Migrazo-Infrascope
VMware vSphere Foundation & Cloud Foundation

Know exactly what stands between your estate and your next upgrade.

Migrazo-Infrascope connects to the customer environment, builds a complete inventory, runs a full hardware and software compatibility analysis against the VCF or VVF release you are targeting, and hands back a sequenced remediation plan — in an afternoon, not six weeks of spreadsheets.

Read-only discovery · credentials are used for inventory collection only, no configuration changes are made

How it works

Four guided phases, from first connection to signed-off plan.

Each phase hands the next one everything it needs. Nothing is re-keyed, and no phase asks for data the previous one already collected.

1

Connect

Register & integrate

Register the customer's vCenter, NSX and — where it applies — SDDC Manager, so discovery can run against the live environment.

  • Customer & environment profile
  • vCenter / NSX / SDDC Manager credentials
  • Connection test & consent capture
2

Assess

Discovery & inventory

Automated discovery captures a complete point-in-time inventory of compute, storage, network and add-on solutions.

  • Hosts, clusters, VMs & capacity
  • NSX-T, vSAN & add-on inventory
  • Utilization & health overview
3

Analyse

Compatibility & scoring

Pick a target release and get a full hardware and software readiness scorecard, cross-referenced against the Broadcom HCL.

  • HCL & firmware compatibility
  • Software / version compatibility matrix
  • Executive readiness scorecard
4

Advise

Path, prerequisites & report

A sequenced upgrade path, a prerequisites checklist and an owned remediation plan — exportable as a guide or an exec deck.

  • Upgrade path & workflow
  • Prerequisites & remediation plan
  • One-click Word / PowerPoint export

Analyse

Change the target and the whole picture re-scores.

The same estate measured against three different releases. Every component is cross-referenced against the Broadcom HCL for the version you actually intend to run.

Top readiness blockers

Ranked by severity
TPM 2.0 missing on 14 HPE hostsCritical

HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen10 hosts ship TPM 1.2 only — a hard requirement gap against the target platform security baseline.

12 hosts not on the target HCLCritical

Dell PowerEdge R640 (Cascade Lake) is not listed on the Broadcom HCL for this target version.

NSX Manager below minimum versionSerious

NSX-T 4.1.2 is below the minimum supported version — upgrade to 4.2.1 or later before proceeding.

Aria Suite Lifecycle incompatibleWarning

Aria Suite Lifecycle 8.16.2 must reach 8.18+ to stay supported after the upgrade.

Advise

A sequenced path, not a list of problems.

Every stage is ordered by dependency — earlier ones block later ones — with owners, durations and a prerequisites checklist attached to each.
