Server Consolidation Assessment
Server consolidation is a compelling solution for organisations challenged to increase productivity, reduce operating costs, minimise complexity and improve the predictability of their IT infrastructure. Richardson Eyres provides focused server consolidation assessment services that intelligently measure the capacity utilisation of your infrastructure, identify opportunities for consolidation and deliver a virtualisation roadmap for effective server consolidation and containment.
As one of a small number of VMware Consulting Partners, Richardson Eyres is authorised by VMware to provide a comprehensive set of consultancy services and enable clients to understand how the benefits of VMware technology can be realised in an effective manner.
Richardson Eyres/VMware server consolidation assessment services allow you to analyse, benchmark and predict capacity utilisation, providing far greater insight into your IT infrastructure. Furthermore, these services help identify opportunities for consolidation and model various technological scenarios such as infrastructure virtualisation. On completion of the assessment, clients are presented with clearly articulated scenario outcomes, TCO analysis and validated recommendations in the form of focused assessment reports that vary in scope and detail, depending on the type of service that is selected.

What types of services are offered?
Richardson Eyres Consulting offers two levels of standard server consolidation assessments to address your needs:
- Capacity Assessment - This service discovers your server workload inventory and utilisation within a limited scope of servers to provide an overview of consolidation opportunities. It delivers a preliminary estimate of virtualisation requirements and is an ideal solution to assist with the initial sizing of your consolidation project.
- Virtualisation Assessment - This service goes beyond a Capacity Assessment by analysing a broader scope of servers to determine, in detail, the potential costs and realised savings involved in consolidating existing physical IT infrastructure onto a VMware virtual platform. Richardson Eyres Consulting can also design and deliver a customised Virtualization Assessment fully tailored to your specific environment and needs. The scope of this service and project deliverables are determined through a detailed statement of work.
What value do these services provide?
With technology leadership, domain expertise, proven virtualisation methodology and world-class training and support, Richardson Eyres/VMware's server consolidation assessment services deliver these key benefits:
- Faster, more accurate IT assessments
- Unprecedented visibility into your IT infrastructure and server consolidation opportunities
- A clear and tangible roadmap for server virtualisation and consolidation
- Richardson Eyres consultants then work with your team to develop a deployment and migration programme, utilising not only the contents of the report, but the considerable experience we have amassed over a number of years of large scale VMware deployments
