Packaged Solutions
MCC VMware consultants have developed standard solution packages
that provide the highest value in a compressed timeframe. By leveraging the process,
materials, and best practices developed across numerous customer engagements, we
can provide you with a fast, efficient, and cost-effective solution. Our packaged
solutions include:
- ESX Server Jump Start: The objective of this packaged solution
is to get you up and running on VMware ESX Server, virtual machine software for
consolidating and partitioning servers in high-performance environments, quickly
and effectively. MCC VMware consultants will work with you to install and configure
this highly scalable virtual machine platform so that you learn how to take full
advantage of this product's advanced resource management capabilities to guarantee
service levels.
- Virtual Center Jump Start: This packaged solution helps customers
maximize their time and resources by helping them quickly understand and utilize
the special capabilities of VirtualCenter. An existing VMware ESX installation is
assumed, or VirtualCenter Jumpstart can be combined with an ESX Jumpstart. Customers
will obtain effective knowledge transfer by walking through an installation and
getting VirtualCenter working in their own environment. By leveraging the experience
of MCC VMware Professional Services, customers will be more expedient and successful
in their VirtualCenter deployment.
- VMWare Converter Migratons: Using custom tools that we developed,
MCC VMware consultants will assist you in importing the workloads of your physical
servers into virtual machines. Converter Migrations are ideal for customers involved
in server consolidation or legacy migration projects. They help reduce the complexity,
risk, and downtime typically associated with these kinds of projects. By eliminating
the need to re-install software and configure complex application environments,
Converter Migrations cut down on set-up time and deliver value on your investment
in VMware software in the shortest timeframe possible.
- Disaster Recovery and Backup (DRB): Disaster Recovery is critical
in all environments where important corporate information is managed and stored.
This packaged solution is designed to help customers implement a robust disaster
recovery and backup solution using VMware's ESX Server. Included will be training,
best practices, knowledge transfer and custom scripting.
- Server Consolidation Assessment: This packaged solution is designed
to help customers understand the requirements and process involved in migrating
and consolidating physical machines into a consolidated virtual machine environment.
As an experienced VMware consulting firm, we work with the customer to analyze
their existing environment and make recommendations as to what the target environment
should look like. Included will be an analysis of the TCO associated with the project
and server sizing requirements. You can take a look at a sample Virtualization Readiness
Assessment so you can get a better idea of how you will benefit from
our VMWare Expert Consultants' recommendations and how you could deploy a Virtualization
Infrastructure in your organization.

VMware - Infrastructure 3
Start creating a self-optimizing IT infrastructure today with the most widely deployed
software suite for optimizing and managing industry-standard IT environments through
virtualization. VMware Infrastructure 3 is the next generation of industry-leading
infrastructure virtualization software that virtualizes servers, storage and networking,
allowing multiple unmodified operating systems and their applications to run independently
in virtual machines while sharing physical resources. The suite delivers comprehensive
virtualization, management, resource optimization, application availability and
operational automation capabilities.
VMware - ESX Server
Create the foundation for building a dynamic, self-optimizing data center with VMware
ESX Server. ESX Server abstracts processor, memory, storage and networking resources
into multiple virtual machines, giving you greater hardware utilization and flexibility.
Production-proven at thousands of customers of all sizes, ESX Server delivers the
highest levels of performance, scalability and flexibility.
VMware - VirtualCenter
Achieve the highest levels of efficiency, automation, simplicity and security in
managing a virtualized IT environment of any size with VMware VirtualCenter. VirtualCenter
lets you rapidly provision virtual machines and monitor performance of physical
servers and virtual machines. VirtualCenter intelligently optimizes resources, ensures
high availability to all applications in virtual machines and makes your IT environment
more responsive with virtualization-based distributed services such as VMware DRS,
VMware HA and VMware VMotion.
VMware - Workstation
VMware Workstation is powerful desktop virtualization software for software developers/testers
and enterprise IT professionals that runs multiple operating systems simultaneously
on a single PC. Users can run Windows, Linux, NetWare, or Solaris x86 in fully networked,
portable virtual machines - no rebooting or hard drive partitioning required. VMware
Workstation delivers excellent performance and advanced features such as memory
optimization and the ability to manage multi-tier configurations and multiple snapshots.
VMware - ACE
VMware ACE gives security administrators the ability to lock down PC endpoints and
protect critical company resources against the risks presented by unmanaged PCs.
With VMware ACE, security administrators package an IT-managed PC within a secured
virtual machine and deploy it to an unmanaged physical PC. Once installed, VMware
ACE offers complete control of the hardware configuration and networking capabilities
of an unmanaged PC, transforming it into an IT-compliant PC endpoint.
VMware - Virtual Desktop Infrastructure
With VMware Virtual Desktop infrastructure (VDI), companies can host individual
desktops inside virtual machines that are running in their data center. Users access
these desktops remotely from a PC or a thin client using a remote display protocol.
Since applications are managed centrally at the corporate data center, organizations
gain better control over their desktops. Installations, upgrades, patches and backups
can be done with more confidence without user intervention.
VMware - P2V Assistant
VMware P2V Assistant is an enterprise-class migration tool that transforms an image
of an existing physical system into a VMware virtual machine. This easy-to-use market-
proven tool enables fast and reliable physical to virtual machine migration for
heterogeneous Windows systems ranging from Windows NT 4 to Windows Server 2008..
