Cloud Assessment

The first step in any technology implementation is to assess the business and technology strategy and requirements – the elements of these will provide the foundation for the ultimate solution we develop for your data center environment.

In a Cloud Assessment, Univa experts interview your team to develop a set of business requirements. We then perform an infrastructure analysis to determine how "cloud-ready" your environment is, identifying areas where work needs to be done to prepare your resources for cloud enablement.

We then perform a 2-part application assessment to determine:

• Cloud Affinity: Which of your applications are more likely to benefit from cloud enablement – this helps ensure we prioritize application enablement in a way that yields the greatest "bang for your buck"
• Cloud Readiness: Which of your applications are actually cloud-ready – this helps prioritize applications on the basis of the amount of work that will be necessary to cloud enable them

At the intersection of these 2 evaluations, we locate the precise set of applications to work with initially in developing your cloud environment.

In a Cloud Assessment, our experts work at your chosen location with your business users, application owners, and infrastructure administrators to understand the capability of your applications to enter the cloud and the value to your business which can be created. The length and scope of a Cloud Assessment engagement will depend on the needs and infrastructure details for each customer.
