The Toolkit contains the following practical and powerful enablers with new and updated Virtualization specific requirements:

STEP 1: Get your bearings

Start with…

• The latest quick edition of the Virtualization Self Assessment book in PDF containing 49 requirements to perform a quickscan, get an overview and share with stakeholders.

Organized in a data driven improvement cycle RDMAICS (Recognize, Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control and Sustain), check the…

• Example pre-filled Self-Assessment Excel Dashboard to get familiar with results generation

Then find your goals…

STEP 2: Set concrete goals, tasks, dates and numbers you can track

Featuring 685 new and updated case-based questions, organized into seven core areas of process design, this Self-Assessment will help you identify areas in which Virtualization improvements can be made.

Examples; 10 of the 685 standard requirements:

1. How can you verify that the virtualization platform or cloud management software running on the systems you use, which you did not install and do not control, does not contain malware?

2. Redundant units use energy but provide limited value in normal operating conditions. Can you reduce the level of redundant units and still maintain stability and reliability?

3. Are you using an external virtualization technology to achieve database consolidation, and if yes, are the performance and complexity of operations acceptable?

4. How do applications express Quality-of-Service targets and have the underlying hardware, the operating system and the virtualization layers work together to ensure them?

5. What impact has emerging technology (e.g., cloud computing, virtualization and mobile computing) had on your companys ITRM program over the past 12 months?

6. Senior-level client discussions now tend to focus on where to start rather than simply on feasibility. Whats the initial use case that can bootstrap NFV deployment?

7. Virtualization; Do your virtualized environments comply with licensing requirements, such as for server, desktop and application virtualization environments?

8. Are you consolidating computing environments: server virtualization, increase computing density, lowering energy consumption or starting green initiatives?

9. How do we determine the need for the new hardware infrastructures, such as server farms, virtualization, grid computing, and utility computing?

10. Both Operations Manager and Configuration Manager are intended for larger organizations with more specialized IT staffs. What about mid-size companies?

Complete the self assessment, on your own or with a team in a workshop setting. Use the workbook together with the self assessment requirements spreadsheet:

• The workbook is the latest in-depth complete edition of the Virtualization book in PDF containing 685 requirements, which criteria correspond to the criteria in…

Your Virtualization self-assessment dashboard which gives you your dynamically prioritized projects-ready tool and shows your organization exactly what to do next:

Defining, designing, creating, and implementing a process to solve a business challenge or meet a business objective is the most valuable role; In EVERY company, organization and department.

Unless you are talking a one-time, single-use project within a business, there should be a process. Whether that process is managed and implemented by humans, AI, or a combination of the two, it needs to be designed by someone with a complex enough perspective to ask the right questions. Someone capable of asking the right questions and step back and say, ‘What are we really trying to accomplish here? And is there a different way to look at it?’

This Toolkit empowers people to do just that – whether their title is entrepreneur, manager, consultant, (Vice-)President, CxO etc… – they are the people who rule the future. They are the person who asks the right questions to make Virtualization investments work better.

This Virtualization All-Inclusive Toolkit enables You to be that person:
