Data Management - Virtualisation
Pretty much everyone recognizes the value of server virtualisation today. It’s fast becoming the de facto standard. So if you see value in server virtualisation, have you ever thought how virtualisation could apply across the rest of your infrastructure? And have you thought about the operational implications of moving to a virtual infrastructure?
We don’t just deploy server virtualisation technologies. We think that taking a holistic view of virtualisation pays dividends. And holistic for us means looking at:
- Networks – what new demands will virtualisation make on your networks?
- Servers – what can you virtualise, what will the architecture look like, how do you define standard processes for server provisioning, how do you manage it?
- Storage – what is the total utilisation of your storage infrastructure, can I you consolidate all of your storage into one shared platform and how do you manage it?
- File systems – are you storing data on the most appropriate device, how do you maximise utilisation for file servers and filers, how do you migrate data with minimum risk and without downtime?
- Databases – can you create a single pooled database resource and how do you manage “Data as a Service”?
- Desktops – will virtual desktops provide benefits, could you use them strategically or tactically?
- Applications – is your current method of deploying applications optimal, could you save money and time by virtualising some or all applications?
Our expertise across all the above areas means we can make sense of the virtual infrastructure world and drive business value.
