The Big Benefits of Windows Server Consolidation

 

Virtualization can help you achieve cost savings through server consolidation and reduced power, space, and hardware maintenance costs, but your business also gains strategically in a number of ways...

- Server consolidation results in fewer resources to manage, power, store, and buy.

- Utilization rates for servers increase from 5 – 15% up to 60 – 80%.

- IT professionals are released from routine tasks, enabling them to take a more strategic role in the enterprise.

- A virtual infrastructure allows faster application provisioning and easier management of resources to meet ever-changing business needs.

- You get complete data protection, continuous application availability and automated disaster recovery across physical sites.

- Test more applications by deploying pre-production staging environments, resulting in less downtime for the applications that run the business.

- Automated patch management of server hosts and virtual machines and an integrated firewall decreases the operational costs of managing them.

VMware offers two packages that enable you to virtualize servers and consolidate application workloads:

VMware vSphere Essentials provides small offices with the means to consolidate and manage many application workloads while reducing hardware and operating costs with a low up-front investment.

VMware vSphere Essentials Plus adds high application availability and data protection for a complete server consolidation and business continuity solution.
 

There’s a lot more to virtualization. Sit down with our experts. Let's talk about your IT.  Contact us today at (877) 297-7472 or connect@cwps.com.

Web 2.0 and mobile technologies have profoundly altered the way business gets done, providing such capabilities as real-time information, interactive collaboration, and rich media to rapidly develop, evaluate and execute new concepts that improve your operational efficiency.

That’s why SonicWALL has issued Enterprise Security 2.0. This solution more effectively protects your business resources against emerging security threats that exploit the new Web 2.0 environment…

Network Security − scans and disinfects inbound and outbound traffic in real time over local, wide-area, mobile, wireless, converged, and virtualized networks, across Web 2.0 platforms and perimeters.

Secure Remote Access − enforces highly granular access control based on both user authentication and endpoint interrogation.

Email Security − protects against malware, botnets and data leakage in real time, and is flexibly deployable as software or hardened appliance.

Application Intelligence Firewall − extends the protection of SonicWALL’s firewalls beyond blocking traditional network threats to the management and control of data and applications that pass through the network security appliance.
