Virtualising multiple operating systems and application stacks onto a virtual ready platform can be one of the most rewarding and operational cost reducing technology strategies available to the enterprise IT manager today. Taupo can assist your organisation to make this a reality right now. Strategic planning and a professional implementation of virtualisation delivers substantial benefits such as:

• Faster application deployment— Adding a server to a virtualised environment can take under an hour, versus days for a physical server.
• Better resource utilisation— virtualisation supports both static and dynamic allocation of processor, memory and I/O – allowing you to run multiple operating systems and applications from a single platform.
• Simplified management— The combination of software encapsulation, browser-based management and application consolidation substantially simplifies this centralised computing environment.
• Improved flexibility/scalability— Virtual machines can be added as needed to take advantage of hardware capacity or business requirements.
• More efficient development environment—Virtual machines make it easy to run multiple software iterations, including the production version, on the same machine.
• Ten-to-one server consolidation — Is not uncommon, which is especially suitable for relatively small applications that do not scale well across multiple processors. While these benefits are not exhaustive, they do represent the findings of many organisations that are now reaping the rewards of deploying an enterprise Virtual environment. One of the questions faced by the enterprise IT manager today when looking at virtualisation is ‘what technology should I deploy?’ We believe the answer to this question is… VMware! Why? VMware is the undisputed market leader and the only virtualisation solution available that is enterprise and production ready today. Our V Readiness Assessment service will not only tell you what servers can be virtualised but also demonstrate the pros and cons of the various technologies available. Additional partnerships with complimentary vendors solutions makes us uniquely placed to offer comprehensive virtualisation service from.

Fastrack a VMware Virtualised Infrastructure

• Planning – Defining the scope and objectives of a virtualisation evaluation, our consultants will typically interview key personnel to define responsibilities, project time scales and identify the organisations common goals. In conjunction with this we will analyse your current server estate to identify the most effective way of virtualising your current infrastructure.
• Deployment – Our consultants will ensure the evaluation environment is deployed correctly with your existing IT operational staff, stepping through several ‘physical to virtual’ server migrations, identifying the key application and data risks that reside within the company.
• Real Word Experience – You’ve heard about the benefits of tools such as VMotion, P2V and real time server provisioning, Fastrack will allow you to see how your organisation can take advantage of a VMware virtual infrastructure first hand.
• Analyse & Plan – Following your successful virtualisation evaluation we create a detailed assessment plan, highlighting the benefits of rolling out a virtual infrastructure across your organisation. Deliverables include a project implementation plan, technical architecture blueprints and project success criteria.
