Virtualized and Un-Virtualized Server Assessments

Are you ready to simplify and streamline your IT infrastructure?

Whether or not your server environment has been virtualized, PCS has the server assessment for you. During these assessments, we securely evaluate IT environments for various platform migrations and virtualization. These assessments provide a comprehensive roadmap to simplify and streamline the IT infrastructure across multiple scenarios.

Un-Virtualized Server Assessment

For un-virtualized data centers with server sprawl, our assessment will do the following:

• Identify all servers in the environment
• Gather statistics of all types on all servers
• Analyze the statistics to determine the ideal consolidation candidates

From this analysis, PCS will propose a solution to streamline the server environment that will result in:

• A 90% reduction in your number of servers, conservatively
• Automatic fail over of applications through virtualization
• Reliable disaster recovery via virtualization

Virtualized Server Assessment

For virtualized data centers, our assessment will do the following:

• Identify all virtualized servers in the environment
• Identify “stale” virtual servers that can be retired
• Identify inefficiencies in virtual client configurations to streamline existing clients
• Analyze the operational readiness and the entire data center environment
• Review best practices and create a complete Run Book document
• Review your upgrade and patch status
• Optimize and tune virtual servers
• Review and enhance your backup policies and your disaster recovery plan

After conducting one or both of these assessments, the PCS team will craft an advanced solution that will ensure a successful virtualization project, as well as a three-year plan to ensure your virtualized environment will support all the new services and technologies you plan to deploy.
