Illuminata's "Companion" services help IT customers, developers, and investors maximize their effectiveness in an era that couples rapid technological and business change with relentless industry consolidation and product commoditization.

We offer an enterprise-focused, technically sophisticated, business-savvy perspective on all three phases of the IT lifecycle: Build, Deploy, and Manage.

The Application Strategies Companion investigates products, technologies, and approaches that promise to accelerate application construction, improve quality, deliver better functionality, and otherwise improve the application development task.

The Infrastructure Management Companion covers both the products and the processes that facilitate command of, and control over, the sprawling and rapidly-growing enterprise networks on which organizations depend. It also tracks the evolution of management from an internal IT department function to one that controls factories, oil rigs, remote machinery, and other critical business assets.

The Information Architectures Companion goes beyond a simple review of storage devices and technologies to examine how users need to deploy and access information in the SAN-enabled, network-centric enterprise.

The Computing Foundations Companion evaluates the server architecture, clustering, operating system, and middleware components on which high-scale, mission-critical applications reside. Particular attention is paid to the ongoing transfer of "Big Iron" approaches into volume servers.

The Networked Enterprise Companion covers the gamut of build-deploy-manage issues for customers of networked enterprise computing.
