Support"We realize that each client has a different problem, a different working environment, different set of constraints or challenges, and is at a different stage of assessing and adopting virtualization. What makes VIQS different is our ability to customize our proven engagement and virtual operating environment (VOE) methodology to your specific needs"
- Chuck Dooley, CEO Virtual IQ

While the promise of virtualization is clear, it is only as good as the operational efficiencies derived from it that will enable real time workload provisioning, performance management, dynamic capacity management, SLA driven infrastructure, and a tremendous ROI. Today's enterprises, in most cases, have spent the last decade building policy and procedure to "harden" a more static "physical" infrastructure, and the dynamic nature of virtualization technology is a cause for uncertainty and possible reasons for delays in moving from pilot to production. IT organizations require end-to-end visibility across the enterprise and seamless integration and management of both their physical and virtual infrastructure.

We are focused on delivering Virtualization Services to the enterprise community to meet these very objectives. We have developed a proven methodology for enabling the enterprise to leverage the virtualization benefits where they "make sense". Our analytic approach and evaluation, allows you to decide if and when virtualization meets your business objectives.


Our Methodology

Virtual Operating Environment (VOE) methodology can be aligned with your corporate methodology, or enhanced to meet your specific deliverable requirements. Our team seeks to leverage our existing toolset, or develop new tools, if necessary, to ensure that your vision is properly articulated and executed.

Each phase has a specific set of goals and deliverables that can be used to measure progress as well as to communicate the evolution of the vision.

Advise & Assess: Our trained staff will work with your team to clearly define the business problem that needs to be solved, and to identify specific goals for the virtualization effort. We will gain a high-level understanding of your critical business drivers and objectives, products and services, user needs and goals, and current technology landscape to create a virtualization roadmap for subsequent phases.

Implement: Our skilled technical team will build upon the assessment of the environment and follow a well defined project plan for phased implementation of virtualization solution for select workloads and environments.

Optimize: Our team will further tune and optimize the environment based on the real workloads and infrastructure constraints. The deployment solution credentials will be validated against the VOE benchmarks to ensure a fully tested, tuned, and optimized environment.

Knowledge Transfer: VIQS professional trainers will train and certify the customer operations staff and document the best practices and processes to manage the virtualized environment.

With deep design and technical expertise, our delivery teams have a proven track record of success. To us, success means delighting our clients and exceeding expectation while delivering on time and on budget.
