Virtualization
Teneo's Virtualization solutions empower organizations to deal with today’s increasing demands of exploding IT infrastructure, growth and complexity. Most companies are now supporting numerous servers each performing an intricacy of configurations. At the same time the pressure is on to control costs, streamline assets and processes, simplify IT systems and enhance business agility.
Our virtualization solutions empower organizations to:
- Increase ROI and reduce total cost of ownership by more efficient use of resources
- Provide higher levels of service to end users
- Simplify IT systems and improve manageability
- Increase flexibility and responsiveness of IT
Virtualisation allows you to transform hardware into software. Specialist solutions are used to convert hardware resources such as CPU, RAM, Hard Disk and Network Controller into a virtual machine capable of running an operating system and applications. Creating a virtual machine means that numerous applications or file servers can be run on a single (or fewer) hardware platform because virtual machines share hardware resources without interfering with each other. Sharing resources becomes considerably more efficient in terms of server specification, data centre footprint, power requirements, hardware maintenance and Operating System licences. In addition to this, because software is effectively “uncoupled” from hardware, it becomes easier to plan and operate a disaster recovery policy. Virtual machines can be easily backed up or replicated off site and made operational in the event that the disaster recovery plan needs to be actioned. Equally straightforward is the provisioning of new virtual servers for new applications or for testing purposes.
Using specialised tools and expertise, Teneo’s Virtualisation Assessment (TVA) Service will discover and audit your server infrastructure on a corporate wide basis. A number of metrics will be logged such as Vendor, CPU, RAM, Hard disk, operating system and patch level and applications that are running. We will also look at the workload and usage patterns for these servers. Performance is automatically monitored over a 30 day period to identify how resources are being used, with a view to clearly highlighting inefficiencies and opportunities for improvement. A full report is provided to the customer, identifying where servers can be virtualized and an overview of the benefits of doing so.
Teneo partners with market leading virtualization vendors such as VMware, Virtual Iron and PlateSpin. Teneo works with organizations to understand their individual goals and provide the virtualization solutions that are most suited to address these specific challenges.
VMware solutions are used by enterprises large and small to increase the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of their IT operations. VMware software can help consolidate servers, optimize software development and provide affordable business continuity.
Virtual Iron is a server virtualization & virtual infrastructure management solution which is extremely popular with medium and small organizations. The product offers comparable capabilities and performance to established offerings and is easy to deploy, use and manage.
PlateSpin data center automation solutions optimize the use of server resources across the enterprise. Virtualization solutions include physical-to-virtual (P2V) server consolidation, disaster recovery, server optimization and test lab automation.
