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:
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.
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.
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:
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.
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.
