Cloud Infrastructure Assessment

Have you reached a milestone in your cloud adoption and are wondering what to do next? InspireXT assess your current footprint and give you some insight into what is good, what could be done better and what can be done next based on your long-term strategy.

Continual cloud improvement

Assessing Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) involves evaluating various aspects of the platform to determine its suitability for your organisation’s needs. OCI is continually evolving with new services and opportunities that may not have been available during initial cloud adoption. With InspireXT, you can re-assess your solution architecture and determine where improvements can be made to the existing infrastructure or where enhancements are needed to support future objectives.

Compute services

Evaluation of the types of compute instances in use compared to currently available options. Assess scalability and performance of compute resources and review the pricing model to ascertain if reductions can be made in TCO.

Storage services

Examine storage in use and available options with consideration for data durability, availability, and performance in mind. Evaluate backup and recovery options.

Networking

Assess networking capabilities, including VCN, subnets, and security groups as well as load balancing facilities and on-premises connectivity options.

Security

Examine the current security model, providing further recommendations regarding monitoring, logging, and standards adherence.

Database services
