VMware Design & Implementation
Having VMware certified engineers on staff, not only can we design the optimal configuration
for your virtualization efforts, we can also go anywhere in the country to successfully
implement your VMware solution.
VMware Assessment Options
Capacity Planning
Gain insight into IT resource utilization and develop a virtualization roadmap for
server containment and consolidation. VMware Capacity Planner can help you plan
for capacity optimization and design an optimal solution to achieve maximum performance.
- Consolidation Estimate (CE) - Optimized for conducting sizing estimates of
a customer’s datacenter environment, CEs provide guidance on what can be achieved
via virtualization and consolidation assessments. CEs offer a simplified, guided
workflow for VMware Capacity Planner with a defined methodology and process for
sales professionals to conduct more sizing and lead generation activity.
- Consolidation Assessment (CA) - Optimized for organizations that want to
conduct a deep-dive analysis into an IT environment. CAs provide a detailed roadmap
on how customers can achieve an optimized, virtualized data center. Capacity Assessments
show the implementation blueprint for actualizing the "to-be" state of
the data center.
Plan & Design Options
Infrastructure Design Planning
When making the decision to create a virtual datacenter, proper planning is essential.
Avoiding the implementation pitfalls that can stall a datacenter migration is the
key to a successful implementation of VMware. A Certified VMware Professional will
plan and design a custom implementation, tailor-made for the goals of your company.
Organizations that are looking to create or expand their virtual environment can
benefit from the optimization of your VMware infrastructure.
VMware Data Recovery
VMware Data Recovery is a simple and complete disk-based backup solution for your
virtual machines. It can help secure your environment be providing fast and efficient
data protection of all of your VM's - even those that are powered off. VMware Data
Recovery is composed of three main components: vCenter Server User Interface, VMware
Data Recovery virtual appliance, and the de-duplicated destination storage. Providing
full backup of virtual machines and full or incremental virtual machine recovery,

on-site installation of up to two ESX hosts and vCenter Converter allows you to
see how VMware is implemented in your environment. VMware Infrastructure Implementation
service will help you mitigate risk and gain valuable training from a VMware Certified
Professional engineer as they install your virtual infrastructure and perform up
to three Physical to Virtual server conversions.
vSphere vCenter Server Implementation
An optional, complimentary component of the VMware Infrastructure Implementation
service is the installation and configuration of VMware vCenter Server. This crucial
management application works as a single point of management for your virtual machines
and additional VMware components such as Site Recovery Manager and VMware Data Recovery.
Installation of vCenter Server and knowledge transfer on how vCenter Server works
in your environment will help accelerate your understanding of how to manage your
virtual environment.
VMware Data Recovery Implementation
As the first line of protection for your company’s vital data, VMware Data Recovery
should be considered an integral part of your virtual environment. This solution
is fully implemented with vCenter Server, enabling central management of both the
