A solution shaped around your work.
Consolidating workloads changes where resource and availability dependencies sit. Host sizing, storage access and recovery arrangements must account for several services sharing infrastructure, while application support and licensing are checked before moving existing workloads.
What this service covers
- Workload sizing and host-resource planning
- Virtual network and storage configuration
- Virtual-machine deployment and access setup
- Backup integration and recovery validation
We confirm the selected equipment, responsibilities and deliverables in your project proposal before work begins.
How we deliver the work
- 01
Assess the environment
Review the site, connected devices, existing configuration and application dependencies. Identify the physical access and operational constraints that affect the work.
- 02
Plan and implement
Agree the design, equipment compatibility and change window. Carry out the installation or configuration with a clear record of the agreed changes.
- 03
Verify and hand over
Check the relevant connections and business functions against the agreed scope. Record results, remaining dependencies and the information needed for ongoing administration.
A clear handover
Agree the records your team needs to operate and maintain the solution. Depending on the selected scope, these can include:
- Relevant configuration and equipment records
- Agreed functional checks and findings
- Administration guidance and support responsibilities
What to prepare for your project
Share current workloads, application support requirements, host hardware and storage details so platform suitability, licensing dependencies and migration or deployment stages can be reviewed.
Discuss this serviceYour questions, answered
Do virtual machines remove the need to plan physical server capacity?
No. Virtual machines share physical processing, memory, storage and network resources. Capacity planning must consider combined demand and maintenance needs, while backup and recovery arrangements should address the impact of a host becoming unavailable.
What information helps plan network capacity?
Share a floor plan, user count, connected devices and business applications. Include planned cameras, access points and IP phones so connections, power and network separation can be considered together.
How will the agreed installation be checked?
Define the relevant connection and application checks before work starts. Ask for labels, configuration records and test findings appropriate to the scope so your team can manage later changes.
How do we prepare for work on an existing system?
Identify the system owner, authorized administrator and critical applications. Confirm available backups and any change window before work begins. Access credentials should be exchanged only through an agreed secure method, never in the enquiry form.
