As IT environments grow more complex, organizations—from commercial enterprises to federal agencies—face mounting challenges in managing and modernizing VMware infrastructures. ClearBridge Technology Group, VMware by Broadcom’s #1 delivery partner, provides end-to-end VMware solutions that deliver reliability, scalability, and security. With over 500 successful engagements and 20+ years of VMware expertise, ClearBridge helps organizations accelerate digital transformation while mitigating risk.
VMware Challenges Organizations Face Today
Organizations relying on VMware often encounter:
- Aging vSphere environments approaching end-of-life (6.x/7.x/8.x)
- Complex network configurations with NSX and vSAN
- Operational inefficiencies across multi-cluster or multi-site deployments
- Compliance and security risks in regulated industries (Healthcare, Finance, Federal, DoD)
- Limited in-house VMware expertise, making migrations and upgrades challenging
ClearBridge addresses these challenges with structured solutions for assessments, architecture, migration, and ongoing residency support.
ClearBridge VMware Service Offerings
- Assessments: Understanding Your Environment
ClearBridge starts with comprehensive assessments to evaluate the readiness, performance, and security of VMware environments:
- VCF & VVF Readiness Assessments: Evaluate current VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) and VMware Validated Design (VVF) environments for migration or upgrade readiness.
- VCF 9 Readiness Assessment: Assess the compatibility and prerequisites for upgrading to VCF 9.
- Optimization & Health Checks: Identify performance bottlenecks, configuration drift, and remediation opportunities.
- Application Networking & Security (ANS) Reviews: Ensure NSX and application-level networking are optimized for performance and security.
- Aria Automation Reviews: Evaluate operational workflows and automation strategies for VMware environments.
These assessments deliver actionable insights, including remediation plans and ROI-focused recommendations.
