Server Containment and Consolidation

SICL knows that as organisations grow they need to rapidly add computing power, usually by continually installing new servers running a range of applications and operating systems. This is termed ‘Server Sprawl’, and is increasingly expensive in terms of capital cost, human resources, space and power.

Virtualisation is a proven technology which enables one computer to perform the functions of many, by sharing resources across multiple environments. As the clear market leader in server virtualisation, VMware provides the ideal solution to these problems by enabling fast consolidation and containment of your server estate.

Principal Reasons to Virtualise

• Server Consolidation means significantly higher resource utilisation
• Infrastructure Cost Savings resulting from a reduced number of servers – by as much as 90%. Improved Operational Flexibility & Responsiveness by managing IT infrastructure and resources more effectively.
• Increased Application Availability & Improved Business Continuity by eliminating planned downtime, and enhancing back up and recovery times.
• Improved Desktop Manageability & Security by deploying, managing, and monitoring secure desktop environments that end users can access in virtually any device.

A fully-accredited VMware Enterprise Partner, SICL can provide our clients with a full range of virtualisation services, from initial capacity planning to installation, configuration, and ongoing support.
