The Planning phase defines the tasks, investments and schedule to execute the chosen strategy.
It is based on the environment and TCO analysis done during the Awareness phase. Ideally, your planning team should include representation from both IT and end-user
communities and your HP account team. Making the transition as seamless to your business operations as possible requires a good blueprint. This usually starts with
more detailed analysis of business priorities on which areas to address first, as outlined in TCO studies done in the Awareness phase.
HP offers assessments for specific topics such as data center consolidation, as well as custom evaluations to meet your specific needs. For each application area, an assessment can include:
- Inventory your current environment to identify key applications and revisions, server platforms, operating system releases and storage capacity.
- Determine requirements for the new environment, taking into account the new capabilities of HP Integrity servers, blades, HP-UX and HP Storageworks.
During this phase, you'll develop a transition plan that defines IT requirements, service level objectives, required functionality or ISV solution stack, transition schedule and available resources.
