As enterprises grow, those responsible for IT must rapidly add computing capacity – often in the form of new servers with a variety of operating environments. The resulting server sprawl is costly in terms of capital and people needed to operate, manage and upgrade new servers.

Server consolidation and containment with virtualisation software provides a solution for these problems..
In order to create the best virtual environments we constantly monitor the ever developing world of virtualisation and hardware to ensure we are always using the best products/software available. Our current partners include:

VMWare – VI3.5 (ESX 3.5 and Virtual Center ), VMWare Platespin – PowerRecon and PowerConvert Vizioncore – ESXRanger Pro DoubleTake – Exchange, SQL and File Replication

Reasons for implementing virtual infrastructure solutions:

Looking to increase resource utilisation Shortage in data centre space High environmental footprint Out/end of warranty equipment Spiralling operational costs and de-centralised management Implementation or improvement of business continuity infrastructure Reduction in TCO and ROI

Techms strongly believes that planning is the key to an efficient virtual infrastructure solution no matter how big or small. We have developed a phased approach to our consolidation planning, using the very latest virtualisation planning tools. Techms have a holistic approach to our infrastructure designs and as an independent consultancy-led IT reseller we will always ensure the client gets best value for money and a solution that specifically meets their requirements.

Virtualisation has opened a great number of doors in the world of IT allowing organisations to implement solutions that simply wouldn’t have been possible within a purely physical environment. We have heavily embraced these technologies within own infrastructure, providing hosting services, through virtual machines, with flexible SLA’s due to the high availability features that a virtual environment can provide.

Techms consultants work in partnership with our clients to understand their physical environment and demonstrate the benefits server virtualisation can bring to their IT Infrastructure. Through experience and careful collaboration TechMS can design and implement virtual infrastructure solutions leading to improved resource utilisation and reduced operating costs.
