Operational Framework
Because of the rapid uptake of virtualisation, architecture and solutions may not have been adapted to cater for the nuances of a virtual environment. Operational use cases that were prevalent in non-virtual environments are not so relevant for virtualised environments, and vice versa.
Storage Assessment
Over time, storage in your environment may become under- or over-utilised leading to performance issues. It becomes easy to lose sight of your storage topology. It is important to have a proactive awareness of your storage solution end to end to ensure high performance and utilisation.
Data Centre Blueprinting
As an organisation grows, so does the amount of servers and applications in the datacentre. The ability for an organisation to snapshot the inter-dependencies that make up their physical, virtual and application environment for that datacentre becomes an essential step in optimising and running an efficient environment.

Operational Framework
To provide a more robust and scalable way of delivering IT infrastructure services easily and reliably, to a largely non-technical end user population. Typically referred to as “IT as a Service”.
