Mosaic’s VMware Virtual Infrastructure Jumpstart service accelerates your VI3 ROI by rapidly deploying your new environment with experienced VMware consultants. Our staff guides you through the VI3 architecture including VirtualCenter 2.0 and ESX 3 while implementing your servers in your environment. When we complete our engagement you’ll have a fully documented production ESX cluster running with your production servers in virtual machines. Your staff will be managing the new environment as they finish the migration.

This is an informal evaluation about how virtualization could impact your environment. Conducted by one of our VM specialists – on site or over the phone — we help you determine the scope of a VM effort in terms of sizing, timing, and budget. We provide this service at no cost to you.
