Overview

Due to tightening IT budgets and the need to reduce complexity within IT environments, organizations are turning to server consolidation through technologies like virtualization.

Two factors are increasing the complexity and cost of maintain servers in data centers:

• The cost of server hardware is declining
• Vendors are demanding a dedicated server for their applications

This means that as businesses scale and more applications get introduced into organizations, the IT departments tend to buy more servers and this has led to an explosion of servers in the data centre.

The increase of servers in the data centre has meant more pressure on power, cooling and floor space. From 2005 to 2010, the energy consumed by data centre servers and associated infrastructure has more than quadrupled! All of this is happening in an environmentally conscious world where the pressures on governments and organizations to reduce the carbon footprint are enormous.

Always UP IT can assist organizations in clawing back control of the date centre. We can help organizations significantly reduce the costs of their IT operations whilst also enhancing the efficiencies by virtualizing computing, storage and network systems.

Our solutions and services will benefit organizations by:

• Decreasing Total Cost of Operations (TCO) by reducing complexity.
• Optimize resource utilization by Centralizing the server infrastructure.
• Reduce costs by Consolidation of servers' i.e. actual reduction in the number of physical servers within the environment.
• Resolution of data centre issues around power, cooling, space etc.
