Consolidation & Virtualisation

Server and Application Consolidation and virtualisation

As enterprises grow, IT organizations must rapidly add computing capacity - often in the form of new servers with disparate operating environments. The resulting server sprawl is costly in terms of capital and people needed to operate, manage, and upgrade new servers.
Server consolidation with virtualisation technology provides a solution for these challenges. Virtualisation enables unprecedented levels of workload isolation, granular resource control for all of the system's computing and I/O resources. Integration with existing system management software improves return on investment in shared storage (SAN). By consolidating physical systems in the data center enterprises experience:

• Lower hardware acquisition and maintenance costs
  
• Consolidation of idle system resources
  
• Increased operational efficiency
  
• Cost-effective and consistent production environments

DSI have relationships with a number of leading players in the virtualisation market, Sun Microsystems with Solaris Containers, VMware with ESX Server and other products, then complementary to both companies is Trigence the leading Application virtualisation company.

Trigence application virtualization software has been developed to help IT departments liberate applications from the underlying OS and manage them as independent, moveable objects. Trigence AE delivers on the promise of virtual computing at the application level.
