IO Connect Services - VMware Specific Migration Readiness Assessment

Overview

Using IO Connect Services unique VMware specific on-premise to cloud Migration Readiness Assessment (MRA) approach, we address the business needs and formulate a technology plan after reviewing all aspects of the implementation to attain a thorough, detailed picture of the implementation to provide:

• An understanding of current spend & licensing
• Migration Roadmap including areas for cost optimization, modernization & transformation
• Current hardware deployment and VM sizing
• VMware bloat and sprawl identification
• Estimated savings broken down by approach taken
• Documentation of existing middleware architecture
• Architectural improvement recommendations for security, reliability, cost containment and seasonality
• Formal proposal with preliminary costs, time for migration and ROI timeline by approach

Depending on the size, age, spend and complexity of the implementation IO Connect Services has delivered upwards of 43% savings in year, after migration with modernization & transformation, with typical modernization ROI of 18 months or less

Additionally this assessment will enable you to identify where VMware on AWS, VMC, S3, DynamoDB and more can improve performance, scalability and uptime including the associated cost implications.

Our Approach

IO Connect Services goal is to provide the customer with a reliable, scalable, cost effective architecture where the operational cost is known by workload, identify savings that can be realized immediately upon completion, and where additional savings can be gained through further modernization off VMware.

• 1 Day Workshop to understand business model and objectives, assess current infrastructure, gather licensing and billing information, attain systems access to evaluate archtiecture and VM sizing and deploy necessary tools. Workshop attendees will be expected to be prepared to provide relevant data upon request in areas such as performance, licensing, reliability, cost efficiency, security, compliance, seasonality, team skills and executive sponsor
• 2 Week evaluation and architecture design
• Develop TCO model for present and future architecture options, at a transaction or workload level where applicable
