TAS is fully VMware certified with the knowledge and experience to provide global
solutions to implement virtualisation in your environment.
Our VMware Virtualisation Approach
TAS' follows the following simple steps in deploying a PlateSpin/ESX solution for
you.
- Physical server information compilation (physical and performance audits
of servers to migrate to virtual machines)
- Development of configuration management policy (creation of configuration
recommendations against TAS best practices)
- Analysis of physical server information (Analysis of audit and server requirements)
- Desired target virtual environment design (Design of the virtual infrastructure
to comply with company IT policies; virtualisation strategy & roadmap)
- Design review and signoff (Review with client and obtain approval to go-ahead)
- Deployment plan creation (Development of plan to project manage the deployment
of the migration)
- Deployment signoff and go-ahead (Review with client, confirm budget and schedule;
obtain approval to go ahead)
- PlateSpin / ESX build (Procurement of hardware; development testing; ESX OS installation;
additional configuration e.g. SAN)
- Virtual machine creation / physical server migration (Creation of virtual
machine; creation of templates (as required); physical-to-virtual conversion;
additional configuration e.g. restoration of data)
- Testing and certification (system testing; environmental testing; user acceptance
testing)
- Operation (Hand over to production; project sign-off; training)
