Virtualisation

What it is

Virtualization abstracts workloads from underlying hardware and provides capabilities such as resource pooling, mobility, high availability and centralized lifecycle management.

Why it matters

It improves utilization and operational flexibility while simplifying provisioning, maintenance and disaster-recovery design.

What shapes the design

• Platform sizing and compatibility
• Cluster resilience
• Network and storage
• Licensing and backups

QMTS delivery scope

We assess workloads and capacity, design the cluster and networking/storage dependencies, deploy the virtualization platform and define availability and management policies.

Customer deliverables

A managed virtual infrastructure platform with documented capacity, networking, storage and availability design.

Typical use cases

Private cloud, server consolidation, business applications, test environments and disaster-recovery architectures.

Delivery lifecycle

• 01 Requirements discovery and current-state assessment.
• 02 Architecture, dependencies and implementation planning.
• 03 Technical specification, configuration baseline and delivery preparation.
• 04 Implementation, integration, testing and controlled commissioning.
• 05 As-built documentation, operational handover and managed support where required.

Before we start

To scope a project, describe the goal, users and sites, current systems, timing constraints and desired outcome. Solution scope and service terms are defined after assessment.
