Server and desktop virtualisation is a hot topic in most forward looking businesses. Virtualisation allows you to make the best use of hardware invesments by consolidating multiple computers as separate virtual machines (VMs) running on a single physical machine.
Substantial operational and cost benefits
Virtualisation was once thought of as a technology for the enterprise. Our view is that it is equally relevant to small and medium sized businesses. Some of our clients have successful virtualised solutions even thought they have less than 20 staff. No matter what size the organisation, virtualising servers can drive down cost and offer long term flexibility.
Virtual servers have also revolutionised business continuity planning. Providing dedicated disaster recovery systems is no longer prohibitively expensive when utilising virtualisation technology and enables businesses of all sizes to put in place robust safeguards that were once only with the reach of the enterprise.
ISN are accredited experts in the field of virtualization. Our consultants are certified by vendors such as VMWare, Citrix Xen and Microsoft to provide businesses with expert help to realise the benefits that virtualisation can bring.
