The most expensive mistake in IT isn't the software you buy. It’s the infrastructure you migrate, pay for, and then delete 90 days later because it never belonged in the cloud in the first place.
I recently spoke with an infrastructure leader who spent millions migrating their entire estate to the public cloud, only to realize months later that they were paying premium rates for "zombie" servers that hadn't processed a transaction in a year. The diagnosis came too late.
We are living in the complex reality of the multi-hybrid cloud. To navigate it, you need more than a map; you need deep visibility. You need to know the difference between a vital organ and a vestigial one before you make a single move.
Distinguishing the Heart from the Appendix
Assessing a modern IT estate is not what it used to be. Standard discovery tools act like X-rays—they show you the "bones" (inventory), but they lack the fidelity to distinguish between what keeps you alive and what holds you back.
1. The Critical vs. The Vestigial Not every application in your data center is a vital organ.
- The Heart: These are your revenue-generating, mission-critical workloads. They require delicate handling, zero latency, and robust security.
- The Appendix: Then there are the "vestigial" apps—legacy reporting servers nobody reads or abandoned dev environments.
If you lift-and-shift both, you are effectively performing a transplant of an inflamed appendix. You are paying cloud premiums to host useless organs.
2. Curing Infrastructure Obesity The most pervasive ailment in on-prem infrastructure is "obesity"—chronic over-provisioning. We routinely see companies moving "fat" workloads directly to the cloud. They take a VM allocated with 32 vCPUs (that only uses 4 on average) and provision an equivalent instance in AWS.
- The Diagnosis: This is financial malpractice. You are migrating the fat along with the muscle.
- The Cure: True assessment uses biometric data. It distinguishes between provisioned capacity (fat) and actual utilization (muscle) so you can resize before you sign the contract.
The Conflict of Interest (And Why We Are Different)
Most assessments in the market today are not diagnostic tools; they are sales tools. A public cloud provider’s assessment is designed to move you to their public cloud. A hardware vendor’s assessment is designed to sell you more metal.
Who is looking out for you?
At OpSky, we are the Switzerland of infrastructure. We don't have a quota to fill for AWS, Azure, or Broadcom. We rely on the OpSky MRI (Migration Readiness Intelligence) to give you an unbiased truth.
Unlike generic tools that simply count VMs, our engine ingests deep data—starting with a simple RVTools export—to map every VLAN, storage LUN dependency, and workload pattern with forensic precision.
We model where your data fits best using a TCO analysis across 15+ targets in the hybrid multi-cloud universe, including:
- Public Cloud: AWS, Azure, GCP, OCI
- Cloud Hosted: EVS, NC2, NetApp
- Private Cloud: VCF, HPE, Nutanix, RedHat
We analyze every combination to build a commercial strategy that fits your reality, not a vendor's quota.
What You Will Discover
When you sign up for your assessment, you won't just get a spreadsheet. We take a standard RVTools export (and other inputs) to give you a prescription:
- A Forensic Inventory: A complete, validated map of your on-prem compute, storage, networking, security, and licensing estate—identifying the "ghosts" and dependencies others miss.
- The Cure for Obesity: Actionable rightsizing recommendations that compare provisioned vs. utilized resources, ensuring you only migrate muscle, never fat.
- Your Commercial Strategy: A definitive TCO roadmap comparing 15+ hybrid targets to reveal the most financially sound path for every single workload.
Get Your Prescription
Don't let the complexity of your current estate paralyze your future. Get the diagnosis before you start the surgery.
The process is frictionless: No agents to install, no security holes to open. Just a secure upload of your data, and our engine maps your best path forward.
