Why should I do an assessment and how does it work?

Why should I do this assessment?

Without the performance data of the existing IT server landscape, no cost statements can be made.

Each cloud provider has a variety of Compute and Storage profiles that depends on average utilization, peak values, and storage environment like IOPS.

Ultimately, it is a question of costs, which can vary by up to 80% depending on the method of the survey.

How does it work?

The data is carried out with a special tool for this use case. We have been working with MOVERE for 4 years, now this tool has been adopted by Microsoft.

The prerequisite for using this tool is to release Microsoft for this assessment. In the meantime, we have carried out over 40 projects with Movere. Company sizes ranged from 100 to 27,000 servers.

Project Scope Definition​

Together we define the scope of the project. Important parameters for us are the number of data centers and the number of target systems.
Are other external partners involved? e.g. an external data center operator?

Paperwork

In this phase, we clarify the costs or the assumption of the costs for this project. We are preparing a Letter of Engagement (LoE) describing the project and defining the services.
We clarify the activation of necessary licenses and agree on a common schedule.

Setup/Installation​

Together, we define a suitable setup for your company in order to be able to carry out the data collection with Movere.
After completing the preparations we carried out the Movere setup through our support, remotely.

Data Collection​

The system first performs an inventory of the target systems. Subsequently, performance data is collected over the previously defined period.
After the data collection is complete, we create a final presentation where the main key points are summarized (different cost scenarios, recorded systems, other findings). In addition, we prepare a workbook. In this workbook, all systems are recorded with all the necessary information. We present the determined performance data and determine the appropriate Azure profiles.
