How can I do more with less?
For years it was common practice to just add another one-box/one-function server into the network whenever more services were needed, which has resulted in the complex IT environments that managers are faced with today. The pressure on IT budgets and the need to reduce the overall complexity have created the perfect environment for consolidated solutions. A virtualized environment allows you to utilize more versatile technologies to respond to ever changing IT demands and face business requirements as they rise and fall. Virtualization technology adds value to your business by increasing flexibility, scalability, ease of management, and responsiveness. One of the key advantages of a virtualized solution is the consolidation of operations and hardware, and to equally reduce costs. Another key advantage is the ease of deployment and fast responsiveness in a disaster recovery scenario. There are many solutions for many platforms and technologies. Operating systems, server & client applications, and many network appliances can be consolidated and virtualized. Let Ferranti advise you in this feature rich world of technologies that has matured rapidly into an installed base of solutions.
