Description: Our VMWare and virtualization experts can guide you through the changes, optimize your licensing costs, and explore alternative solutions – all to ensure you get the most out of your virtual infrastructure through our service offerings. The assessment provides a broad datacenter assessment to identify and prioritize migration-ready workloads with high-level cost estimates to determine feasibility.

Approach

1. Existing VMware Landscape assessment:

· Inventory of VMware products and versions deployed within the organization.

· Identification of critical workloads and dependencies.

Assessment of current licensing terms and costs

· Identify associated dependencies and integrations

· Review current solutions for systems monitoring and management, backup and recovery, data and workload replication, and other core infrastructure solutions

2. Financial Implications:

· Collect and review capacity, performance, and availability metrics

· Identify applications/workloads with special compatibility, vendor support, or placement requirements

· Calculation of the potential cost increase under the new subscription-based model.

· Evaluation of the impact on the organization's IT budget.

· Analysis of any potential cost savings or efficiencies

3. Feasibility of Migration to Azure:

· Assessment of technical compatibility and compatibility with Azure services.

· Evaluation of the migration complexity and potential disruptions.

· Estimation of the migration costs, including infrastructure, licensing, and professional services.

· Evaluation of the potential benefits of migrating to Azure, such as scalability, flexibility, and cost-efficiency

· Outline a future-state infrastructure composed of cloud and/or Microsoft hypervisor solutions

· Data security and compliance: Evaluating Azure's security features and compliance certifications to meet regulatory requirements.

· Integration with existing systems: Assessing the integration capabilities of Azure with the organization's existing IT infrastructure.
