Virtualisation

As a Gold VMware Accredited Consulting Partner, VMware Enterprise Partner and VMware Hosting Partner and with experience of dozens of major virtualisation projects, ICM is well placed to deliver you a successful virtualisation solution. Our professional services team can assist in the design, implementation and support of your virtual infrastructure, ensuring that the solution reflects the requirements of your organisation. In addition, ICM will help to ensure that return on investment targets are met and that the total cost of ownership is lowered.

In a virtual environment, each virtual machine exists as a small set of files which simulate an entire hardware platform, including the CPU, RAM and network ports. This powerful technique breaks the 'one server, one application' regime, enabling you to:

Consolidate Servers and Increase Operational Efficiency

Consolidate servers by running multiple applications on a single server. Reduce hardware, power, cooling and floor space requirements by up to 70%, while increasing service levels to the business.

Minimise Downtime and Ensure Business Continuity

Reduce planned and unplanned downtime by making high availability and disaster recovery solutions more cost-effective, simple, and reliable.

Streamline Software Development and Testing

Create, link and clone virtual machines to simplify the development and testing of multi-tiered applications. You can also use virtualisation as a 'lab manager' to set up shared resource libraries and accelerate time to market.

Manage and Protect Enterprise Desktop Computers

Implement virtualisation as a desktop management solution and provide a solid foundation to deploy trusted and secure desktop environments to any PC. You can also enable thin-client access to server-based desktop environments.

A virtual infrastructure can be your key to delivering more for less and, with a virtualisation solution from ICM, you can respond to business requests in a fraction of the time it used to take. In addition, ICM can help you integrate your virtual infrastructure with your storage requirements and devise a business continuity plan that will improve your recovery times in the event of an incident that impacts your IT.
