Virtualisation
Aligning IT supply with business demand
IT operations have traditionally organised their technology in silo-type structures that dedicate resources to particular applications or business functions such as ERP, CRM, or web-based services.
Within this model, each silo's capacity is fixed and its resources generally over-provisioned to cope with peak demand, resulting in inflexible systems that are constantly under-utilised. Indeed a recent study claimed many corporate Data Centres use only 10 - 35% of their available processing power.
At Kavanagh we believe, wherever appropriate, enterprises finally need to break down these silos and create IT infrastructure pools that can be shared by multiple systems and applications. Virtualisation makes this kind of approach possible by allowing you to pool and share IT resources to improve utilisation and enable supply to automatically match demand. Virtualisation not only makes good business sense, it also helps reduce costs and increase agility.
The key to tomorrow's Data Centre
We believe virtualisation holds one of the keys to tomorrow's Data Centre environment by allowing you to dynamically allocate and manage resources on demand in the same way that you would use a utility. By breaking down rigid IT structures that inhibit business agility, it helps improve the utilisation of your valuable computing resources.
Virtualisation optimises individual servers, storage, networking, and other resources, such as software, printers and even clients and printers - to meet demand within a single application environment or business process and better organise your IT processes. A modular approach to virtualisation also makes it easier for your enterprise to acquire and integrate these capabilities and to deliver IT as a service.
Kavanagh's specialists can help you plan, design and implement virtualisation solutions tailored to your specific needs. We have the expertise you need to deliver IT as a service based on a virtualised, shared infrastructure that is more responsive to change.
