Virtualisation, HCI and Private Cloud

You are being asked to make a ten-year architecture decision on somebody else's renewal date.

The licence line is the visible part and it is not the risky part. The risk is a migration run to an external deadline, on the platform carrying your production estate, with an application set nobody has fully inventoried.

Arrange SECCOM to test one real workload group on a second platform before the renewal date, at no cost. A tested group is worth more than any comparison document.

What you get. A migration inventory naming which workloads move as they are, which need an application change first, and which should not move at all, with the cost and the downtime against each.

Where SECCOM stops. A support statement for your application on a new platform is the application publisher's to give. SECCOM collects those statements and tells you which ones are missing before the plan is signed.
