Server Virtualisation Assessment Service

Do you need to virtualise your entire infrastructure? For some providers keen to win your business, the message may be that all of your infrastructure must be virtualised.

But most importantly, you need to be aware that the level of virtualisation is determined by your infrastructure needs and workload spread across the organisation.

Addressing the challenge
The challenge is to gain an unbiased view of your infrastructure and - through capacity planning - a view of what it could look like if virtualisation is implemented. At Keltec, we design a balance between the best TCO and performance levels and only virtualise the necessary and practical elements of your infrastructure.

Service outline
Our Server virtualisation assessment service evaluates your current infrastructure, calling on our virtualisation capacity planning tools and the know-how and expertise of our Professional Services consultants. In short:

  • We provide an unbiased and vendor-independent view of the resource utilisation of your current infrastructure.
  • We advise and report on exactly how virtual you actually need to be.
  • We use our virtualisation model tailored to your specific infrastructure needs.
  • We will provide you with a real world TCO difference between your current and proposed virtualised infrastructure, outlining how much you can realistically save after implementation.

Service delivery

  • Over a period of up to 30 days, and covering previously agreed peak business periods, we gather data from your server infrastructure. Working closely with you, we then analyse and model a virtualised environment.
  • We provide a Gap analysis and we document your existing infrastructure.
  • We deliver a virtualisation workshop in which we will review the findings and – again working with you – we plan your virtualisation needs and advise on the best way forward for your infrastructure.

Service benefits

  • The confidence of knowing a competent partner is working with you for your virtualisation needs, with the experience, expertise and tools to deliver on time and to expectations.
  • An unbiased, independent identification and view of your existing infrastructure, giving you a clear understanding of your current and potential virtualised environment.
  • A definition of your actual virtualisation needs aligned to your business, thanks to our thorough capacity planning and assessment workshop
  • The assurance of knowing you can trust the experience that Keltec brings to the discovery and capacity planning phase.
