The assessment follows a prescriptive procedure to ensure accuracy and predictability. The following steps will be completed in order:

Workload Scope

We’ll start with environment type to be scoped (ie. Production or non-production),and get a sense of the size and scale of your workload environment.

Data Collection

Either through hypervisor query tools, or through agents that can be deployed on physical machines. (Hypervisor query tools preferred).

Agentless discovery via remote resource, depending on your environment and operating system. Flat file collection for detailed analysis. Data can be collected within a 5 day window with hypervisor queries. Using agents or manual queries will extend the delivery dates.

Report

NTT DATA will provide a total cost of ownership analysis as well as a license recommendation for your review.
