Virtual Infrastructure Proof of Concept

Having undertaken a capacity-based assessment of the existing server estate and designed the target architecture, the next step in moving to full scale deployment is the implementation of a Proof-of-Concept environment. Implementing a ‘Proof-of-Concept’ is essential in helping you to assess the virtualisation technology in your environment, running your specific applications, according to your specific success criteria.

One of Alpha’s VMware Certified Professionals will work with you to objectively evaluate the technical and commercial benefits achievable through the implementation of VI3, against your specific success criteria - leaving you with a working solution which can be extended, taken into production or used to perform further evaluation, as appropriate.
