Data Centre Virtualisation

Underutilisation of resources is often a major factor impacting the operational costs of any organisation and especially in the provision of ICT services. Traditional “one server, one application” models have led to server sprawl and creeping inefficiencies in ICT infrastructures, often resulting in server utilisation levels of less than 20%. The impact on IT teams can also be significant as too much time is spent managing multiple, underutilised servers.

Using virtualisation technologies as part of your Data Centre strategy can dramatically increase the effectiveness of your investment in servers and help you react more quickly to the demands of your organisation, allowing you to deploy new solutions more quickly.

NextiraOne has implemented many virtualised Data Centre projects across Europe, delivering tangible benefits to our customers. Our service-led approach to deploying end-to-end Data Centres encompasses network, server and storage virtualisation solutions, dramatically reducing the number of devices needed to support the same applications and the space required to house the equipment. The introduction of new technologies such as blade servers, new switches and high speed interconnects can further substantially reduce the space and power requirements of the Data Centre.

NextiraOne experts can help you to design and implement a virtualised solution for your Data Centre, allowing you to make the most of your existing assets and introducing best-in-class technologies to improve efficiency and productivity. In many cases virtualising your Data Centre can reduce your server requirement by up to 85% and save more than 50% on your power and cooling requirements.
