Integrated ICT and infrastructure provider Vox has automated its\ncloud assessment service to provide clients with a more cost-effective and\ntransparent way of transitioning to a cloud environment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThrough this enhanced offering, Vox ensures businesses can run as\nlean and efficiently as possible when it comes to the cloud. The process was\npreviously manual-driven and by automating it, Vox is delivering a best\npractice solution at a world-class level,\u201d said Daniel Jacobs, Senior Manager\nof Cloud Computing at Vox.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe are harnessing the capabilities of multiple sophisticated\nprobing tools.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The assessment is done across the entire ICT infrastructure of a\nbusiness environment. It examines all the physical devices connected on-site,\nthe size of the resources, how much of those are used, and what the network\nlooks like. It also examines the application, user, LAN, and WAN dependencies\nto give complete insight into what will be required to migrate to the cloud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBy automating the report, Vox can deliver an accurate assessment\nof not only the ideal cloud environment for the business\u2019s needs, but also\nexactly what the migration will cost,\u201d added Jacobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Furthermore, Vox follows a cloud-agnostic approach to ensure\nclients have the choice of any cloud platform that meets their budget and\nbusiness requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cVox conducts the assessment and provides clients with options on\nwhich cloud platforms will be ideal for them. Our calculated costing models see\ncustomers benefitting from up to 30% less than their current cost structure\ndepending on their choice of applications and\/or cloud platform. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis leaves budget for innovation and the expansion of IT\nservices to further assist their business. It is about delivering a total cost\nof ownership value proposition competitive with anything that is currently\navailable in the market today.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jacobs\nsays that some of the pitfalls in public cloud\nservices, like pay-per-use models, are sometimes cleverly disguised in\npre-sales pitches. If not managed correctly, these can result in needless\nadditional expenses to the organisation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But besides the upfront cost saving predicted with the Vox cloud\nassessment, clients will benefit from monthly total cost of ownership (TCO)\nreports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cFor us, it is not about selling just a product, rather, it is\nempowering our clients to better manage their initial cloud migration and\nthereafter their continuous cloud processes and management,\u201d said Jacobs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe cloud is about a journey from analysis and assessment through\nto implementation and ongoing management.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to Jacobs, it is about developing a path for a client\nthat is not only affordable but effective as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cFor example, just by switching off certain cloud features at\nnight, a business can already save 20% of its monthly bill,\u201d he explained. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe Vox assessment tool determines exactly what is needed and how\nbest to make it happen.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
