Application and server virtualization provide another means for deriving maximum utility and value from a business’ hardware investment. From employee desktop computers to the server room, virtualization helps businesses save capital investment and operating expense by consolidating the application burden across fewer servers. Virtualization eliminates underutilization of existing hardware thereby increasing the operational efficiency of a business’ IT infrastructure without the need for additional hardware capacity. In addition to increasing the return on an existing level of IT investment, businesses will enjoy additional savings by reducing future energy consumption and support costs that would have been incurred without a virtualized environment.
Comprehensive Solutions for Maximum Impact
TXI will analyze your current operational situation, devise an appropriate virtualization strategy and then implement that plan helping the business realize maximum return on their IT investment. Every aspect of the IT landscape, including desktops, servers and applications, is considered as a part of our assessment with tailored solutions for each major area that work together for peak impact. We document and evaluate the specific performance needs required for people to do their jobs to the utmost. Solutions typically encompass one or more of these impact areas:
Desktop Virtualization. Application performance at the desktop is easily improved through a variety of tactics including server-based applications accessed via the web or even terminal services. As a result, employees need less personal support while their productive use of their computer improves since application performance, flexibility and availability is up.
Server Consolidation. A consolidated server solution focused on your working environment and throughput needs exploits underutilized server assets delivers short term and long term improvements in efficiency as server utilization is increased. Don’t forget that energy costs and future hardware expenditures are reduced as well.
Enterprise Applications. Enterprise applications including email, database, middleware as well as things like ERP and CRM, can be one of the largest consumers of hardware, software and IT support resources within most mid-size businesses. Virtualizing those applications centralizes administration and support thereby reducing the demand for precious resources. When coupled with a server consolidation strategy, hardware and software costs can be reduced as well. Most importantly, the business can act nimbly and quickly without IT getting in the way.
