What we do
Cloud Modernisation – Defence and Intelligence Sectors
A growing number of defence and intelligence sector organisations see the benefits of private cloud as the key to successful digital initiatives. However, in these sectors, the modernisation of an existing cloud or data centre platform brings unique challenges.
Broadcom have brought a radical streamlining of VMware’s product line with full commitment to the VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) as the platform for the future. VCF is the Modern Cloud platform for virtual machine and container workloads. It delivers enduring cloud benefits to on-premises and hybrid infrastructure. VCF simplifies the deployment, upgrade, and management of the entire system. From day zero it provisions standardised architecture based on VMware Validated Designs to ensure replicable deployments to pre-defined baselines, reducing much risk and cost.
Spartan’s expertise and experience make us the ideal partner to ensure the seamless transition to VCF. This empowers organisations to modernise and then adopt new innovations, including Hybrid Cloud, Kubernetes, Intrinsic Security, and AI. Spartan provides the Assessment and Migration Services empowering customers to automate, modernise and ultimately transform their platforms:-
Spartan Assessment Service: Assess the transition path from the current state to the future state. Spartan will provide a comprehensive review of the current configuration and environment to assess readiness for the VCF platform.
Transition Services: Spartan offers upgrade/migration services to ensure the platform transition is as seamless as possible. This service delivers upgrading or migration to the VCF platform from traditional vSphere environments.
Whatever the reason and however complex and secure the scenario, upgrading from one version to another or moving from one platform to another requires some critical considerations:
- Do you know how to manage and execute a large-scale migration of thousands of workloads and when to perform the migrations based on business goals and needs?
- Do you know what the dependencies are, both internal and external, between your applications?
- Do you know what you need to migrate?
- Can you create and execute a migration schedule that will minimise the disruption of critical applications and ensure availability?
- How can you minimise data loss during the migration?
- What about data security?
- Do you have the resources and time to plan and execute the migrations without disrupting current operations?
- Does your staff have the required skills and expertise?
