CV_P v3.0 3

1. Proposal Overview Customer has requested a Client Virtualization Pilot to document the integrity of the proposed solution. Often the basis for this Pilot is a previously successful Proof of Concept with the intention of providing configuration, software or hardware, recommendations prior to moving onto full deployment.

The setting of clear expectations and criteria for success will insure a successful Pilot and serve as stepping-stone to a successful full deployment of the primary Client Virtualization configuration. This configuration will be the basis for any future environments within the Primary or Disaster Recovery sites.

Customer requested changes, alterations or customizations considered ‘out of scope’ to this SOW must follow the Change Order process defined in Section 7. Additional fees and expenses required to complete the Change Order is in Section 3.

2. Our ‘Lifecycle’ Approach Partner executes each engagement with a structured ‘Lifecycle’ methodology that defines the roles, responsibilities, objectives and expected outcomes which is to ultimately prove the validity of the solution design to enable full deployment of a Customer’s Client Virtualization solution.

There is constant review of all previously accepted information with the Customer as we execute this ’Lifecycle’ methodology to ensure the facts still hold true as this SOW progresses. This methodology allows us to assure our Customer achieves and even exceeds their goals through appropriate adjustments during the execution of this SOW that minimizes any “surprises” in either scope or cost that plague many services engagements.

Upon the initiation of this engagement, the engineer(s) map the phase review meetings to calendar dates for both parties to approve during the initial project planning exercise. Communication and expectation are the most important success factors.

Please note that once the approved SOW in the midst of execution, that the adding/deleting/changing of defined tasks requires the Change Order process as defined in Section 7 prior to the initiation of services; in or out of scope. Any changes could, but not necessarily, require additional costs to the overall project and is subject to Customer approval.

3. Investment This project will include project management, all the scoped deliverables defined in Section 5 of this SOW, executed using best practices.

Remote execution of all SOW defined services will keep project costs lower unless otherwise defined in this SOW. As there may be a requirement for on-site visitation to the single customer location, the Customer upon project completion, pays all travel expenses for these services at cost. If required, we can provide an estimation of reasonable expenditures.

5. Client Virtualization Pilot Service Features This Client Virtualization Pilot will provide the insight the Customer needs to maximize their current infrastructure, plan for future changes, control costs and enhance everyday performance. Every environment is different meaning that each Pilot is a one of a kind, custom engagement designed to test the thresholds of this infrastructure design.

The Partner, through its employees or agents, shall provide to Customer the services described as follows. These services are inclusive of the Scope of this SOW. Any additional services, requested or deemed necessary, require a mutually executed Change Order (Attachment A) prior to the initiation of such out-of-scope services.

5.1 Phase 1: Project Planning If the Customer has completed a previous Proof of Concept (POC), then a review of the final documentation, next steps and objectives should completed with the team. The deliverables are the same as the usual Phase 1.

In Phase 1, a Certified Virtualization Engineer will conduct an in-depth meeting to review your business level objectives, project goals as well as gather a greater understanding of your current environment and infrastructure issues.

This meeting will be performed at a mutually agreed upon time during normal weekday business hours of 8:00 am to 5:00 pm in the appropriate time zone and will set the expectations for all services, confirm Customer information as well as all prerequisites in order for us to complete this engagement, have been achieved.
