VIRTUALIZATION MANAGEMENT

Virtualization projects are trendy but they may also seem expensive and challenging. At the same time, they offer a vital strategic business advantage. Synergy Gates’s goal is to meet and resolve those challenges, as well as bring substantial cost savings, increased IT capacity and business continuity advantages with optimized IT investments.

OPTIMIZING THE VIRTUAL ENVIRONMENT

Synergy Gates consultants assist in all the aspects of virtualization from comprehensive IT infrastructure assessment and gap analysis, infrastructure planning and design, financial analysis (including licensing optimization), implementation and migration to ongoing management and maintenance using Microsoft, VMware, Parallels, and Sun virtualization solutions

VM storage optimization

The automated tracking process of over-allocated and possible outages VM storage enables clients to manage their existing storage more efficiently. After potential storage savings are estimated it’s time for rightsizing and fixing VMs which are running out of storage.

Optimizing VM performance

With the virtual machine performance going up, more virtual machines can be squeezed onto a host server, thereby achieving higher virtual machine density.

VM rightsizing automation

To reach better performance, the custom virtual appliance initiates a series of virtual machine re configurations (rightsizing) which continuously adjust to dynamic virtual infrastructure conditions.

Virtualization may answer the toughest problems of the enterprise IT infrastructure and bring tangible business benefits.

  • Underutilized hardware, data centers run out of space, increasing power costs
  • System administration brings increasing cost of operations and is usually co-located with servers
  • High-availability service level agreement (SLA) requirements
  • Reducing equipment, facilities, and operating costs, achieving storage and energy efficiency
  • Reduced system administration requirements, effective coordinating management and operations across virtualization environment
  • Enhancing business continuity metrics by improving system manageability and security

MIGRATING TO VIRTUAL ENVIRONMENT

The decision to move to virtual environments is based on a thorough investigation of the current infrastructure. At this stage, we assist you with evaluation of your existing system as a virtualization platform and find niches for operational costs optimization by means of virtualization.

Virtualization Planning
  • Requirements gathering
