Scope

Eight pillars of a healthy infrastructure estate.

Compute & virtualisation

Hardware lifecycle, hypervisor strategy (VMware/VCF post-Broadcom, Hyper-V, Nutanix), capacity headroom, refresh cadence.

Storage

Capacity, performance, snapshot/replication topology, immutability posture, refresh window, vendor concentration risk.

Networking

LAN/WAN/SD-WAN architecture, vendor mix, lifecycle posture, segmentation, zero-trust readiness.

Data protection & DR

3-2-1-1-0 compliance, RPO/RTO vs. business need, immutable copy strategy, ransomware-recovery rehearsal cadence.

Public cloud

Landing-zone maturity, FinOps posture, well-architected score, reservation/SP coverage, exit/repatriation optionality.

Observability

Telemetry coverage, alert quality, MTTR trends, tool consolidation opportunity, SRE practice maturity.

Resilience & security

Essential 8 maturity at the infra layer, identity-to-infrastructure controls, patch posture, change-failure rate.

Cost-to-run

True total cost — capex amortisation, support, licensing, power, people. Benchmarked against industry peers.

How we run it

A 4–6 week engagement

01

Discover

Stakeholder interviews, agentless data collection across vCenter/SCVMM/Nutanix/Azure/AWS, CMDB, observability platforms, change records.

02

Benchmark

Compare against industry peers — capacity headroom, refresh cadence, FinOps maturity, ransomware-readiness, MTTR.

03

Recommend

Prioritised initiatives — quick wins (≤90 days), strategic plays (3–12 months) with quantified savings and risk reduction.

04

Present

Board-ready CIO report, executive briefing, optional workshop with your IT & architecture leadership.

Pairs naturally with

Migration, Managed Services, or both.

Migration Services

Infrastructure Managed Services

Hand the remediated estate to our 24×7 bench — close the gap between advice and outcome.

Continuous GRC

Embed Essential 8, ISO 27001 or SOC 2 evidence collection into the infrastructure layer once the review is done.
