By utilizing VMware virtualization technology, Structured IT consultants are able to optimize your current server infrastructure by consolidating servers, and maximizing availability.

This is made possible by the unique design of VMware server products, enabling one server to host multiple operating systems. On average 8 physical servers can be consolidated into 8 virtual servers, all running on just one physical VMware ServerVMware Server

Utilizing VMware ESX Server 3.0, or ESX 3.0i. . Higher end servers able to host 20 or more virtual servers!

What this means to you is that the administrative effort once required to maintain those 8 physical servers has now been reduced to that required to maintain just 1 server. This also means that the physical requirmentsPhysical Requirements

Including the costs associated with power, cooling, physical server hardware, and networking hardware. required to maintain those multiple servers has now also been reduced.

On top of all of the savings on maintenance and hardware costs, virtualization can also increase server availability, uptime, and most importantly, reliability. With products such as VMware VMotionVMware VMotion

VMotion enables an administrator to effortlessly move a running VMware virtual host server from one physical VMware ESX server to another, without any noticeable downtime! and VMware HAVMware HA

VMware HA, or High Availability, automatically moves a running virtual host from a VMware ESX server that has suffered a hardware failure to a currently operational VMware ESX server, all done without any administrator effort. downtime is virtually nonexistent, and SLA's of greater than 99% are easily attainable.
