Home Services Solutions Virtualisation Server Virtualisation

As datacenter space, systems and budgets come under increasing pressure, server virtualisation can help organisations achieve more with less.

By reducing the volume of physical assets and increasing utilisation, sever virtualisation will not only enable your organisation to cut datacenter overheads but also maintain business agility and minimise energy consumption.

With over a decade of experience of delivering complex enterprise virtualisation projects, Computacenter will help you unlock the full potential of server virtualisation.

We offer a wide range of services that will help you maximise the benefits of virtualisation at every stage of your journey. Whether you want to expand your virtualisation efforts to more business critical systems or need to address the issue of server sprawl, we have proven processes and best practice tools to help you on this journey. These will enable you to:

• Gain a better understanding of your existing assets
• Carry out proof of concept exercises at our world-class testing environment the Solutions Centre
• Pinpoint systems that are suitable for virtualisation
• Simplify data migration, consolidation and capacity management
• Safeguard information security
• Efficiently manage virtual servers on a day-to-day basis
• Identify alternative approaches to disaster recovery

Maximise return on investment

Failing to achieve the expected return on investment (ROI) from server virtualisation is a common pitfall, as demonstrated by recent research from the National Computing Centre. The research, which is exclusively available for download from this site, shows that more than 60 per cent of organisations have made operational and capital savings through server virtualisation. However, only six per cent of respondents have achieved the expected ROI.

Computacenter's end-to-end service capability and experience means we can help you mitigate implementation risks and optimise operational procedures to ensure your organisation achieves maximum ROI from server virtualisation.

The server estate is just the beginning of the virtualisation roadmap - desktops networking components, security devices, applications and storage systems can all be virtualised to achieve even greater IT efficiency.

By taking an end-to-end approach to virtualisation that is aligned to business needs, you will not only be able to achieve a higher ROI but also:

• Achieve year-on-year cost savings
• Support innovation and growth
• Minimise business downtime and risk
• Simplify datacenter management through automation
• Improve asset utilisation and capacity planning
• Reduce energy usage and carbon emissions
