Virtualisation: driving IT
costs and complexity down
|
|
Lets face it when your Enterprise
Network requires multiple servers an
analysis will show “Server
Utilization Low , Uptime not what it
should be , Administration Costs
Rising” and it can take weeks to
deploy a new application. Plus
senior management thinks IT is a
money pit.
Virtualisation, consolidation, Power
on Demand, [micro] partitioning… How
can these technologies contribute to
dynamically adapt the server
infrastructure to operational
requirements – and help you drive
down Total Cost of Ownership and IT
infrastructure complexity.
Studies show that most enterprise
servers are used on average at only
20% of their capacity. In addition,
sharing of resources is technically
complex and discouraged. This
situation significantly increases
the cost of server infrastructures.
Adding to the capital cost is the
requirement for directly attached
disk devices, SAN connectivity, SAN
switch costs, the LAN infrastructure
as well as floor space and
electricity/cooling overhead.
Last but not least, administration
costs are skyrocketing because each
server must be 100% managed even
when used at only 10% of its
capacity.
As a result, server consolidation
has been on IT managers’ agendas for
several years in order to reduce
costs and complexity. However, many
projects did not deliver the
promised return on investment in the
past, due to immature but expensive
technologies offering little
flexibility.
Today DVS Computers through their
data centre and hosting experience
using state of the art software with
easy to use administration tools
provides a break-through in
consolidation capabilities through
virtualizations unique multi-layer,
automated workload management model.
At last, IT managers can now
significantly drive down Total Cost
of Ownership, infrastructure
complexity and the need for human
intervention.
Just think create servers at the
click of a mouse , automate load
balancing on hardware nodes , clone
a virtual server and all it`s
applications to test a new
application safely, move virtual
servers between nodes with zero
downtime and much much more.

Features and Benefits In Brief
Isolated Partitions
Applications do not conflict and
users can only see authorized data.
Resource Management
Manage the resources of 30+
parameters. Change parameters in
real-time without affecting
applications or servers. Flexible
resource management allows resource
minimums and maximums, and the
ability to use unclaimed resources
on the server.
Management Tools
Effectively manage many virtual
private servers and servers with a
single interface across platforms.
Automate and simplify many
administrative tasks.
Migration
Move between Virtual servers with
near-zero downtime. No SAN required.
Templates and Configurations
Provision in minutes, pre-determined
server configurations.
Real-Time Monitoring and Alerts
Real-time server performance metrics
and alerts enable effective
management of servers and
applications.
Cloning
Copy a virtual private server with
new network parameters and produce a
usable copy of the original virtual
private server for testing and many
other uses.
Backup & Restore
Online backup and restore capability
to ensure data protection and
availability.
