    How We Work

    Multiple systems, applications, and backup and storage requirements all contribute to the complexity of your IT environment. We can develop a strategic approach to the virtualization of your datacenter with consulting offerings. If you already have a specific project in mind, we can put in place an optimal solution with our implementation services. Our first task is to ascertain precisely what you expect from the engagement, and to clarify these requirements before documenting them. The deliverable is a comprehensive report prepared by a highly qualified and experienced consultant (not an automated system). Should you require assistance in implementing some or all of the recommendations in the report, we are able to provide consultants, along with project management for your own staff should you wish to carry out the work yourself under supervision.

    People

    Our consultants are experts, having worked previously in senior roles for the worlds largest and most successful ISP. With an estimated 70% of the Internets traffic passing over their network, they deployed and managed thousands of systems securely for blue-chip Times Top 100 and Fortune 500 customers. We have advised a number of public bodies including the Financial Services Authority and the Criminal Intelligence Units of a major UK police force. Staff are highly referenceable via previous engagements with top 5 Investment Banks, Telcos, Security vendors and ISVs. All our consultants have previously occupied positions of responsibility within organisations where the buck stopped with them for architecture and operations.

    Research And Technology

    In order to keep abreast of the latest developments we maintain a close relationship with virtualization vendors and carefully monitor newsgroups, mailing lists, web sites, and chat rooms. During the execution of our duties we routinely use a mixture of open source, commercial, and in-house developed tools.

    Deliverable

    Our Virtualization Assessment reports are written to be understood and acted upon by our clients. They are approachable, pragmatic, and unambiguous. Each is broken into sections you would expect to find in any high quality management report. This allows the CIO, the Systems Manager, and Technician to immediately turn to the chapter they need to carry out their job effectively. Our consultants are available to explain the reports findings via conference call or in person.
