3. Presentation of reports and findings
In this stage we will produce a detailed report of our findings and outline the current position of your IT systems, identifying any shortfalls and risks, and optionally suggest possible future improvements.

Increased hardware utilisation
- Pools of computing power can be shared between virtual servers, drawing more or less power as the load varies, meaning that your hardware resource is fully utilised.
