BEST PRACTICES FOR YOUR
VIRTUAL
INFRASTRUCTURE Nexio’s new service provides IT management with a clear assessment of existing virtualized systems, including their interactions, their performance and their efficiency level. Based on this data, Nexio helps clients redesign or rebalance systems, while making IT Service Management process adjustments.
Nexio Technologies adds a series of services that strengthen its leadership position in the field of IT virtualization. While Nexio has been supporting virtualized environments for its international clients for many years, it has also invested in the development of a comprehensive service offer that ensures optimal performance of virtualized environments.
1. Provide a clear and detailed assessment of the performance and operational efficiency First, Nexio uses its Infrastructure Optimization Model to provide organizations with a clear and detailed assessment of the performance and operational efficiency of their existing virtualized systems.
2. Help clients with VIRTUAL LAB
Customers can now take advantage of Nexio’s expertise in IT Service Management (ITSM) to bring best practices to the management of their virtualized environments.
4. Reconcile individual creativity with the need for better control and accountability Virtualization allows various people from an organization to build and modify systems that reside on a number of interconnected hosts. However, these environments are often implemented without central IT coordination. Aside from creating a certain level of anarchy in terms of performance measurement, this practice makes it very difficult to ensure the compliance of internal processes, including ITIL processes.“Our goal is to help IT management design, monitor and measure the performance of virtualized systems in more concrete and accurate terms,” says Patrick Bernard, Director of IT Infrastructure at Nexio. In light of the crucial importance of best practices today, this is a very serious issue. Today’s IT environment must reconcile individual creativity with the need for better control and accountability and that is what Nexio offers.”

Nexio’s specialists (VMware Authorized Consultants) also help clients design, consolidate and manage clusters of virtualized systems or individual units. In order to support this service and ensure optimal results, Nexio worked in collaboration with Dell Computers and VMware solutions to build a virtualization lab.
