Virtualisation & Server Consolidation
- Increased ultilisation of server hardware.
- Higher availability and fault tolerance.
- Comprehensive backup & disaster recovery.
Virtualisation as a technology has gained a lot of momentum over the past half decade. Virtualisation allows servers, applications, desktops and other software systems to simutaniously on a single piece of hardware using a hypervisor.
Over the past few years a number of developments have been made that have brought virtualisation to the forefront of the IT department's consideration. With VMware's introduction of their vSphere product, advances in the areas of Disaster Recovery, High-Availability, Fault-Tolerance and Clustering have become services provisioned at the hypervisor level ra ther than the operating system or application level.
This has resulted simpler, more robust and highly scable evironments for server infrastructure, whilst provisioning for higher return on investment, by allowing higher utilisation of individual systems.
Precision IT has partnered with VMware enabling us to bring virtualisation solutions to our clients. We have experience dealing with numerous types of deployments, achieving the following outcomes.
- Server Consolidation Sydney and Server Consolidation Brisbane (anywhere really!)
- Automatic load distribution with VMware DRS
- VMware High-Availability Clustering
- VMware Consolidated Backup integration with Commvault & Symantec Backup Exec.
- Test and Development Lab Setup
- Desktop Virtualisation.
- Reduction of Power Consumption
- Disaster Recovery & Site Replication.
