NetApp-Virtualization
Maximize the benefits of a virtualized server environment
Server consolidation and virtualization promise an enterprise infrastructure that is efficient, flexible, and scalable. To fully realize the benefits of server virtualization, you need to address the increased demands that virtualized servers pose for your storage infrastructure. Backups become more difficult, continuous availability is imperative, and storage becomes more complex to manage. To avoid shifting costs from one area to another, your virtualization strategy should include storage as well as servers.
NetApp desktop and server virtualization solutions using clustered Data ONTAP reduce disruptions, boost efficiency, and pave the way for cloud initiatives
Run mixed applications in a shared, virtual environment
Achieve increased demand and unlimited scalability for your virtual servers
Optimize storage resources for greater efficiency, performance, ROI, and agility
Leverage integrated solutions to optimize your VMware, Microsoft Hyper-V, RHEV, and Citrix environments and virtualize the business-critical applications that run on them, including Microsoft Exchange, Microsoft SQL Server, Microsoft SharePoint, Oracle, Sage and SAP software.
Does your storage have what it takes to meet the demands of virtual servers? From assessment to implementation to management, Malton’s experienced, certified professionals use proven methodologies and best practices to help you get where you want to be – with efficiency, and with no surprises.
