Virtualization Assessments

How high should you raise the bar on infrastructure performance? The complex and dynamic nature of the evolving datacenter means that what was once acceptable availability and performance–no longer is. But, how high should you raise the bar on infrastructure performance? What investments are necessary to provide a stable, yet agile foundation to support future growth? The best approach to rationalize infrastructure investments begins with evaluating the current environment based upon the evolving needs and priorities of the organization and its end-users.

Virtualization Assessments enable improved business results Pomeroy Virtualization is a comprehensive series of end to end services–from baseline assessment to design and deployment of a software defined datacenter. Our analysis of your infrastructure and application workloads establishes hardware and software needs and application compatibility. These insights are the foundation upon which to build a sound business case and engineer client-centric solutions based upon industry-leading technologies. Pomeroy Virtualization Assessments benchmark and evaluate an organization’s readiness to initiate or expand infrastructure virtualization based upon business objectives, IT strategy, workload profile and security requirements. For clients in early stage technology adoption, the analysis identifies gaps between your current environment and desired infrastructure goals. Conversely, clients who have already achieved a significant level of virtualization benefit from a current evaluation of their user communities and use case classifications. By utilizing the most effective data collection and analysis techniques, Pomeroy removes the guesswork that frequently influences solution decisions, resulting in performance issues due to inadequate solutions. Pomeroy Virtualization Assessments are critical building blocks that help IT organizations ensure effective virtualization deployment–agility, scalability and capacity at a lower total cost of ownership.

High performance workplaces start with a virtualization assessment

Pomeroy performs comprehensive and targeted assessments tailored to meet the client’s specific objectives and unique business needs. Assessments are conducted as part of an optimization workshop during which we define critical business requirements, benchmark current capabilities, and perform in-depth analysis.

• Structured review of key business drivers, workload profiles and end-user needs

• Comprehensive analysis of environment health, current user demand, capability gaps and bottlenecks

• Evaluation of client needs based upon its unique situation with methodology tailored for the requirements of that engagement

• Virtual machine modeling for a virtualized infrastructure solution or solution upgrade

• Presentation of the Virtualization Roadmap, a detailed deployment plan with recommendations, prioritized actions, resource requirements, timelines and costs

The three-phase assessment methodology typically requires an average of six weeks, depending on client objectives and project scope.
