A major UK retailer was looking to perform a datacenter assessment to understand the infrastructure currently deployed within the DC and the relationships between the infrastructure. This was in preparation for a cloud migration.

The chose ITAM solution for discovering their infrastructure was BMC Discovery. The requirements included deployment, data gathering, knowledge transfer, and application architecture modelling. This was delivered over a 6-week period.

The end result was that the retailer were able to identify their application dependencies in order to plan the move and identify assets such as servers which were in decommissioned status but still live. As a value add I also provided them detailed reporting into single-point-of-failure devices (servers configured with only one switch) and valuable software lifecycle data.
