01
Design around dependencies
Assess existing architecture, owners and critical integrations. Record sizing assumptions, prerequisites and acceptance criteria before product selection.
Technology ecosystem / Professional services
VMware
Operate private cloud as an integrated platform.
VMware Cloud Foundation connects virtualization, storage, networking and operations. We align platform architecture and lifecycle management with application dependencies, migration constraints and the current commercial scope.

IRIS Technology / Delivery capabilities
Why IRIS for VMware
Architecture, implementation and an accountable operational handover.
Engagement deliverablesPlatform readiness assessment, compatibility matrix, migration plan and lifecycle acceptance tests.
02
Implement with change control
Pilot representative workloads, validate compatibility and stage production changes with agreed rollback criteria.
03
Hand over an operable service
Deliver configuration records, test evidence and runbooks. Define support boundaries, escalation and lifecycle responsibilities.
Capabilities & products
Solution scope
Select the capabilities that meet your control objectives, application dependencies and operating model.
01
Private cloud foundations
Assess cluster design, workload placement and platform availability before deployment or refresh.
VMware Cloud Foundation • vSphere
02
Storage and networking
Validate storage policies, network design and workload connectivity across the chosen architecture.
vSAN • NSX
03
Platform operations
Define lifecycle, visibility and automation scope with clear administration and change ownership.
VCF Operations • VCF Automation
Requirements & controls
Control objectives and evidence
Technology supports a control programme; it does not establish compliance on its own. Validate policies, operating procedures and evidence alongside implementation.
Workload availability
Validate capacity assumptions, compatibility and component failure behavior against acceptance criteria.
Lifecycle and recovery
Document upgrade procedures, privileged administration, protection scope and recovery tests.
Before implementation
Technical questions
Questions to resolve before committing to a platform or deployment scope.
What should be reviewed before adopting or upgrading Cloud Foundation?
Review hardware compatibility, application dependencies, lifecycle sequence and recovery tooling. Confirm the current license and add-on scope before assuming component availability. Test upgrades and rollback paths against the selected architecture and supported product versions.
What is confirmed before product selection and quotation?
We confirm the current product edition, supported versions, deployment options, integration prerequisites and license scope. Availability, subscription terms and required add-ons are checked for the proposed environment rather than inferred from portfolio branding.
Can the engagement include ongoing support or managed operations?
Support and managed operations can be scoped around agreed assets, responsibilities, service windows and escalation arrangements. Monitoring, change authority and vendor escalation are documented in the service scope; they are not assumed to be included with a product license.
Regional delivery
VMware expertise. Local accountability.
IRIS Technology delivers VMware architecture, implementation, migration and support scopes through established operations in Saudi Arabia and Jordan. Products, licensing and responsibilities are confirmed for each engagement.
