Virtualisation

Reduce Cost. Simplify Complexity. Increase Utilisation. Gain control.

Keeping up with demand is a pre-requisite for business success. To do this, an enterprise must have the capacity to respond quickly to market changes. Such dynamic change is impossible without a flexible IT infrastructure.

Virtualisation is key to achieving IT infrastructure flexibility and efficiency. Moving from a ‘one server, one application’ model to running multiple virtual appliances delivers resources, applications and servers where and when they are needed. Certus and IBM offer a variety of virtualisation solutions including server, storage, network, application and workstation virtualisation.

Certus’ virtualisation and consolidation infrastructure services are aimed at delivering the capacity and agility required for cost-effective change. We are experts in IBM Power and x86 virtualisation technology.  Our solution offering can include a complete range of services from business value assessments and infrastructure design, through implementation to application and database migration services.

Proven benefits

Our virtualisation and consolidation services lower IT costs by reducing an organisation’s physical computing footprint. By making our customers less reliant on hardware, we drive down their software maintenance costs.

Virtualisation and consolidation benefits include:

• Lower IT costs and less risk exposure
• Improved operational efficiency and flexibility through simplified scoping, procurement, deployment and management activities
• Improved ‘green’ footprint and business sustainability outcomes

Less risk, more savings

Within a virtualisation and consolidation solution, Certus offers customers an infrastructure health check. This audit seeks to identify operational costs savings that can be made through improving the use of IT infrastructure.

Certus understands that customers must carefully weigh the risk of infrastructure change – computing downtime, data loss – against cost savings and gains in operational flexibility. We are expert at helping customers analyse this cost benefit equation. Our experience in virtualisation needs assessment enables us to deliver significant cost reductions while maintaining availability, continuity and performance of our customers’ enterprise applications.
