Servers that have run for years tend to keep running, until one day they don't. Our Infrastructure Risk & Readiness Assessment shows you what's end-of-life, what's likely to fail and what it could cost your business when it does, so you can decide what to replace first.
All IT teams know that their equipment is aging quickly. Fewer know exactly which pieces carry the most risk, or what to say when leadership asks for budget to replace them. An assessment gives you the facts to plan with.
Our assessment takes the guesswork out, bringing you data, analysis, and expertise to guide the way.
We review your hardware, operating systems and day-to-day operations across on-premises and colocation environments. Then we turn what we find into a plan you can act on. Here’s how it works:
We meet with your team to understand what workloads you run, where they live and who looks after them, plus collect all available documentation of the infrastructure and of outages or performance issues in the last year.
We catalogue your servers, firewalls and network gear, and record the age of each item and when its support ends.
We check every OS version against its support dates and flag anything already unsupported or approaching end-of-life.
We give each part of your infrastructure a score on its operational risk to your organization. For larger assessments, we also measure how much capacity and performance headroom you have left as well as identify bottlenecks and underused resources. If we identify a critical security problem or an imminent failure, we'll let you know right away.
We give you a prioritised list of what to fix first, with an estimated cost for each item, so you can build a budget case for leadership with tangible costs and risks.
Depending on the size of your environment, you'll get an end-of-life inventory, an OS lifecycle report, operational risk scoring, a capacity and performance baseline, and a prioritised remediation roadmap with cost estimates. Larger engagements add an executive summary presentation.
If your hardware is five to eight years old and nobody's sure when it was last refreshed, you need a clear view of what to replace and when.
Once an operating system reaches end of support, it stops getting security patches. We’ll show you where those systems are and what depends on them.
If a recent failure took too long to fix, the assessment helps you find the next weak point while there's still time to plan for it.
Knowing what's portable, what's risky and what's end-of-life is step one of any move. Without that baseline, you're migrating blindly.
Aptum has built and managed infrastructure for customers for nearly 30 years, across dedicated hosting, colocation, private cloud and public cloud. The team that assesses your environment can also refresh your hardware, take on patching and monitoring, or plan a bigger move if the findings call for one. You get one provider from assessment through to ongoing management, with no handover gaps between firms.
Tell us a little about your infrastructure and we'll be in touch to scope the assessment with you.
