Your Learning Team has been asked by senior management to cut costs related to the IT infrastructure of your company. Your team does all of the cost analysis and finds that VMware can save the company a considerable amount of money moving forward following the initial investment in the VMware software. 3 to 4 slides to your proposal presentation discussing how Automation within VMware can help save the administrator time versus managing physical machines. your team’s prior weeks’ work, incorporating any faculty feedback, and submit a 12- to 14-slide PowerPoint presentation : Professor’s Feedback for Week 3 Assignment: You are meeting the minimum requirements but I also think you are missing opportunities. For starters, your grammar and writing can be improved. With multiple people in your group, you should be peer reviewing each other’s work to avoid sentences such as.. “Standardized with industrial standards (Oglesby, 2005).” – should this be industry standards? “Virtual network can be orchestrated
from a single point.” – you should say A virtual network can be… or you should say Virtual networks can be… These are just 2 examples. There are more. In business, it is critical that you can write effectively and manipulatively. In this assigment especially, you are to convince management that they should invest in a pricey CAPEX purchase. You must be convincing, compelling, and demonstrate the business need to cut costs. To that end, there is still plenty of opportunity to do that. The assignment suggests that you’ve done a “cost analysis”. I don’t see this. Overall, you have some good information in your presentation but it needs to be tied together and maybe organized a bit more smoothly. For example, how much does it cost the company per minute when a mission critical application goes down? And how many times per year historically would that application server go down? The answers to these questions are how you would back into a number to portray an accurate measurement of how much vmware can save the company.
