Servers & Virtualisation
The machines the business actually computes on, physical and virtual, deployed and organised so each workload has the capacity it needs and IT has one place to manage them.
What it is
Fewer boxes, more headroom, one place to look.
The machines the business actually computes on, physical and virtual, deployed and organised so each workload has the capacity it needs and IT has one place to manage them.
Virtualisation is usually the heart of it: several servers’ worth of workloads consolidated onto properly sized hosts, each isolated, each recoverable, none tied to one ageing box.
When a business needs it
You will recognise it before anyone names it.
- Workloads sit on ageing machines nobody dares restart
- Every new system means buying another server
- One hardware failure would take several systems down with it
- Test and production share a machine because there was nowhere else
What we deliver
- 01Workloads mapped: what runs where, what it needs, what depends on it
- 02Deployment of virtualisation hosts sized for the real workload
- 03Consolidation and migration of existing workloads onto them
- 04Documentation of the resulting environment at handover
How it connects
A system is only as good as its joins.
- Business systems drawing on shared capacity rather than a dedicated box each
- Backup taken at the virtualisation layer, one method for every workload
- Identity and access controlling who reaches which machine
- Monitoring under a support agreement watching hosts, not just guests
