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
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.

3. Bring best practices in ITSM
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.”
