See Every Scenario Before You Commit

Whether you’re eyeing a cloud migration, consolidating data centers, or re-platforming to new hardware, guessing at cost and performance is a recipe for overruns. House of Brick’s Future-State Deployment Modeling combines real usage metrics, detailed license rules, and decades of architecture experience to simulate multiple target designs—so you can pick the one that meets SLAs, budgets, and audit requirements with confidence.

Future-State Deployment Modeling Engagement Framework

Phase	Key Actions	Outcomes
Baseline	Pull current usage, growth trends, HA/DR needs, and license footprint from Opscompass & CMDB	Data set & requirement matrix
Define Goals	Clarify business drivers: cost reduction, cloud adoption, HA, DR, performance, compliance	Success criteria checklist
Model Scenarios	Simulate on-prem, hybrid, multi-cloud, and hardware refresh options—each with cost, performance, and license impact	Side-by-side comparison workbook
Optimize	Apply right-sizing, consolidation, and license-optimization techniques to each viable scenario	Ranked shortlist of target designs
Roadmap	Select preferred design, outline phased rollout, budget, and risk mitigations	12 to 24 month execution plan

Key Deliverables

Scenario comparison workbook with cost, performance, and license deltas
Recommended target architecture diagrams (compute, storage, network, HA/DR)
License and support cost forecast for chosen design
Phased migration or rollout roadmap with key milestones
Executive slide deck summarizing findings & decisions

Why It Matters

Avoid budget shock by seeing true infrastructure and licensing costs before committing
Choose the right cloud or hardware with performance and HA modeled against real workloads
Accelerate approval with data-backed projections that satisfy IT, finance, and audit teams
