comdivision is the specialist for assisting service providers with their existing IT infrastructure and measuring their readiness to transition to VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF). Our evaluations include a remote and comprehensive assessment of hardware, network, software, skillsets, and operational procedures. The goal is to deliver actionable insights and recommendations to facilitate a seamless migration to VCF, amidst evolving licensing requirements.
The evolving VMware and Broadcom licensing landscape presented significant hurdles for Cloud Service Providers (CSPs) exploring VCF adoption. Evaluating the readiness of an existing IT infrastructure - both technically and operationally - requires an in-depth analysis. The complexity of aligning hardware, software, skillsets, and operational processes with VCF requirements necessitates detailed evaluations and strategic planning.
To tackle these challenges, comdivision conducts a comprehensive assessment of the IT infrastructure. Over the course of six workshops, this evaluation yields a 20-page, detailed document. This report provided:
· A deep-dive analysis of the architectural changes required for seamless integration with VCF.
· A breakdown of necessary investments in IT infrastructure and server upgrades.
· A comprehensive financial impact assessment for migrating to VCF.
This tailored roadmap empowered the service provider with insights into architectural transitions, resource requirements, and financial considerations. This serves as a blueprint for the transition to VCF.
With the assessment report and comdivision’s guidance, the service provider is now equipped to collaborate on designing the target VCF solution. Building on the assessment’s insights, comdivision will work closely with the customer to refine the architecture, ensuring it aligns with VCF requirements and the goals of the Broadcom Service Provider Partnership.
comdivision's successful execution of assessment services highlights the value of strategic planning and careful analysis in transitioning to VMware Cloud Foundation.
In the next stage, comdivision’s design packages for a CSP VCF environment will be utilized to get a clear architectural target.
