The INNOVEX virtualization process is based on providing the best solution for your specific IT infrastructure environment and business needs.
Assessment
The first step is to perform a thorough assessment of your current IT state and your business strategies and goals.
- Provide a questionnaire for you to fill out on IT specifics
- Evaluate hardware, software and network environments
- Catalog your servers, operating systems and apps
- Collect current and desired performance metrics
- Understand your current virtualization strategies and activities
- Be apprised of any business regulations, business strategies or objectives that would impact virtualization
Plan Presentation
Utilizing the assessment and other data collected, the meeting will present:
- Consolidation scenarios as optional choices
