Virtualisation

Virtualization Business is Project Business

Virtualisation is not a new technology and its roots go back to the 1960's where it was sometimes deployed in mainframe computing. However, the need to optimize networks and cut server related costs has fueled demand for this technology.

A virtualization solution is not a bundle of products. Unless the solution addresses a real need of the client, and is configured to work within their business environment to deliver optimum performance, it is just a collection of boxes.

Virtualisation is a different approach to managing hardware and the applications that run on it. Historically, companies required multiple servers to manage different applications such as email, print, internet, security, storage, CRM and ERP, to name a few. Virtualisation software now enables multiple applications to be managed on a single server.

• Advantages: Reducing the number of servers creates savings in many areas, namely hardware, maintenance and power consumption.

At the heart of the Azlan's solution portfolio are virtualization specialists VMware, Virtual Iron, Vizioncore, Datacore and Bladespin. With these vendor products our partners are able to provide the ultimate in scalable virtual architectures to deploy real business applications. To assist partners with the complete solution we have brought together specialist server, storage and network vendors like HP, IBM, Oracle, and Cisco, whose products have been re-engineered to support a virtualized infrastructure.
