No institution starts out with hundreds of servers and a centralised storage network, these are grown over time as new applications are brought on line to help streamline operations.

IT systems are now integral to every aspect of the working day with users demanding ever increasing levels of performance in order to achieve more in less time. Key to this has been an increasing demand for readily available data. This information is the life blood of every organisation, ensuring suppliers are paid on time, customers receive their goods and the next Mars space probe lands on target!

In order to achieve this, each application relies on stored information being delivered correctly and in a timely fashion. Over time, applications grow and mature using more resources in varying degrees. This growth costs, in terms of resources and management time. Yet tightening budgets require costs to be driven down so the need to make better use of existing infrastructure has never been more prevalent.

As technology develops to keep up with this demand and the ever increasing cost of delivery, colossal progress is made in the way we manage, store and deliver this data.

Consolidation brings together existing resources making better use of them, helping deliver a better service to users at a lower cost of ownership.

Consolidate Networks – With the latest 10Gig Ethernet devices you are able to deliver information quicker and significantly reduce traditional hardware, helping to reduce floor space, power and cooling.

Consolidate Sites – Delivering IT across a wide area network is complicated resulting in unhappy users and errant applications. Clunk Click can show you how to deliver those applications faster and more efficiently, reducing complexity, management time and the need for hardware and protection on remote sites.

Consolidate Servers – The average modern server runs at less than 10% of its capability. The days of one server, one application are no longer required, virtualising a server estate makes better use of valuable resources, whilst reducing hardware, power, cooling and management resources.

Consolidate Storage – Delivery of an application to a user is paramount to IT professionals with each application in its own server environment sized appropriately to cope with its expected load. Raid technologies are deployed to ensure maximum availability and performance.

Consolidating server disk groups into a larger pool of disks, allows for a reduction of overall capacity and wastage by allocating volumes from larger arrays of disk pools, increasing performance,  reducing wastage from empty/parity disks whilst allowing you to leverage enterprise features such as replication, cloning and snapshot technologies.
