4 Free Assessments That Will Promote Your Data Center Transformation
Data center transformation isn’t just a buzz-phrase nor is it merely a to-do list box to be checked off once and forgotten about. Instead, it’s a continuous process, one which IT must remain vigilant 
for new ways to apply. Finding these fresh approaches can prove difficult, particularly for time-strapped technology departments. However, with the help of a partner like Arraya Solutions, these opportunities can be more easily spotted.
Arraya’s strategy for furthering the cause of data center transformation includes offering multiple VMware-based software-defined data center assessments. Organizations of all sizes and industries can leverage one or more of these assessments to uncover new places where data center transformation can take hold. Here’s a quick overview of these assessments and what business can expect from each:
- Virtual Network Assessment – This roughly three-day-long assessment looks at the various ways traffic traverses the corporate network. Its chief concern is shedding light on security vulnerabilities within these traffic flow patterns while also providing IT teams with ways to address those concerns through additional visibility and microsegmentation.
- Hybrid Cloud Assessment – In just four hours, this assessment can detail an effective organizational cloud strategy. It does this by providing estimates on the cost of housing selected workloads in the cloud versus keeping them on premises. Additionally, it can show businesses how to optimize their cloud strategy to ensure it fits designated budgetary goals.
- vSphere Optimization Assessment – Over the course of anywhere from one to four weeks, the vSphere Optimization Assessment will dig in to an organization’s existing virtualized environment. The length of the assessment varies depending on a business’s goals as well as the size of its virtualized environment. Upon its conclusion, participants will receive a customized report documenting the ways in which they can improve the capacity, performance, and efficiency of their virtual machines.
- vSAN Assessment – The goal of this three-day assessment is storage modernization. It analyzes existing virtual machines and determines whether or not their designated workloads are enough to require an all-flash arrangement or if a hybrid configuration would be sufficient. Additionally, this assessment can also suggest hardware upgrades needed to support these recommendations. Participants can come away from this assessment with a more advanced storage environment and CapEx/OpEx savings.
