Services around Planning and Implementing your Virtual Environment

Capacity Planning

Virtualisation has consistently been shown to produce cost savings within an IT infrastructure. Routinely the number of servers within an environment can be reduced at a ratio of 10:1.  However, certain applications use more resources than others so it is important to understand which applications and have an idea of the hardware resources you need to keep all applications running efficiently within a virtual environment.

Abtech UK's capacity planning service uses a combination of industry tools and skilled consultants to produce a report on the levels of utilisation of your existing physical servers. This information allows us to size the virtual infrastructure and provide return on investment values for implementing virtualisation.

Designing Virtual Environments

Virtualisation can be a major project.   However, if it is well designed and documented, the process can be very smooth and the resulting environment easy to manage.  Abtech can design your virtual environment and plan your migration strategy, whether you are using VMware or Red Hat Virtualisation.  Our skilled consultants have worked on many virtualisation projects and are fully versed in best practice. 

Business Case Preparation

The business case for virtualisation is extremely compelling for most organisations.   Savings can be made in terms of space, power usage and management costs with the additional benefits of less downtime and a platform for a disaster recovery.  Even so, senior management still need to see a formal business case demonstrating a return on any investment.   This is where Abtech can assist.  We offer a range of services ranging from providing the necessary facts and figures, to producing a full business justification document.

Virtualisation Implementation Services

For a virtual server environment to be effective and easy to manage, it needs to be professionally implemented.    We are regularly approached by customers who have tried to implement virtualisation themselves only to find that they are experiencing problems.  Our consultants have between them, configured hundreds of virtual server solutions and are fully trained in best industry practice.   If you are looking for a virtual environment that is resilient, easy to manage and will meet your business needs, you need to be talking to Abtech. 

All our consultants hold current VMware or Red Hat certifications for virtualisation.
