Key VCF Jumpstart Workshops activities

These workshops are crafted to specifically align to your needs. The following are examples of workshop activities that help provide visibility into your current technology state, best practices, and recommendations to achieve the desired future state.

Cloud Maturity Rating – This assessment evaluates your current private cloud capabilities and compares them with your desired future state. We analyze your cloud environment, prioritize cloud capabilities, and define phases and milestones for delivery. 

Implementation Architecture – Your VMware technology is reviewed to ensure that high-level architectural best practices are in place. We analyze your current architecture and identify any gaps to reach your future state and desired capabilities. We also help you compose a conceptual architecture for your cloud operations.

Adoption Plan – Creating an effective adoption plan is essential for a smooth transition and implementation of VCF. We document a comprehensive adoption plan for your private cloud and recommend actionable steps and activities to ensure that your cloud strategy is not only well-planned, but actionable and sustainable.

Additional Assistance – Continuous improvement helps maintain a competitive edge. Our team will develop recommendations for ongoing cloud integration, management, and optimization in your environment.
