Generally, when people think of virtualization, it is most often considered to mean server consolidation. But infrastructure virtualization is as dynamic, complex, diverse and individual as the people and organizations that use it. That is why it is highly recommended to work with highly-trained, seasoned professionals who can help you navigate around common pitfalls and take advantage of little-known tricks to achieve seamless integration and maximum optimization.
And is it as great as advertised? We think so - so much that it is the foundation of our own internal infrastructure. By using it every day, we are not only reminded of the ease of management, powerful functionality and the time/ cost savings but we enhance our field-knowledge of best practices for optimization, troubleshooting and integration. |

| Let's begin with the basics - Server Consolidation |
Server sprawl, rising energy and cooling costs, platform dependencies and time shortages are all side affects from traditional infrastructure designs. With a virtualized infrastructure, you cut capital and operating costs while increasing IT service delivery without being locking into limited choices of operating systems, applications and hardware.
- Reduce hardware and operating costs by as much as 50% and energy costs by 80%, saving more than $3,000 per year for every server workload virtualized
- Reduce the time it takes to provision new servers by up to 70%
- Decrease downtime and improve reliability with business continuity and built-in data disaster recovery
- Deliver IT services on-demand now and in the future, independent of hardware, OS, application or infrastructure providers

| The next virtualization technology is Desktop virtualization. |
Increase efficiency, reliability and availability when you deliver desktops from the datacenter. Virtual desktops create a more flexible business infrastructure so you can quickly respond to changing business needs as well as deploy faster and with fewer help-desk calls for improved business continuity. Costs will go down and service levels will go up.
Desktop virtualization can be used in a variety of ways:
- business continuity and recovery
- as a managed service
- remote or branch office access
- Windows 7 Migration
