North American Systems offers a wide range of services designed to help IT departments develop a server virtualization strategy to implement and expand server virtualization within their organization. Our services are cost-effective, and designed to help IT staffs struggling to “do more with less” with limited budget resources. Most importantly, we are an independent resource with a wide variety of partnerships throughout the IT industry, and can offer vendor-agnostic guidance for all of the major hypervisors, and server configurations from a number of leading manufacturers. We propose server virtualization solutions based on your unique needs, not on what is in our technology portfolio.
Server virtualization is an established technology that is continuing to gain adoption throughout IT departments. The benefits of server virtualization include:
Deciding which direction to go when piloting, implementing, or expanding can be complex, and requires a close look at the infrastructure and applications you wish to virtualize. North American Systems offers server virtualization assessments to help you determine what is the best strategy to adopt when virtualizing your servers, as well as some of the benefits you can achieve through virtualization.
As partners of Citrix, VMware, and IBM, we can help you decide what is best for your organization, whether you decide to utilize XenServer, ESX/vSphere, or PowerVM. We also have experience integrating Hyper-V as well, and can even help develop a hybrid virtualization strategy that involves different products and hypervisors for different workloads and chipsets.
Choosing the right hardware platform for deployment of your virtualized server infrastructure is important to a successful rollout or expansion of virtualization as well. As a Dell partner, we can implement server virtualization on the PowerEdge and Blade platforms. North American Systems can offer server virtualization project planning services, to address the findings discovering during the assessment process.
In addition, North American Systems has an extensive amount of experience implementing virtualization on IBM POWER, Blade Center, and System x servers, we have also deployed virtualization on HP platforms, including ProLiant and their Blade architecture.
North American Systems also offers server virtualization implementation and installation services. Leveraging our partnerships with best-of-breed vendors, and a proven methodology based on established best practices developed from our extensive experience rolling out server virtualization solutions for a variety of customers, we take the guesswork and speculation out of the successful implementation and expansion of server virtualization for IT departments. We can pre-install the hypervisor and operating systems, and allocate computing resources based on the project plan, and ship it ready-to-install.
Our certified engineers can also come to your location for onsite installations, and perform P2V (physical to virtual) migrations of applications and data with minimal disruption to production environments. In addition, they can show IT staffs how to manage their new virtualized server environment, and offer post-implementation technical support.
Many IT professionals make the mistake of only considering the advantages of consolidation when thinking about server virtualization. In fact, there are many advantages IT departments can experience as a result of virtualization.
