Enterprise Virtualization

Enterprise Virtualization allows companies to address agility, economics, and quality of service requirements by eliminating the boundaries between IT assets and pooling resources for sharing and dynamic allocation. In this way, Enterprise Virtualization enables business requirements to drive the dynamic allocation of IT resources. And, doing so provides:

• The agility to respond to business demands in minutes – instead of weeks or months
• Greatly improved economics through flexible usage costing
• New found flexibility in setting and meeting service levels, thereby improving overall quality of service
• Decreased costs by increasing server utilization and thereby:
  • Reducing capital expenditures
  • Achieving savings in power, cooling, and real estate consumption; in software licensing; by faster provisioning of additional processing power; through improved productivity; from faster disaster recovery and higher availability; and via easier systems management
• Improved accuracy of consolidation plans and minimized costs by eliminating “just in case” servers
• Maximized server utilization with a more intelligent distribution of workloads
• Improved cost visibility by measuring (and billing, if you so choose) the amount of service consumed by a line of business based on true costs.

The Enterprise Virtualization solution includes

VMware® Infrastructure 3 (ESX Server™ 3.0) 

Virtualization technology that abstracts processor, memory, storage, and networking resources into multiple virtual machines – enabling greater hardware utilization and flexibility. Moreover, VMware is production-proven at thousands of data centers and delivers the highest levels of performance, scalability, and flexibility.

Unisys Real-Time Consolidation Accelerator Solutions

Software that enables anywhere-to-anywhere automated conversions between physical servers, virtual machines, and image archives. It decouples data, applications, and operating systems from servers, re-configures and optimizes resources, and automatically streams them to any physical or virtual platform.

Unisys uChargeback^TM

Software that creates visibility and insight into the IT costs associated with business processes – across virtualized, heterogeneous environments. It unifies and simplifies data collection and analysis – and does so seamlessly – minimizing the workload on operations personnel.

And, all of this technology is underscored by Unisys unparalleled services offerings. We offer services to help you discover the areas where virtualization technology can provide the fastest result while minimizing risk.
