Server Virtualisation

Virtualise and consolidate your existing server infrastructure

A virtualised server allows you to host multiple operating systems and applications locally, without the requirements to have a separate server for each operating system or application. In this way it is possible to take multiple servers from different physical locations, each hosting different operating systems and applications and consolidate these into one or more virtualised servers.

Server consolidation of this type has numerous immediate advantages such as a reduction in support and maintenance costs, reduced power consumption and increased space in server rooms and cabinets.

SDT's team of consultants can help you achieve this. By analysing your current server infrastructure we can advise you on which technology to adopt (including ESX Server and Virtual Iron) and on how to achieve the optimum results.

Our engineering team can then help you to migrate your existing infrastructure and data across to a new virtualised environment.

5 Reasons to Virtualise

Server Consolidation and Infrastructure Optimisation
Server Virtualisation enables you to achieve significantly higher resource utilsation by the pooling of common infrastructure resources.

Physical Infrastructure Cost Reduction
With server virtualisation, you can reduce the number of physical servers and related IT hardware in the data centre. This can lead to a reduction in space utilised in your data centre or server room and a reduction in power/cooling requirements. Both of these can result in a considerable reduction in IT related costs.

Improved Operational Flexibility & Responsiveness
Virtualisation offers a different way of managing your IT infrastructure and can help your IT administrators to spend less time on repetitive tasks such as configuration, provisioning and maintenance.

Increased Application Availability & Improved Business Continuity
Eliminate planned downtime and recover quickly from unplanned outages with the ability to securely backup and migrate entire virtual environments with no interruption in service.

Improved Desktop Manageability & Security
Deploy, manage and monitor secure desktop environments that end users can access locally or remotely, with or without a network connection, on almost any standard desktop, laptop or tablet PC.
