Purchasing hardware such as servers, consoles, switches and routers continues to be major expenditures for organizations.  The introduction of virtual networking, with its obvious cost advantages, continues to drive new infrastructure and cloud computing.  At Praetorian Secure, our highly trained engineers work with your organization on effective planning of virtual networking environments, and how to properly configure both physical and virtual networks to avoid performance bottlenecks.  In addition, virtual architecture requires a greater focus to be placed on applications, developing policies and processes for design and configuration management all geared to streamlining and improving network efficiency.  By integrating virtualization into a physical network, Praetorian Secure has expertise in Hyper-V and VMware ESX environments.  Our engineers will outline plans for the following:

• Evaluate virtual infrastructure and security practices in place

• Network architecture and virtualization capacity planning

• Identify insecure configurations associated with the deployed hardware & software

• Perform virtual assessments, policy and procedure gap analysis, risk management

• Configure virtual networks with logical networks and storage

• Virtual switch best practices and infrastructure security testing

• Network performance and throughput in virtualized environments

Praetorian Secure’s virtualization preparation and implementation is designed to enable effective operations, reduce inefficiencies and promotes data availability and confidentiality desired by an organization. More specifically, our process optimizes a virtual infrastructure to reduce server sprawl, sustaining manageable work capacities and costs as new hardware purchases and end-of-life server replacement needs deplete IT budgets.
