What we check

Your infrastructure components, regularly, against the vendors’ own best practice. The point is to find and fix problems early rather than discover them at the next outage.

With what

HPE InfoSight and VMware Skyline. Both collect and analyse usage data automatically and check it against known problems, weaknesses and security gaps. The advantage over a manual review is the evidence base: those systems have seen failure patterns across a great many other installations, where your own experience has seen your own.

Why this is a service rather than a tool

Because the tools produce findings, not decisions. A list of deviations is only worth something once somebody assesses it: which of these matter in this estate, which are deliberate, and which belong in the next maintenance window.

That is the part we take on, and the reason a health check is more than a report.
