Server Virtualization Capacity Planning Assessment Service

You may have heard about the many benefits of server virtualization but how do you know if and to what degree these benefits can positively affect your server environment? The only way to be certain is conduct a capacity planning assessment.

The MCPc Virtualization Capacity Planning Assessment identifies the current servers in your environment that are good candidates for virtualization, as well as any upgrades that need to be made to your existing infrastructure.

Service Details

A server virtualization project typically runs concurrently with a physical server consolidation since the acquisition of new server hardware is often recommended and necessary.

First, an MCPc assessment specialist is assigned to work with your designated IT staff administrator. The specialist uses sophisticated tools and a dedicated PC on your network to collect server data.

It usually takes about two weeks to observe and identify utilization metrics and performance trends. Once the data is collected, your specialist reviews the data and prepares a detailed assessment report.

This report illustrates which servers are ideally suited for virtualization and which are not. Furthermore, the report arranges proposed workloads on virtualization host servers.

Finally, very accurate hardware, software and service quotes are created so you can clearly see the ROI and efficiency benefits that the proposed virtualized server environment offers.
