vSphere Health Check

What is VMware vSphere?

VMware is a virtualisation platform which transforms data centres into cloud computing infrastructure; a.k.a. the perfect tool to streamline your digital transformation journey and deliver a better experience to both you and your customers.

However, keeping up with all the information you need to prevent issues is normally a time consuming and manual process which, if not maintained, can lead to your environment developing hidden problems, deviations from best practices, and non-compliance with the security frameworks that you select.

Why does it need a health check?

vSphere health management is a slow and manual process.  The trouble is, not maintaining yours can lead to:

• Hidden problems
• Deviations from best practices
• Non-compliance with your security frameworks

Our VMware vSphere Health Check uses the Runecast Analyser to help mitigate configuration issues and security risks, providing actionable insights to keep you on track.

"Reducing your carbon footprint should be in your best interests.  Investments in modern hypervisors enable improvements in resource provisioning to reduce workloads by running more resources on fewer machines.

Why is this in your best interests?  Not only is it beneficial for the environment, but primarily for your organisation in terms of cost and energy efficiencies through our VMware vSphere Health Check service."

How does a VMware vSphere Health Check  work, and what are the benefits?

With the Runecast VMware analyser, our platform specialists use 30 different health checks to review your whole VMware infrastructure. Our specialists conduct a discovery session with you to gain an understanding of your VMware environment and what you would like to be audited. They will then implement Runecast’s “Runecast Analyser” to assess the agreed scope and produce the analyser standard “Overall System Health” report on any issues that affect performance, and remedial advice to help you solve them.

By taking part in our VMware Health Check you can work to stay ahead of your competition by improving the efficiency of your IT department.

We use Runecast Analyzer’s AI engine to convert industry sources of information into machine-readable data.  This data is processed on the Analyzer, which then scans your VMware environments for hidden problems. This analysis and insight will allow you to avoid outages, mitigate service risks and ensure maximum efficiency and performance. 

We will then take all the information gathered in the “Overall Systems Health report” and analyse the data, with research and external verification where necessary to build an accurate, unique picture of any issues or gaps in your current practices.

Based on the analysis we will deliver a verbal report to key stakeholders, detailing what we have discovered, explaining our findings, and providing a full set of strategic recommendations about all the workloads assessed.
