| The verdict is in - virtualization directly and immediately reduces IT costs. Along with cost savings in hardware, space, power and cooling, virtualized servers add hidden costs in management complexity as IT staffs scramble to stay ahead of sprawling environments.
As virtual environments spread, the resulting hardware failures are difficult to predict and fix. It’s especially challenging to pinpoint when servers will reach capacity and be rendered useless to the business users depending on them.
Because virtualized environments require constant balancing, companies are selectively outsourcing day-to-day monitoring and management to keep their IT staffs focused. InteQ can help by providing:
Monitoring: InfraWatch is a subscription-based, managed service that monitors and reports on virtualized environments as well as the underlying infrastructure.
Management: InfraOps is a subscription-based, managed service that provides 7/24 problem resolution as well as monitoring and reporting to help companies selectively outsource the operations and management of virtualized servers.
Assessment: Whether you already have a virtualized environment or are just starting out, InteQ’s consultants can help you identify which servers are the best candidates for virtualization taking licensing, utilization and other restrictions into account, and recommend a virtualized architecture that meets your needs.
Hosting for virtualized infrastructures.
Gaining long-term costs savings from virtualization requires balance. InteQ can help you fine-tune your virtualized environment as it expands to effectively manage capacity and performance and gain the ROI that virtualization promises. |
