Virtualisation Assessment

The virtualisation process starts with a Virtualisation Assessment Phase. This Phase collects, analyses and reports on information taken from the current physical environment to determine the suitability and sizing for the deployment of a VMware virtual infrastructure solution.

The results from the assessment are used to develop a Project Scope detailing virtualisation options, project costs and business Return-On-Investment (ROI) trend analysis. The analysis reports on critical insights and offers decision support for the implementation of a solution as well as providing an adoption lifecycle roadmap for your virtualisation environment.

A Virtualisation assessment looks deep into business-critical IT processes, such as business continuity, server containment, application deployment, and infrastructure management to identify opportunities to meet these ongoing challenges through a VMware Server virtual infrastructure solution.

The Key steps taken in the Virtualisation Assessment Phase are:

 Assessment and analysis of the current environment to Identify systems suitable for virtualisation based on a firm understanding of the business requirements.

 Historical and real-time Collection of Processor, Disk, Network & Memory statistics from the current environment for capacity planning and virtualisation capability assessment.

 Development of a Project Scope detailing virtualisation options, adoption lifecycle roadmap, solution diagrams and project costings for a choice of VMware Server designs for the infrastructure based on the customers needs.
