What is a CDW Power Cloud Assessment?

A CDW Power Cloud Assessment identifies opportunities for cloud service solutions within your infrastructure to improve business operations and efficiencies. The first component of a CDW Power Cloud Assessment is a pre-planning executive briefing. This is essential in determining the best Power solution for your environment.

During this personalized executive briefing, CDW and IBM experts will first assess your current infrastructure, systems and applications, then work with you in a four-phase plan.

Review

Review IT objectives and goals to better understand your desired business outcomes.

Evaluate

Evaluate network, access and security considerations when moving to the cloud.

Discuss

Discuss CDW Power Cloud, IBM Power Cloud and on-premises private cloud offerings and ways to best utilize them for your business.

Determine

Determine the best and most cost-effective IBM Power Cloud option for your infrastructure and applications.

Support on Each Step of Your Power Cloud Journey

Following your pre-planning executive briefing, we will work with you to define the critical areas of your Power Cloud journey by understanding the gaps within your environment and aligning your cloud transition plan with the needs of your business. The next steps of the CDW Power Cloud Assessment will be a design/discovery workshop comprised of:

Understanding business objectives and technical initiatives
Collecting information about your current state, including inventory and utilization of resources
Documenting HA/DR requirements including RPO & RTO
Exploring backup, recovery, and data archive requirements
