Virtualization Assessment
What is a Virtualization Assessment?
Harness the power of your vSphere, Hyper-V, and Nutanix Virtual Environment
Let our engineers analyze your virtual environment
Platforms like VMware vSphere, Microsoft Hyper-V, and Azure VMs provide robust solutions for virtualizing workloads across various environments.
Crossconnect Engineering specializes in analyzing these virtualization technologies, focusing on key areas such as storage efficiency, version management, administrative oversight, and reliability features like DRS and HA.
Why Should You be concerned?
What happens if one of the hosts in your cluster fails, or you lose a switch port? Are your hosts and management platform up to date with security patches for the latest vulnerabilities? The virtualization experts at Crossconnect can help you with all of it. Move into a state of maximized performance, reliability, scalability and security.
WHAT WE DO
Our Comprehensive Virtualization Approach
Crossconnect’s Virtualization Experts Will:
Examine Storage: Analyze storage usage, implement efficient storage allocation strategies, and recommend improvements to enhance performance and reduce costs. We analyze your storage configuration to make sure that VMs are running on the right datastores and storage devices.
Manage Software Versions: Ensure your virtualization platforms are up-to-date with the latest patches and versions, addressing security vulnerabilitiesand leveraging new features. When is the last time you comprehensively patched your hypervisors and management platform? In 2023, thousands of hosts running vSphere ESXi were compromised and ransomed, using vulnerabilities that had already been addressed and patched by VMware in years prior. With properly deployed high availability solutions, there’s no need to impact production workloads! Crossconnect will analyze your systems, document the patches needed, and provide a plan for remediation.
Perform Administrative Checks: Review administrative access, resource allocations, and performance metrics to identify and address potential issues proactively. Any virtualization environment can get complex quickly. We review your resource allocations, everything from vCPUs and Memory to Networking and Administrative Access.
Examine Reliability with DRS/HA: With virtualization, a single piece of server hardware can introduce a single point of failure. With host clustering and technologies like HA and DRS, VMs can manually or automatically move to another host if one fails or is administratively taken offline. This provides tremendous flexibility for system administrators, allowing them to take a host offline while security updates are applied, software upgraded, or hardware maintained. Crossconnect will examine your high availability configuration and confirm it is set up properly; if it is not, we will provide a comprehensive remediation plan.
