 Is your IT expenditure on the increase? Has your business considered the alternative to physical infrastructure? Business Issues: • Is your business running out of physical space?
• Do you have your IT equipment located in a suitable place?
• Does your business have multiple locations?
• Would you like to centralise the monitoring and management of your infrastructure?
• Do you want to consolidate your infrastructure?
• Would you like to increase your productivity?
• Would you like to reduce your spend?
• Does your organisation require its resources and IT to be flexible?
How does our Solution address the issues? Our solution to address these issues utilises the product VMWare Infrastructure Enterprise, a virtual data centre operating system that consolidates disparate server, storage and networking hardware to create a single shared dynamic platform. Our solution is a suite of software that optimises and manages IT environments through virtualisation. This technology comprises: | | ESX 3.5 – This software enables physical servers to be partitioned into multiple, secure and portable virtual machines with each machine representing a complete system. | Virtual Symmetric Multiprocessing – Enables a single virtual machine to use multiple physical processors simultaneously. | v Motion – Allows the migration of virtual machines to a physical server ensuring maintenance can be carried out without disruption. | High Availability – Enables cost eff ective application availability, independent of hardware and software. | | v Storage Virtual Machine File System – A high performance cluster fi le system. This enables multiple installations of ESX to access the same virtual machine storage concurrently. | Distributed Resource Scheduler – Aligns available resources with pre-defined business priorities which balances workloads and reduces power consumption, whilst streamlining labour and resource intensive operations. | Storage v Motion – Allows the migration of virtual machine disks from a shared storage location without disruption or downtime to users.
| Consolidated Backup – Provides easy to use centralised backup for virtual machines. | |  | Benefits: • Less physical infrastructure required thereby reducing costs on labour, products, power and maintenance
• Increased resource and server utilisation.
• Allows migration of live environments thereby minimising downtime and maximising profi tability
• Has the fl exibility to dynamically change environments independent of hardware thereby reducing the risk of system failure
• Updates and patch management for physical ESX hosts as well as guest operating systems enforcing compliance and security policies
• Aligns available resource with pre-defi ned business processes and priorities whilst balancing workloads and reducing power consumption thereby streamlining resource intensive activity
• Provides a centralised back up for virtual machines ensuring a more eff ective and efficient back up process
• Accelerates deployment activities
• Improves business response times | | | As part of the solution off ered by us we also include v Center Server a vital piece of your virtual environment which delivers access to centralised administration, operational management and resource optimization. This technology will enable your business to expand the IT environment in a dynamic way based on actual needs thereby reducing costs, increasing levels of service, efficiency and reliability. Our solution off ers your business a virtual data centre independent of hardware which will streamline your processes, secure your data, refocus your resources and reduce costs. Is your business looking to enforce IT and compliance policies to ensure standardisation, compliant behaviour, operational efficiencies and cost management thereby increasing productivity and reducing expenditure? Consider the alternative to physical infrastructure – virtualisation. Our Experts in the design and implementation of virtual environments are able to discuss and qualify your requirements, providing you with full documentation, project management and the appropriate services to ensure a smooth and successful transition.
