In our experiences, we have found that many servers in organisations of all sizes are used well below their capacity, and therefore you are not getting the full value out of your requipment.
What is virtualisation?
Every now and again, a new technology comes to the market that changes the horizion - and virtualisation is "it" today.
In it's basic description, virtualisation is a way to use one physical server to run several 'virtual' servers. Yes, you read that right. One server runs more than one virtual server. This means that if you have one physical server in your organisation, and you need to add a second server to perform a different task, there's a chance you could use virtualisation to run that second server and SAVE THOUSANDS of dollars on new hardware purchases, thus increasing the ROI on your initial server purchase.
What's the catch? This sounds too good to be true!
We'd be leading you up the garden path if we tried to tell you that there wasn't limitations or implications with virtualisation - there are some, but there is almost always a way around these issues. Many of the issues can be resolved with a careful implemenation plan.
Consolidation Opportunities.
Have you looked at how many servers your business is maintaining today? What is all that equipment costing you to insure, power, maintain, repair and cool every financial year?
Imagine if there was a way to reduce the clutter, free up space in your computer room and lower your expenditure on your IT equipment, not to mention doing your bit for the environment? Well, the good news is that there is.
With some careful planning, you could consolidate several servers down to one physical server, and you can retire or recycle your now free equipment.
