VMware™ Operational Readiness and Best Practices
Today’s IT environment demands agility in responding

What if you could snap your fingers and get the IT services you need right
away? With CDI’s VMware Operational Readiness solution, the right
IT assets are readily at hand, improving business performance,

Changing the Way Your
Data Center Conducts Business
CDI's high availability solution is designed to help you understand the requirements
and process involved in migrating physical servers into a consolidated virtual
environment using VMware’s virtual infrastructure software. CDI consultants
have the expertise to identify the best solutions for your environment and
the experience needed to develop and implement it right the first time. We
will work with you to analyze your existing environment and make recommendations
as to what the target environment should look like.
Many enterprises
have chosen VMware software to gain efficiency and operational flexibility
but the policies and procedures that are currently in place are centered
around physical servers or are not present at all. Commonly within
most organizations, deployment is limited to isolated areas such
as QA and Development only, due to the lack of knowledge of the environment
as well as policies and procedures around the solution. To benefit
from the capabilities that the virtual infrastructure offers, enterprises
need clear guidance to assess their existing systems and applications,
and then use that knowledge to plan, build and manage their infrastructure.

include:
 |
Server
Provisioning |
