Project Overview:
The customer had 118 servers (20 Linux and 98 Windows servers) in a single datacenter. The partner used one Vanguard to carry out a detailed assessment of the environment to generate incisive and detailed reports that charted the course for the customer’s future migration plan.
Benefits:
Extended 14-day performance scan to collect utilization data.
Complete security assured as all data are encrypted.
Zero-downtime migration.
Dependency mapping as a precursor to grouping.
Comprehensive data on TCO, feasibility.

Assessment for Cloud Migration
The customer is the largest independent decorator’s merchant in the UK. With a nationwide network of outlets, the customer supplies decorators with whatever they need to deliver a fantastic finish. The customer approached one of Corent's partners for expert advice to chart its migration plan.
Corent's partner used MaaS to deliver Cloud assessment services to its customer. The partner scanned and assessed the customer’s datacenter using MaaS and generated detailed reports. The reports on migration feasibilities for the datacenter and its servers were shared with the customer.
Challenges:
Performing agentless scan of the source servers in the customer’s environment.
Conducting cost analysis and migration planning.
Conducting extended scan to identify the server's performance metrics.
Determining Cloud feasibility and cost modeling based on the results of the scan.
Offering precise suggestions for Lift & Shift migration from the on-prem environment to the Cloud.
Solution:
MaaS used one Vanguard server to perform an agentless scan to gain in-depth information about the servers.
MaaS issued TCO in the migration advisory. This helped the customer determine their budget and plan migration accordingly.
Extended scan results helped capture the metrics on CPU, memory, and network utilization, based on which equivalence match was made for rightsizing.
MaaS offered precise TCO of the selected Cloud, which helped the customer to draft a comprehensive migration strategy.
MaaS offers precise recommendations to empower partners to migrate customer environments from on-prem to Cloud.
