Increase Your Overall ROI with Server Virtualization

TCS offers full server virtualization solutions to help your business leverage its hardware capital to the maximum extent.  Packages such as VMWare ESX Server, ESXi, and Xen Hypervisor have industry-proven reputations as rock-solid solutions for maximizing usability of deployed servers.

Advantages

• Consolidate several server functions on a single hardware platform
• As hardware features such as CPU, memory, hard disk, and network bandwidth become more economical, it makes sense to organize your server infrastructure into logical groups based on functions rather than hardware capacity
• Some hardware manufacturers now include integrated hypervisors and VM-friendly BIOS features
• Because virtual machines exist in isolated memory and physical disk spaces, individual VMs are shielded from crashes and other memory errors that occur within adjacent VMs
• Coexistence of multi-generational operating systems on a single hardware platform allow legacy software to coexist with the latest technology on a single server, providing you a more flexible upgrade path
• Physical considerations such as rack space and cooling are less of an issue with less physical hardware being deployed
• Virtualization products can be tuned to efficiently manage memory for specific instances to provide close to bare-metal performance.
• Standard server configurations can be more rapidly and easily deployed and managed due to modularized virtual disk structures

Desktop Virtualization - The Revolution

As computing technologies continue to progress and local area network speeds soar well beyond the gigabit per second limit, actualizing centralized administration, deployment, and troubleshooting of the end-user desktop environment is becoming much easier and more economical.  Not to be confused with old-fashioned mainframe environments, thin client technology makes it possible to deploy a centrally customizable and application-specific end-user environment, while maintaining the usability and ergonomic advantages of a modern desktop workstation.  The lack of physical hard disks in thin clients provides a much faster and fault-tolerant user environment, especially when coupled with accelerated servers and network infrastructures.  Virtual Desktop Infrastructure solutions include packages such as Microsoft Virtual Server, VMWare VDI, and Citrix XenDesktop.

Advantage Points

• Improve security by isolating operating system internals from client hardware
• Simplified licensing management for client operating systems
• VDs allow for streamlined maintenance and troubleshooting by IT support staff
• VDs allow you to define custom environments that are department-specific and allow or deny various settings and preferences from being modified by end-users
• VD images are quickly replicated and customized for deployment according to departmental specification
