Initiation & Assessment (Weeks 1–3)
Pain Point Analysis:
High VMware costs and scalability limits.
Inventory Audit:
Catalogue 100+ VMs, 40+ applications and dependencies.
Goal Setting:
Target a ~40% cost reduction and 99.99% availability.
Phase 2:
Planning & Design (Weeks 4–7)
Vendor Selection:
ZStack chosen for cost efficiency and local 24x7x365 support.
Architecture Blueprint:
Multi-tenant zones for retail, corporate and internal.
Risk Mitigation:
Snapshots and weekend rollback windows for minimal downtime.
Phase 3:
Execution (Weeks 8–10)
Hardware Deployment:
Reuse existing servers to avoid new CAPEX.
Integration: Implement
API connectors (e.g., Veeam backups) and monitoring.
Phased migration waves are used to
validate and control risk.
Phase 4:
Testing (Week 11)
Functional Testing:
Validate app behavior on ZStack.
Performance Benchmarking:
30% faster VM spin-up vs VMware.
UAT:
50+ end users confirm access to critical systems.
Phase 5:
Go-Live & Optimization (Week 12)
Full Cutover:
Decommission VMware; ZStack hosts 100% workloads.
Continuous Monitoring:
Proactive alerts reduce incident response by ~25%.
Ongoing optimization and capacity
planning for future growth.
