Virtualization Services

Your data center is overcrowded and every day you face new demands from various departments and agencies for more servers, more capacity, and more applications. How can you meet these demands while reducing your data center footprint, reducing cost and capitalizing on existing resources?…..Through Server Consolidation and Enterprise Virtualization delivered the CIBER way.

Server Consolidation and Enterprise Virtualization

Today’s servers use only about 10% of their existing capacity. Imagine if you could harness this capability. Server consolidation and virtualization offers the capability to run multiple independent virtual operating systems on a single physical computer. This means you can do more with what you already have. And, with server virtualization, you not only capitalize on your current investment, but you benefit in the following ways:

Server Consolidation – Use the capacity you already have and you won’t have to add servers to meet new requirements. In fact, you will be able to reduce the total number of servers you are supporting.
Business Continuity – Reduce the cost and complexity of business continuity by encapsulating entire systems files that can be replicated and restored onto any target server. Disaster recovery becomes not only affordable – but also achievable.
Test and Development – Rapidly establish test environments, store libraries of pre-configured machines, and test new applications without investing in redundant hardware.
Virtual Desktops Across the Enterprise – Secure unmanaged PCs or provide standardized enterprise desktop environments hosted on servers. Virtualization lets you extend disaster recovery down to the desktop level. You can reduce the cost to manage this environment and minimize expenditures for PC software.
Legacy Application Re-hosting – Preserve your investment in legacy applications by migrating legacy operating systems and software applications to virtual machines running on newer hardware. You will get better reliability and longevity from software that has outlived its hardware but not its usability.
Reduce Overall Complexity – Achieve a simplified, easier to maintain server environment and reduce the assets needed to manage it. Better yet, have CIBER provide the resources to manage it for you either remotely or on site.

For state and local government the data center is ground zero for most virtualization services. In fact, virtualization solutions most often focus on architectural consolidation – the migration from a physical to a virtual computing environment to solve the problem of overcrowded server farms while meeting growing demands for floor space, power, environmental controls, and the like. Think in terms of replacing ten physical servers with a single server and the money you will save in related costs.

CIBER’s range of virtualization solutions goes much further, offering solutions for disaster recovery, continuity of operations, data storage and retrieval, on-the-fly provisioning, and operational mobility. With CIBER’s integrated virtualization solutions, you can achieve open standards architecture with the flexibility and independence to move in any direction technology leads.

Getting To Consolidation through Virtualization

To experience these benefits, you need skilled resources. With CIBER you get support from pioneers in converting clients from physical to virtual environments. Our broad base of government and commercial clients are reaping the rewards of our approach – an approach that is tailored to each customer’s needs and is supported by the right tools to do the job. We bring to the table experience in leading solutions from top tier software, server, storage and supporting products.

We know that virtualization is a new concept and like all new concepts, CIOs and CTOs in government will want to understand the benefits their enterprise will gain. For that reason, we focus on providing the consulting services necessary to justify this decision, supporting you with the data you need to understand the business and technical Impacts of virtualization, the total cost of ownership and your return on investment.

And, most importantly, we provide you with a roadmap strategy to virtualization deployment, the technical resources to implement it, and the operations resources to sustain and maintain it.

The Benefits of Server Virtualization

Adoption of new technologies for the sake of new technology is no longer the norm. Benefits of technology must be clear and understandable, not just to IT professionals, but to the public CIO and your enterprise leaders. Clearly and simply put, CIBER delivers a server virtualization implementation that results in:

30 to 50% reductions in hardware costs
70 to 80% reductions in operations costs
An affordable and effective strategy for disaster recovery
A reduced carbon footprint as less energy is required to support the smaller footprint of your data center

CIBER Virtualization Services

As a system integrator, CIBER understands the complexities of today’s IT environments, and recognizes the value that server virtualization brings to our customers. With technological expertise in designing virtualization solutions and our ability to sustain and support them, our customers quickly realize the benefits of server virtualization.
