Virtualization takes off!
Small and midsize business jump on board

 

One of the hottest buzz words these days is “virtualization”. This refers to the ability to run multiple virtual machines on a single physical machine, sharing the resources of that single computer across multiple OS environments. CWPS enables this, working with industry leaders, like VMware.
 

The cost savings has SMBs jumping on board. According to a study by Aberdeen Group, organizations conducting server, desktop, and storage virtualization projects are experiencing 18% reductions in infrastructure costs and 15% savings in utility costs. Virtualization offers many other benefits …

- Ensure your business applications perform with the highest availability and performance

- Improve disaster recovery options and deliver high availability throughout the datacenter

- Reduce capital costs by requiring less hardware and increasing your server to admin ratio

- Deploy desktops faster and with fewer support calls due to application conflicts

- Create a virtual PC environment on a Mac to run all your Windows applications

Virtualization can scale across hundreds of interconnected computers and storage devices to form an entire virtual infrastructure. You don’t need to assign servers, storage, or network bandwidth permanently to each application. Instead, resources are dynamically allocated when and where they’re needed.
 


IT operations are more efficient and effective with virtualization. Your staff can handle double or triple the number of servers, giving users access to the services they need while retaining centralized control.

CWPS virtualization experts are ready to help you bring these and other IT benefits to your business. Call us today at (877) 297-7472 or email connect@cwps.com.

Easy Data Protection means
Easy Data Restores when [not if] you lose data

 

Maintaining a usable, secure copy of your data requires effort. You'll eventually need to restore your data, but backups can be burdensome …

- Server-side tape drives require more equipment, more staff, and more time

- Backing up distributed servers with individual storage is cumbersome

- LAN-based backup degrades network performance

- Long backup windows reduce productivity

- Restoring data from backup can take days and data integrity is not assured

We eliminate the hassle. Our EASY DATA PROTECTION service automatically backs up data on your servers on-site and off-site all day long, enabling you to:

- Reduce admin burden

- Eliminate long backup windows and minimize disruption

- Access multiple versions of files, not just the latest one

- Integrate with any operating system

- Benefit from an all-inclusive, flat-rate pricing model

All the hardware and software you need is included in our EASY DATA PROTECTION service. There’s no in-house set-up or daily management to bother with. If you lose a server, you just call us. We’ll restore the operating system, applications and data from the last image file stored locally or at our data center.

Don’t put off EASY DATA PROTECTION any longer − you could be exposing your business to unnecessary risk. Contact us today at (877) 297-7472 or connect@cwps.com.
