Consolidation Assessment - Overview

The benefits of enterprise virtualization and consolidation are visible to all, but to gain the maximum benefit a high degree of expertise and planning is required.

To accurately assess the virtual/physical requirements for any consolidation project you need tools capable of capturing the relevant performance and planning data and the expertise to interpret this data into actual requirements. Depending on the requirements, this capture and interpretation may be across multiple platforms.

This potential gap in both tools and skills can easily be filled using Metron consultants and our enterprise class performance management software. Our consultants all have cross platform expertise and real world experience in the capacity planning and server sizing disciplines required for accurate consolidation planning.
