Virtualization

Your optimal network design may encompass both physical and virtual infrastructure. ADNET can help you plan a virtualization strategy that helps you consolidate and manage your resources, lower your costs, and improve business continuity.

ADNET can help you assess your current infrastructure and make recommendations for consolidating outdated and difficult-to-support hardware, establish a redundant design to further reduce vulnerabilities, and create replicated environments offsite to maximize your business continuity. Migrating physical servers to a virtual environment can help your organization achieve:

• Reliability
  With your servers no longer dependant on outdated and disparate hardware, your infrastructure can more capably support your critical business applications.
  
  
• Sustainability
  Virtualization and offsite data replication enable your organization to fully recover from unplanned outages in a matter of moments, not hours, days, or weeks.
  
  
• Flexibility
  ADNET’s proactive approach is designed to meet your immediate priorities and concerns while providing you with a scalable foundation for future capabilities and functionality. We work with you to determine where you need to be today, and where you want to be tomorrow.
  
  
• Manageability
  Our complete and integrated server management solutions work with both virtual and physical servers, providing your organization with a truly agile infrastructure. With features like virtual machine reconfiguration, flexible resource control, and quick migration, you’ll be able to dynamically manage your servers and respond quickly to changing requirements and sudden problems.
  
  
• Affordability
  With virtualization as a piece of your upgrade strategy, your organization will experience a lower total cost of ownership by eliminating the need for support on outdated hardware, reducing your energy costs, and increasing your server utilization rates.

IT Challenges & Priorities

These are some of the challenges we hear from others - what are your priorities?

• “Servers remained underutilized in 2008 with an estimated 53 percent server utilization.”
  - Network World, January 22, 2009
  
  
• “Datacenters accounted for 1.5 percent of all electricity use in 2005 … and according to IDC, n 2010 there will be … triple the number (of servers) that existed in 2000.”
  - Entrepreneur, August 2008
  
  
• “IT knows their [systems] are vulnerable … but it's very hard to get funding for disaster recovery because you can't necessarily use models like return on investment (ROI) and total cost of ownership (TCO).”
  - Computerworld, May 2, 2008
  
  
• “Applications continue to grow in number and complexity. Storage continues to grow but is also underutilized.”
