Server Virtualisation helps your reduce high costs through server consolidation
increase response times, and enables "real time infrastructure"

You may be able to identify with some of these problems:

  • Under utilised "one-application per box" servers
  • Over-provisioning dedicated servers for “worst-case” workload scenarios
  • Long delays between change requests and operational changes
  • Long provisioning times for new servers, storage and networking
  • Inconsistent server builds due to a lack of build policies
  • Rushed patch roll-outs that break application functionality
  • Server sprawl through lack of server consolidation
  • Multiple management systems for Linux, Windows and Solaris servers

As a result of this today organisations want enable a 'real time infrastructure" to:

  • Reduce infrastructure costs
  • Respond faster to business needs
  • Increase the consistency and predictability of operations

Many enterprises have already migrated to storage area networks, for a flexible, lower cost, higher service level storage infrastructure. Implementing enterprise server virtualisation technologies now provides the same benefits for the rest of the IT infrastructure.

Virtualisation of dedicated server, storage and networking infrastructure helps reduce total cost of ownership (TCO) and provides almost immediate return on investment (ROI).

Reducing TCO through Server Virtualisation and Server Consolidation

Dedicated Server hardware and software costs are only one part of the costs associated with application deployment, but today companies are demanding a "real time" infrastructure. Understanding all the soft and hard costs of supporting and maintaining server hardware and software over time, organisations are uncovering other areas where new efficiencies or improvements can be made.

Recent research from VMware indicated Customers deploying Enterprise Server Virtualisation achieved the following results

  • Virtual Servers reduced server TCO by 74% on average by
    • Reducing data centre costs and avoiding costly investments in data centre expansions
  • Realised an ROI of over 300% within the first six months
  • Reduced the number of physical servers by 500% by
    • Consolidating workloads to maximise server utilisation
    • Consolidating idle resources and redeploy?ing those resources on new projects.
  • Reduced IT operations costs by 67% by
    • Increasing efficiencies in IT operations
    • Allowing system administrators to manage a higher number of servers
    • Simplifying management of diverse environments across Windows, Linux and Solaris.
    • Improving time and flexibility in implementation of new software services
  • Other benefits of Virtual Severs included
    • Increased disaster recovery capabilities
    • Building cost-effective and consistent development and test environments
    • Reducing costs in technical support, training and maintenance
