VMWARE Virtual Assessment consulting services & sales by Abtech Systems

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.
