Overview

Using IO Connect Services unique VMware specific Optimization Licencing Assessment (OLA) approach, all aspects of the on premise (or colocated) deployment will be evaluated attain a thorough, detailed view of the implementation to provide:

• An evaluation of current spend in licensing and infrastructure
• Identification of potential bloat and sprawl for removal
• Recommendations for cost reduction in licensing & physical infrastructure
• Estimated savings broken down by approach taken
• High-Level Documentation of existing VMware architecture
• Recommendations for architectural improvement for security, reliability, cost containment and seasonality
• Formal proposal with preliminary costs and time for optimization
• Estimated ROI timeline

Depending on the size, age, spend and complexity of the implementation IO Connect Services has delivered upwards of 43% savings in year, after the cost of optimization - practically self-fuding a migration

Additionally this assessment will enable you to identify where VMware on AWS (VMC), S3, DynamoDB, Serverless Computing 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 an understanding of current, near term and future costs with associated ROI timeline for a deployment on the final approach taken.

• 1 Day Workshop to understand business model and objectives, assess current infrastructure, gather licensing and billing information, attain systems access for a quick review of architecture and sizing. 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
• 2-3 Week data gathering and evaluation
• Develop TCO model for present and future architecture & licensing optimization options with associated ROI timeline
