Infrastructure Survey

The basic environment survey focuses on the current status of a company's IT infrastructure and cloud migration requirements, including resource information, networking, security architecture, O&M architecture, access permission control, and resource metering and billing. The survey is conducted based on the information exported from the IT system (such as CMDB, CMP, and virtualization management software) and questionnaires. The basic environment survey is conducted by the company's O&M team. The survey personnel work with the company's O&M team to collect data and information about the basic environment.

A common survey method is to export information from the internal IT system of a company, such as the configuration management database (CMDB), cloud management platform (CMP), or virtualization management software. These systems provide information about hardware devices, network topologies, OSs, applications, and related configurations and versions, helping survey personnel understand the company's IT infrastructure.

Questionnaires and interviews are also common survey methods. Survey personnel can design questionnaires to collect information about resource usage, networking configuration, security architecture, O&M process, and access permission control. They can also conduct face-to-face interviews with the O&M team to deeply understand the actual company situation, challenges, and requirements.

During the survey, the survey personnel should fully communicate with the O&M team to ensure that the IT basic environment information of the company is accurately obtained and understood. They should properly handle sensitive and confidential information, and comply with the security and confidentiality requirements of the company.

Based on the survey results, the company can better understand the IT infrastructure status and cloud migration requirements, and make targeted planning and decisions. By evaluating resource usage, networking configuration, and security architecture, the company can formulate appropriate cloud migration policies, optimize resource configuration, improve O&M efficiency, and ensure access permission control and accurate resource metering and billing.

In a word, the basic environment survey aims to deeply understand the status quo of the company's IT infrastructure and cloud migration requirements. By working with the O&M team, the survey personnel collect required information from the IT systems, questionnaires, and interviews. Such surveys can provide valuable reference for future decision-making on company's IT planning and migration.
