 
Single Point of Contact Virtualization (VMware)
Single Point of Contact VMware consultants can help you design and implement
a virtualization solution that leverages technology to increase server utilization, improve performance, minimize system downtime, and reduce the cost and complexity of delivering enterprise services.
Do You Have These Challenges?
- Aggressive Project Timeline: You need to assess, plan, build and manage a virtual infrastructure in a short timeframe.
- Application Virtualization Identification: You are not sure what applications should be virtualized.
- Management Complexity: Virtualization is adding new layer of technology that needs to be managed and monitored and your staff does not have the bandwidth or the skills required to manage virtual infrastructure.
- Network Integration: Your virtualization infrastructure is causing addressing and/or bandwidth issues.
- Storage: You need to consolidate data onto a SAN and/or need to identify HA/DR requirements for your virtual infrastructure.
|
- Vendor Support: There is no clear understanding of vendor application licensing flexibility when it comes to virtualization.
- Security: You need virtual environment controls to mitigate risks that new threats pose.
- Monitoring: You need tools that work across both the physical and virtual landscapes to monitor traffic and capacity.
- Cost: There are problems with virtual machine sprawl and license compliance.
- Skills Shortage: Your staff lacks exposure to virtualization technologies and the skills required to manage a virtual server environment.
