Consolidation and Virtualisation Services

Windows Server 2008 Packaged Service
For businesses that are struggling to manage an increasingly complex IT infrastructure, virtualisation provides many benefits. With the average server only utilised to 10-15% of their capacity, a virtualisation solution can typically reduce the server estate by a factor or 5-10. With fewer servers to manage and secure, this has a profound effect on both capital and operational expenditure and significantly reduces the overall carbon footprint of the datacentre.

Who is this service right for?
Your customer may have expanding server loads or under-utilised capacity and will be faced with the increasing cost of power and cooling. Gartner have predicted that by 2010, 50% of a company’s IT budget will be spent on this alone. These customers will be interested in the cost-saving benefits that consolidation has to offer.
