Virtualisation
Most IT organisations have considered or are considering the benefits of "virtualisation", particularly server virtualisation, which is essentially about maximising the value of modern hardware by configuring it to apparently run multiple servers within a single hardware box, or many servers within a small stack of boxes.
In addition to the obvious hardware savings provided by virtualisation, there are other benefits in improved management of the server estate, and improved reliability through the logical separation of different / incompatible functions that would otherwise be combined in a single server for economy.
SBA's consultants have reviewed and used most popular server virtualisation technologies, from the very expensive to the very cheap (and expensive is not necessarily better), and can advise you on adopting and optimising the virtualisation of your server estate to gain dramatic savings in hardware and energy utilisation alongside improved manageability, reliability and resilience.
Call us if you would like to explore the benefits of virtualisation with assistance from consultants who are not tied to any virtualisation provider, and you may find that the solution you adopt costs considerably less than you would expect.
