VMWare and Virtualisation allows customers to improve their efficiency by introducing dynamic virtual servers and software solutions into their infrastructure. Many companies are still using one server to run one application when they could be running multiple virtual servers on each physical server. Virtualisation frees up IT administrators from the shackles of constant maintenance and introduces them to the innovative architecture of virtual machines. In a non-virtualised infrastructure approximately 70% of a typical IT budget can go towards the maintenance of servers and applications.

If customers are not yet using virtualisation they may be struggling with budgeting for additional hardware when virtualisation can save them money and help them to get a higher return on investment and reduce total cost of ownership across their server infrastructure. Secure Advice can help to implement and configure production-proven VMWare solutions that will give your customers access to faster applications and highly available machines.

The Secure Advice Virtualisation Solution provides the following benefits:
