Our enterprise infrastructure assessments currently include data center, network and security.
The right decisions begin with clarity.
Dual Phase Approach
Deliverables of Every Paid Assessment Include:
– Executive Summary
– Top Level Findings + Recommendation
– Inventory of As-Built Environment
Data Center Assessments
AIX Assessment
Even though organizations run their businesses on an AIX platform, they often do not have trained personnel, refined processes and the right tools to maintain a virtual environment.
The AIX Assessment is specifically designed to provide documentation, analysis and evaluation of the physical and logical aspects of the AIX infrastructure, network topology and relevant configurations.
Power Server: HMC, VIOS, LPARs (AIX)
Even though organizations run their businesses on the POWER platform, they often do not have trained personnel, refined processes and the right tools to maintain a environment.
The POWER Server Assessment is specifically designed to provide documentation, analysis and evaluation of the physical and logical aspects of the POWER Server infrastructure, HMC, VIO servers, and any LPARs running AIX, network topologies and relevant configurations.
Power HA: High Availability
The POWER HA Assessment will help your organization reduce the risk of downtime, lost productivity, and potential data loss.
Our dual-phase approach is designed to ensure maximum effectiveness, as we gain core insights in Phase I, which provides clear direction for a deep-dive in Phase II. In each phase, we provide a comprehensive report to clearly document and explain your technical infrastructure. In addition, we deliver recommendations for remediation such as how to modify system configurations, and other necessary changes to best ensure a fast and reliable experience for your organization’s users.
Virtualization: Environment
As organizations adopt virtualization, their network and systems become increasingly more dynamic and complex. Often, these organizations do not have trained personnel, refined processes and the right tools to implement and maintain a virtual environment.
The Virtualization Assessment is specifically designed to provide expert documentation, analysis and evaluation of the physical and logical aspects of the virtualized infrastructure, network topology and relevant configurations.
Power Server: HMC, VIOS, LPARs (IBMi)
Even though organizations run their businesses on the POWER platform, they often do not have trained personnel, refined processes and the right tools to maintain an IBMi environment.
The POWER Server Assessment is specifically designed to provide documentation, analysis and evaluation of the physical and logical aspects of the POWER Server infrastructure, HMC, VIO servers, and any LPARs running IBMi, network topologies and relevant configurations.
IBMi Assessment
Even though organizations run their businesses on an IBMi platform, they often do not have trained personnel, refined processes and the right tools to maintain a virtual environment.
The IBMi Assessment is specifically designed to provide documentation, analysis and evaluation of the physical and logical aspects of the IBMi infrastructure, network topology and relevant configurations.
Storage: Infrastructure
The well designed, configured and maintained storage infrastructure is one of the most critical components that contributes to the successful operation of an organization. The impact of system downtime or data loss to an organization is often measured in the millions. Over time, the changes to the overall environment threaten the ability of the storage to non-disruptively perform for the hosts and clients utilizing the storage. Code upgrades, fabric changes, new host implementations, virtualization upgrades, etc., all contribute to the risk that needs to be identified and mitigated to maintain a solid infrastructure.
Network Assessments
IP & Ethernet: Network
Stable network infrastructure provides a foundation for business applications. Over time, the network changes – Has your documentation kept pace? Subnets come and go, VLANs sprawl, WAN links change, organic attrition pulls institutional knowledge out the door. Config drift, tribal knowledge, undocumented deployments, and more, all impact organizational readiness to build, scale, optimize, and remediate the network. Ensure smooth operations for the lifecycle of your network, by investing in actionable information about your environment.
Security Assessments
Security Checkup
Organizations face the ever-increasing challenge of securing/ protecting their data and systems from cyber threats whether on-prem, for SaaS applications, or in the cloud. To meet this challenge, many organizations end up with dozens of security point-products that don’t communicate with each other and are often incompletely/improperly configured. This results in the reduced effectiveness of cybersecurity controls and increased risk to the organization. To help prevent this, organizations should perform a periodic security checkup to assess their current overall cybersecurity health and the effectiveness of their cybersecurity controls.
