Traditionally, organisations have provisioned physical IT resources to support applications on an individual basis to avoid conflict and reduce the risk of unplanned downtime. Assessment of such environments typically reveal server utilisation rates as low as 10%.

Virtualisation separates an operating system from the underlying hardware platform, creating a pool of available resources across multiple environments. In addition to energy savings and lower capital expenses organisations can derive benefits from; high availability, better management, increased security and improved disaster recovery processes. In advanced virtual environments, workload requirements can be self-provisioning, resulting in dynamic resource allocation.

Prolinx works with customers to explore the benefits of virtualisation. Our Virtual Impact service takes an in-depth assessment of your infrastructure, people and processes, identifying the strongest route forward and calculates the savings your organisation can achieve by moving to a virtual environment.
