IT Infrastructure

IT infrastructure represents one of the largest, if not the largest capital investment and consumer of IT dollars in most enterprises. Tam will perform an in depth inventory and create an investment plan for each major category of IT infrastructure. In most organizations investment dollars are highly controlled and difficult to acquire and thus every dollar needs to be spent on the highest priority investment. This offering can assist you in understanding those priorities with respect to your infrastructure investment. This same information can also assist you in making judgments on the possible impacts associated with different choices in investment reductions or possible shifts to higher priorities.

Virtualization
Readiness

With a "Virtualization Readiness Assessment" (VRA), TAM provides you with a comprehensive evaluation of your current infrastructure to aid in determining whether or not server virtualization is right for you. The VRA process is designed to enable an effective way to evaluate the impact of virtual infrastructure within the environment and to highlight the benefits of virtualization. More specifically, it explores leveraging a virtual infrastructure to address the specific needs of reducing server sprawl, maintaining manageable work capacities, and controlling the direct and downstream costs as a result of server growth and end-of-life server replacement needs. TAM's VRA uses a thorough data collection process to gather information on the existing deployed servers within a given infrastructure. In turn, TAM combines the results from the VRA with experienced consulting and professional services to analyze the information and report the findings.

Virtualization Readiness Assessment deliverables:

- VRA Objectives
