Cloud computing ‘excels at agility and cost’
There are many advantages to deploying the cloud.
Why you need it.
Streamline your business and reduce running costs by consolidating your computing hardware. Virtualisation allows you to uncouple applications, desktops, servers and data from being dependent on any one physical device, maximising productivity, hardware utilisation rates and business continuity plans.
Our expertise.
We’re geared up to design, implement and support a wide range of vendor products in the virtualisation space. That means that we’re a genuinely independent consultancy – not a vendor-led organisation. We can give you impartial advice to ensure that our solutions are perfectly tailored to your requirements and your budget. We’ve been accredited to deliver virtualisation solutions for over five years, and have implemented virtualisation technology at over 150 customer sites.
What you can expect.
Effective virtualisation solutions allows you to:
- Lower infrastructure running costs by reducing and consolidating the number of servers and amount of storage hardware required to run applications
- Introduce always available, on demand applications and desktops to information workers from any location on any device and over any connection
- Implement simple, cost effective and reliable business continuity and disaster recovery solutions
- Simplify IT management and administration
- Implement green IT policies that dramatically reduce the amount of power, space and cooling required to run IT systems.
The key components parts of a virtualisation solution are:
Application Virtualisation
This centralises the installation of user applications, so that they can be more easily deployed and maintained to large groups of users spread across many locations. Enables Branch Office Connectivity and Remote and Mobile working solutions.
Desktop Virtualisation
Also known as ‘thin client computing’, this solution removes local desktop operating systems and centralises the delivery of them (as with applications only) for an entire user desktop – for example, Windows XP or Vista. A PC is not necessary on the user desktop to run a full Windows OS. Enables Branch Office Connectivity and Workforce Mobility solutions.
Server Virtualisation
This allows multiple virtual servers to run on any one physical server simultaneously. It enables drastic physical server reduction and consolidation, high availability, disaster recovery and green IT solutions.
Storage Virtualisation
This enables the provision of virtual pools of data to Servers and Desktops, effectively eliminating wasted physical storage space. As the total amount of used physical storage goes up, more disk can be added easily without the need to move data or resize data volumes.
