Server & Storage Virtualization & Optimization

Traditionally, technical refresh efforts took a server by server approach, resulting in a proliferation of the core problem – under utilization. Taking a rough approach to the costs, if CPU utilization averages 20%, then $800K of every $1M spent on compute resources is wasted.

The alternative is to implement a virtualization and optimization solution, significantly increasing utilization to a target of approximately 70%, which effectively saves 50% on every dollar spent on compute resources.

Crescent recommends an interactive workshop to define clear and achievable objectives. Our workshops are collaborative working sessions between your business team and Crescent, designed to better understand the current state of your architectural efforts and identify actionable next steps aligned with your business goals. During the workshop, we will work with you to:

• Validate your business requirements
• Outline key technical objectives
• Propose solution project time lines
• Define milestones and resource requirements
• Discuss and identify potential project risks, roadblocks and issues
• Generate an action plan which details next steps

The typical Virtualization workshop is 2 days, with Crescent initiating preparatory work about a week before the workshop and also completing and delivering a post-workshop report.
