Start with a Virtualization
Assessment –
An Abtech Systems and VMware
Virtualization Assessment will provide you a clear picture of server
consolidation opportunities within your existing physical IT infrastructure.
Using sophisticated data collection tools, we can assess your current server
environment to determine potential cost savings and help to prepare you to roll
out a well defined virtualization solution.
What do you receive?
-
Up to 30 days of system and
performance data for existing Windows servers in your environment. To
collect the data, a consultant installs a Data Collector Manager at one site
(one collector)
-
Data analysis for up to 200
existing Windows servers
-
Server consolidation and
virtualization assessment report including a preliminary total cost of
ownership analysis of the sampled environment, and recommendations
-
Storage assessment including
analysis of your primary data systems and back-up strategies with
recommendations applying to server consolidation planning
How do you benefit?
-
Estimate cost savings potential
from server consolidation
-
Estimate required server hardware
and VMware licenses to achieve consolidation
-
Use data collection, scenario
creation, and optimization analysis
-
Accelerate the assessment process
with qualified server consolidation experience
-
Management can make informed
decisions for reducing costs in the data center
Are you a candidate?
Any company planning server consolidation projects that need guidance on sizing
requirements and justification of expenditures to facilitate consolidation via
virtualization is a strong candidate for the assessment.
What is Virtualization?
Virtualization dramatically improves
the efficiency and availability of resources and applications in your
organization. For most IT departments, internal resources (servers) are
underutilized with a “one server : one application” model that wastes resources
and capital.
One server : one application – the
current data center model –
Where’s the waste?
-
Energy resources such as power
and cooling
-
CPU utilization (Currently around
15% utilized per server / application)
-
Space utilization (floor, rack,
data center)
-
Network and SAN Support (more
ports for more servers)
-
Hardware Maintenance Costs
-
Adminstration
-
New server / desktop /
application roll outs
-
Development project
commissioning
-
Server & desktop management
IT administrators spend a great deal
of time managing servers rather than working on projects that drive revenue for
the company.
You can respond to market dynamics
faster and more efficiently with an automated server infrastructure, built on a
VMware virtualization platform. VMware vSphere delivers resources, applications
and servers automatically, when and where they’re needed. VMware customers
typically save 50-70% on overall IT costs by consolidating their resource pools
and delivering highly available machines with VMware vSphere.
Manage your Resources with the
Lowest TCO –
It’s not just virtualization that’s
important. You need the management tools to operate those machines and the
ability to run the wide selection of applications and infrastructure services
your business relies on to stay ahead. VMware allows you to increase service
availability while eliminating mundane, error-prone manual tasks. IT operations
become more efficient and effective with VMware virtualization. Your staff can
easily manage up to three times the number of servers, giving users access to
services they need while having centralized control. VMware delivers built-in
availability, security, and performance from the desktop to the datacenter.
VMware vSphere at the core of your
virtual data center –
-
Run multiple operating systems on
a single computer including Windows, Linux and more.
-
Reduce capital costs by
increasing energy efficiency and requiring less hardware and increasing your
server-to-admin ratio
-
Ensure your enterprise
applications perform with the highest availability and performance
-
Build up business continuity
through improved disaster recovery solutions and deliver high availability
throughout the datacenter
-
Improve enterprise desktop
management & control with faster deployment of desktops and fewer support
calls due to application conflicts
-
Create and manage an internal
Private Cloud with future connection to external cloud services for large
third party providers
Virtualize Everything™
Abtech Systems provides unique in
depth analysis that considers critical core-applications as well as other
applications and systems that have a significant impact on your bottom line.
Don’t just stop with server
virtualization. Consider virtualizing power & network equipment, front-end web
and application servers, load balancers, network appliances and other
applications that can benefit from a consolidation plan providing you with
increased flexibility, better scalability, higher availability and a reduced
footprint.
In fact, join the Abtech
Virtualizaiton challenge and VIRTUALIZE EVERYTHING™ with an assessment that
identifies these additional candidates for consolidation and virtualization, and
we will show you where you can realize additional cost savings in your new
virtual data center.
