Virtualization

“The hidden benefit of virtualization can in fact be in the energy savings, which can be dramatic.”

-Gartner

At EcomNets, we understand that the top business challenges confronting CIOs and IT managers today are: cost-effective utilization of IT infrastructure; responsiveness in supporting new business initiatives; and flexibility in adapting to organizational changes.  Other factors affecting CIOs and IT managers in the current economy are budget constraints and more stringent regulatory requirements.  Virtualization is fundamental to the success of IT departments on a global scale.  This technological innovation, when harnessed, can provide a robust solution for IT challenges from an environmental and cost prospective.
Virtualization of servers allows users to increase server utilization rates from 5-15% to 60-80%.  The average server before virtualization has a server utilization rate of 5-15%. 

Imagine reducing your server usage by 80-85%.  Would your electrical costs go down  Would your IT department be more productive  Would you reduce the amount of servers purchased on a monthly basis  Let EcomNets provide a TCO Analysis for your IT infrastructure. 

We can show you how to virtualize within your existing server budget, without an additional capital expenditure.
Tangible benefits for Virtualization is a 74% TCO reduction on average and a realized ROI of over 300% within the first six months of deploying our solution. 


Here are some of the intangible benefits of TCO Analysis:

  • Reducing costs by consolidating idle resources and redeploying those resources on new projects.
  • Increasing efficiencies in IT operations.
  • Improving time to implementation of new services.
  • Increasing disaster recovery capabilities, including decreasing recovery time on existing non-high availability services.
  • Building cost-effective and consistent development and test environments.
  • Reducing costs in technical support, training and maintenance.

EcomNets TCO Analysis is a great tool in understanding costs and optimizing IT investments.  Although the purchase price of a server is a quantifiable cost, industry research indicates that the purchase price of a typical server is less than 15% of the TCO.  EcomNets helps you find accurate costs associated with installation, configuration, management, power consumption, and cooling.
