IT Consolidation
As your organisation grows and changes,
so does your IT environment. Our consolidation solutions reduce the
complexity of your technology infrastructures and enable your organization
to migrate to and manage a flexible adaptive infrastructure. These solutions
help you better respond to changing conditions and new service demands.
They will help maintain the high service levels your organisation requires
and positively contribute to your organisation’s business goals.
Server Consolidation:
Physical server by physical server expansion can result in a distributed
IT environment that is costly to operate and difficult to manage. In
order to contain costs and achieve operational efficiencies, you need
a flexible, yet stable, IT infrastructure.
Waverley implements HP Server Consolidation solutions to help you reduce
redundant or under-utilised servers and standardise onto fewer, highly
available and better managed platforms.
With these solutions your organisation
can:
• Improve server resource utilisation
• Reduce management, power and cooling costs
• Create an environment in which supply meets demand
• Protect your IT environment from unplanned downtime
Storage Consolidation:
As data volumes continue to grow, increased resources are needed to
manage these expanding storage assets. At the same time, the traditional
method of housing storage within servers has its limitations. Over the
whole server infrastructure you may find that whilst some storage is
under utilised, others are reaching full capacity causing application
performance and user productivity to decrease.
Using network storage consolidation is a simpler and more effective
approach to increase storage utilization, break down islands of storage
and present a single pool of storage. You’ll further enhance application
availability, leveraging economies of scale to easily increase or decrease
storage capacity as demand dictates.
When your storage is decoupled from the server and data is housed in
a common pool of shared storage you can boost productivity and rapidly
adapt to changing business needs.
In this way, SAN consolidation can bring
multiple benefits to your business as you:
• Reduce complexity and cost
• Simplify storage management
• Deliver to service level agreements
• Increase your ability to react quickly to change
