Northwest Computer Support offers a variety of virtualization solutions to help your business consolidate its hardware assets. We offer the latest technologies in desktop, application, and server virtualization. Consolidating systems from several platforms, even with different operating systems, reduces administrative overhead and provides centralized management capabilities. Imagine a single management station that can configure and provision volumes, manage backups, and monitor capacity utilization for many systems.
By implementing Northwest Computer Support's virtualization solutions, many businesses have cut their hardware and energy operating costs by as much as 80%, while improving efficiency and control for their IT departments.
Many industry analysts estimate that average IT departments use somewhere between 5-25% of their servers capacity. Utilizing server virtualization to maximize the use of underutilized servers will yield immediate cost savings. Less hardware is needed. Less energy consumption is used, and there is a reduced labor cost associated with maintenance of physical servers.
Server Virtualization
Server virtualization is the masking of server resources, including the number and identity of individual physical servers, processors, and operating systems, from server users. The server administrator uses a software application to divide one physical server into multiple isolated virtual environments. Virtualizing servers allows you to decrease the amount of server hardware your company needs, and server resources you use. With virtualization, one physical server can run a number of different virtual servers.
Other Benefits of Virtualization:
Northwest Computer Support also offers consolidation solutions for applications, and desktops. Each of these solutions is designed to save your business money, and give you greater control over the management of your IT infrastructure.
