VMware Solutions

Would you like to save money by reducing your TCO and get a better ROI, then consider moving those noisy servers out of your office and into our VMware vSphere Cluster.

Or perhaps you are asking yourself "Who can host our VMWare Servers for us in a secure environment?"

What is VMware.

VMware is the leading infrastructure virtualisation company founded in California in 1998, for more information click here: wikipedia and here VMware.

How does it work?

90% of physical servers are underutilised, this means that the CPU and/or RAM isn’t being used to their full capacity and spend most of their time doing very little, however your TCO is high and ROI low due to power usage, cooling and the initial investment.

So why not break that physical server into lots of virtual servers as this example illustrates:

Let’s assume you have 4 servers in your business:

A file server,
an email server,
a SharePoint web Server and,
a database server.

All of these servers are using power and generating heat, how good would it be if you could shutdown 3 of these 4 servers, your costs will be reduced by a massive 75%.

This is exactly what VMware is all about ‘reducing costs’.

By encapsulating physical servers into virtual servers you reduce your TCO by a huge amount, and your ROI leaps up.

But it doesn’t stop there, once you have virtualisation in place a whole new set of tools comes in very handy:

HA – High Availability

Minimize Downtime from Server and Operating System Failures.

Q: Can I reduce my Infrastructure TCO oven more?

A: Yes you can, by almost 90%, by moving your virtulisation into a remote Data Centre.

Mantis Computing has VMware clusters designed for just this purpose so we can host and look after your servers for you.

We have secure networks and provide secure VPN connections into your offices and homes (for home based workers) so your servers appear on your network as if they were in your location.
Dedicated private connections can be also used if required.

To ensure maximum uptime we have a cloud environment spanning numerous data centres in different cities for continuity, mirrored data stores to protect your data and information.

We can help you virtualise some or all of your environment and migrate it into our ‘cloud’, please contact us for more information.
