Minimize the Risk of Datacenter Moves

Whether it’s for server consolidation, datacenter consolidation or disaster recovery implementation, any significant change to a datacenter is a major undertaking that consumes significant time and resources and is fraught with risk. The planning process is long, often reliant on manual processes and therefore error-prone. And it is unfortunately too common that services are difficult to restore because of errors in the audit or configuration process.

There are four key requirements of success that are currently missing from most organizations’ data center consolidation or migration projects:

• Application-server dependencies or which servers run which applications
  
  Server-server dependencies or how servers work together to provide critical business services
  
• Business impact of change or which business users are dependent on which servers and applications
• Performance management during the return to service period to identify and resolve problems quicky

Net V Pro combines network flow data already existing in an IT infrastructure with Network Behavior Analysis to provide the information IT teams need to minimize the risk of datacenter change by:
Passively discovering which servers run which applications eliminating the need for manual discovery by outsourced professional services personnel
Providing server-server dependency maps assuring that planners reassemble servers correctly the first time reducing the risk of service disruption on return to service
Providing baselines of user activity by application and server to identify the optimal change window and minimize service disruption

Providing state of the art application performance reporting and analysis to streamline troubleshooting of unforeseen problems on return to service.
