You are here: Virtualisation Welcome Guest

Consolidation and Virtualisation

100MB was once considered more storage than any we'd ever require. Then it was a gigabyte, then a terabyte. The data centres in our businesses now contain thousands of terabytes and are measured in square feet of infrastructure.

Our insatiable desire to store, integrate and retrieve data has lead to new challenges for IT professionals.

Your data centre storage requirements continue to outgrow your storage capacity. Simply increasing your infrastructure lends itself to additional accommodation, hardware and cooling expenses as well as increased power demand.

Utilising virtualisation technologies, Corpnet will start running your IT infrastructure as a giant pool of resources (rather than the hugely inefficient model of one application to one server.) We can assist you to achieve true virtualisation, where all resources are pooled – servers, network and storage. Under this model your applications take what resources they need and give back what they don't (a true virtual infrastructure or cloud).

Our virtualisation professionals are specialists in delivering holistic virtualisation solutions from the desktop and data centre to the application layer.



Virtualisation Benefits:

  • Improve the efficiency of your existing platforms and storage solutions
  • Pool your IT resources to reduce capital expenditure
  • Aid and assist your compliance and risk management strategies
  • Maximise your service delivery outcomes.


Solution Orientation:

The virtualisation of your infrastructure is an important first step. But it's our solution driven focus enables us to manage the new challenges for backup, continuity and archiving within a virtual infrastructure environment.
  • We'll develop organisational policy for managing virtual server oversight and responsibility. Often organisations don't appreciate that when you add virtual servers there's another layer of technology in addition to the application, server and hardware - and you should be securing it.
The labour intensive process of patching, maintaining and securing virtual infrastructure is a critical management consideration.
  • Corpnet will provide a strategic roadmap for patch management and anti-virus signatures.
In some organisations virtual servers often become an invisible network for which there are few or no controls.
  • Corpnet will aid your organisations to apply the necessary ancillary software to ensure compliance, security and visibility.
A consequence of unstructured virtual infastructure management isthe challenge of 'virtual sprawl' - the uncontrolled proliferation of virtual machines launched, and often forgotten, by IT managers, developers or business-unit managers.

Virtual sprawl wastes resources, creates performance constraints on servers and can impact the ability to proactively manage the virtual environment.
  • Corpnet will provide the tools expertise and resources to implement best practise protocols to prevent business unit managers from spawning off new servers at will, and ensuring they get the same security considerations as physical servers (system scans, anti virus etc).
