Understanding key supply side trends (e.g., technology evaluation)
  • Planning and developing an IT services catalog (e.g., platform choices, target costing)
  • Assessing current and future internal demand patterns (e.g., requirements definition)
  • IT sourcing optimization (e.g., volume concentration, best price bidding, changes to specs, restructuring vendor relationships)
  • IT operating expenditure reductions

For a briefing on squeezing more business value out of your IT assets, please contact us under info@techalpha.com.  Recent briefings to Chief Information Officers, Infrastructure VPs, Application VPs and Enterprise Architects include:

  • Leveraging Virtualization: How to minimize capex in new deployments while leveraging the virtualization platform to generate cost savings and resiliency in areas such as business continuity, data bases and middleware
  • Applying Early Lessons from Enterprise Clouds: How standardization, automation and on-demand consumption models further reduce TCO in a virtualized environment.  How remaining barriers to managing infrastructure and applications as end-to-end services can be addressed, notably for running business critical applications from a cloud
  • Overcoming Legacy Storage Limitations: How modularization, storage efficiency, flash solid state disk and the rise of scale-out architectures change the economics of managing data growth
