Our VMware Capacity Planner Assessment service helps you design and size your Virtual Infrastructure deployment. Our staff performs a discovery of your environment and then monitors performance for 30 days. We analyze data collected from this period and build consolidation scenarios based on your environment. When the engagement concludes you will have a fully documented Virtualization Assessment report with a roadmap for migrating to Virtual Infrastructure quickly and easily.
