Virtualisation - an Introduction

Organisations are faced with constantly evolving challenges. Employees are continually being encouraged to produce ‘more for less’ and small IT budgets and business plans for growth don’t appear to meet in the middle.

What is Virtualisation?

Virtualisation rationalises your IT to enhance its productivity. By assessing your IT outputs and requirements our trained Equanet consultants can recommend the best solution for you detailing where and how virtualisation could benefit your business.

Equanet can scope, plan and implement your virtualisation projects helping you manage your IT resources more effectively, meaning:

  • Cost savings
    • Less energy to power servers
    • Less energy for cooling servers
    • Less space required in data centres.
  • More time to: 
    • Provision new servers
    • Be proactive with your IT environment.
  • Better for all
    • Less carbon emissions - improved carbon footprint
    • Less down time and more up time for the business - improved business continuity
    • Less people needed for admin - deploy more effectively.
  • Ultimately
    • More efficient infrastructure with lower cost of total ownership
    • More time and money to invest elsewhere. 

Virtualisation technology can be deployed across your entire IT estate. All elements of the estate – servers, desktops, networks, storage devices and applications can be virtualised.
