Virtualisation

As a VMware Professional Support and Professional Solutions provider, OGL can deliver cutting-edge virtualisation technology to customers up and down the UK.Virtualisation is the pooling and sharing of IT resources, including servers, storage and networking, and was hailed by analysts Gartner as the top strategic technology for 2009.

Through virtualisation with OGL, resources can be allocated dynamically across your organisation's applications and processes. In a virtualised environment, the logical functions of computing, storage and network elements are separated from their physical functions. Elements from these pools can then be manually or automatically allocated to meet the changing needs and priorities of a business. These concepts can be applied broadly across the enterprise, from datacenter resources to PCs and printers.

The key benefits of virtualisation with OGL:

• Server Consolidation
• High Availability
• Better use of server hardware
• Stream-line updates and testing
• Secure and manage virtual desktops
• Re-host Legacy applications.

Through virtualisation, people, processes and technology work together more efficiently to meet increased service levels. Since capacity can be allocated dynamically, chronic over-provisioning is eliminated and your entire IT infrastructure is simplified. Virtualisation helps your organisation transform its IT environment to an adaptive infrastructure that enables automated 24 X 7 lights-out computing.

Creating a unified IT environment through virtualisation is a vital step toward enabling an adaptive infrastructure. Your IT organisation can gain the flexibility to quickly adapt to the changing demands of your business via virtualisation.

Reducing costs - Since servers, storage, networking and other resources are pooled, resources can be allocated as required. This helps your IT organisation achieve greater asset utilisation, improve IT staff productivity and reduce operational costs.

Increasing business agility - By making your infrastructure more flexible, your IT organisation can more easily allocate IT resources to meet new service demands. Adding capacity to meet new or expanding computing requirements can be completed in a matter of minutes or hours.

Improving the quality of IT delivery - The ability to quickly analyse your resource needs and dynamically allocate resources helps your IT organisation meet or exceed service level agreements.
