"GLH Construction has utilized Connecting Point’s expertise in our computer systems for many years. In our business, down time is not an option, and Connecting Point has designed our Network with off-site replication in the event of a disaster, thus allowing us access to our information the same day. We utilize their managed services for proper security protection of our data, and when we need help we call their help desk for the on-site engineers to keep our systems running smoothly, just like our machinery in the field."

Virtualization Solutions

VMware Technology, Solutions, and Service for Colorado and Denver Companies 


Key Benefits of Virtualization


Virtualization is about efficiency: it saves energy, money and time. It’s about flexibility: it allocates resources and maximizes capacity. It’s good business: there are few IT solutions with higher or more measureable ROI.


Key Benefits Include:

  • Reduced CapEx: slash hardware expenses with fewer resources to buy, manage, power and store.
  • Support Business Goals: connect and manage resources to meet changing business requirements. Provision new environments and applications in minutes, not hours.
  • Improve Business Continuity: continuous application and server availability with automated disaster recovery.
  • Improve Application Quality and Deployment: test applications and optimize production environments on the fly with minimal downtime to business critical applications.
  • Enhanced Security: automate updates and tap into the built-in redundancy of consolidated, data center environments.

Virtualization in an integral component in trends toward cloud computing, in which companies can access IT resources via the internet and pay based on consumption.


It is also a key Green IT solution because of the reduction in resource consuming sever sprawl.


Your Colorado VMware Partner


VMware is the industry leader in virtualization technology, and Connecting Point is VMware VIP Partner. This certification means that Connecting Point can sell and support the entire VMware Infrastructure 3 product line.

Through VMware, Connecting Point can deliver transformative cost savings as well as increased operational efficiency, flexibility and IT service levels to your business.


Virtualization for SMBs


The time has come for your small or medium size business to take advantage of virtualization technology. These solutions now offer many of the same benefits to smaller organizations as they do to enterprises, including:

  • Lower Up Front Costs, Capital and Operating Expenses
  • Faster Time to Market
  • Reduced Financial Risk
  • Decreased Downtime
  • Streamlined Infrastructure Management

Your SMB can take advantage of Connecting Point’s Northern Colorado based Data Center to virtualize and host your server(s). You expand levels of security, redundancy, and bandwidth while eliminating the need to procure and maintain server hardware on-site.


Don’t consider a capital outlay for server hardware without getting a free analysis and proposal on VMware virtualization solutions supported by Connecting Point.


Server Virtualization Basics


Virtualization technology allows multiple virtual servers with distinct operating systems to run in isolation, side-by-side, on the same physical machine, creating consolidated, high capacity environments. Software like VMware’s vSphere creates an abstraction layer that partitions the individual systems. Each server is fully isolated and encapsulated with its own CPU, memory, Ethernet, and disk; they run in isolation just as they would in a physical environment.


Virtualization also changes provisioning of application and server environments. With a traditional physical server, procuring the hardware, installing and patching the operating system, and installing and configuring applications could take weeks. With virtualization, all of this is done with software and can be completed in minutes.


Consolidation ratios of up to 20 to 1 result in huge savings and efficiencies in terms of hardware, data center and facilities costs, as well as operational, management and maintenance costs. For enterprises, this results in tremendous ROI with the reduction of data center sprawl. For SMBs, this can mean the elimination of server hardware purchases entirely as they access their infrastructure as a service from a centralized data center.
