Infrastructure Risk & Readiness Assessment

Find your infrastructure risks before they cause an outage

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.

Why assess?

See which systems carry the most risk before you set your budget

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.

You’ll get a full list of what has reached end-of-life, an operational risk score based on our findings, and a cost-evaluated plan for what to replace first. That gives you something concrete to take to leadership, and a baseline to work from whether you refresh in place or move to the cloud.

Which of your servers, firewalls and operating systems are past end-of-life?

What would it cost if a critical system went down tomorrow?

Has patching and firmware fallen behind?

Do you have the capacity and performance headroom for what's next?

Do you have a baseline to plan a refresh or a cloud move from?

Our assessment takes the guesswork out, bringing you data, analysis, and expertise to guide the way.

The process

What does the assessment cover?

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:

01

Discovery

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.

02

Hardware age audit

We catalogue your servers, firewalls and network gear, and record the age of each item and when its support ends.

03

Operating system lifecycle review

We check every OS version against its support dates and flag anything already unsupported or approaching end-of-life.

04

Risk scoring and capacity baseline

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.

05

Remediation roadmap

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.

Use cases

When does an infrastructure risk and readiness assessment make the most impact?

Ageing servers with no refresh plan

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.

Unsupported operating systems

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.

After an outage

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.

Before a cloud migration

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.

Why Aptum?

We've been running infrastructure since 1996

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.
