Server Virtualization & Consolidation

Businesses of all sizes can gain significant improvements in efficiency, management, and agility with advanced IT infrastructure solutions such as VMware virtualization software and storage area networks. With locations in Augusta, GA and Columbia and Greenville, SC, EDTS helps organizations throughout the Southeast leverage the power of these technologies to overcome business challenges and enhance day-to-day operations.

VMware allows allows organizations to develop a flexible, scalable, and cost-effective IT infrastructure. Whether inside global enterprises or smaller IT groups, virtualization and consolidation of servers, desktops, applications, and storage makes good business sense.

With Windows-based servers only utilizing 5-10% of their underlying hardware capacity, VMware server consolidation saves money. You'll appreciate:

  • Reduced hardware costs
  • Less hardware and software to maintain
  • Less space needed
  • Reduced energy use
  • More flexibility

Consider Desktop Virtualization

Since 90-95% of PC resources sit idle at any given time, desktop virtualization separates the operating system and applications from your desktop computer -- reducing cost of ownership by up to 40%. Computing processes take place at the server level, are transparent to the user, and permit access to all files and applications — even from tablets and smart phones. You'll enjoy:

  • Reduced PC desktop costs
  • Reduced energy needed
  • Control of data and applications
  • Lower maintenance costs

Storage area networks, or SANs, can help to increase storage capacity utilization, since multiple servers consolidate their private storage space. By transactionally accessing hard drives such as email servers, databases, and high usage file servers, storage area networks add flexibility, improve speed and simplify storage administration. They also enable more effective disaster recovery.
