The operational management of complex IT systems is the single largest element of ownership costs. And the historical policy of buying a server for each application has exacerbated this problem.

If this sounds familiar, you might want to consider consolidation or virtualisation. Consolidation can help your organisation make the most efficient use of its available space and increase utilisation and expensive processor power. Virtualisation enables multiple server instances to be hosted on one hardware platform. This is ideal for developing and staging applications and can be invaluable for recovery applications.

In assessing the effectiveness of consolidation and virtualisation, it is necessary to understand the foundation issues and drivers, such as operational, environmental or financial constraints. To do this, We use capacity modelling environments such as Capacity Planner, which enable us to determine the effectiveness of virtualised and/or consolidated environments quickly and cost effectively.

At e-mergency we work with key virtualisation and consolidation partners such as VMWare, Microsoft and HP. Unlike others, we will not simply direct you to point solution technologies, but will use all our skills and tools to optimise your operating environment.

We are abel to support VMWare ESX, Citrix XenAPP and Microsoft Hyper-V.
