IMC have been converting business applications running on dedicated server hardware, across to virtual server platforms since 2005.
IMC are specialists in designing, implementing and managing virtual server environments. We have performed these services for some of Australia’s largest and most recognised organisations.
IMC has developed extensive capability around virtualised solutions. IMC work with the most mature, reliable and cost-effective virtualisation solution on the market.
Why are we so focused on our Virtualisation strategy?
Because virtualisation actually works! It delivers on its promise! The benefits are real and can be achieved very quickly and in a tough economy, your resources are at a premium. Virtualisation saves you both time and money.
Think about the following statistics: on average, server consolidation can reduce your server hardware costs by 40%; reduce your provisioning time by 40% and increase your manageable IT Administrator workloads three-fold.
Can you afford not to virtualise?
In 2007, Gartner reported that over the next five years, most enterprise data centres will spend as much on energy (power and cooling) as they do on hardware infrastructure.
Virtualisation solutions can reduce your data centre energy costs by 80%; and, reduce your combined hardware and operating costs by 50%.
In conventional data centres, servers sit idle for 92% of the time. While they're idle, they continue to consume 50% of their total power needs.
Virtualisation can increase server utilisation by 50%; reduce the time it takes to provision a server by 70%; and, on average, save you more than $3,000 per year for every server workload virtualised.
Why Your Company Should Virtualise
Top 5 Reasons to Adopt Virtualisation Software
- Get more out of your existing resources: Pool common infrastructure resources and break the legacy “one application to one server” model with server consolidation.
- Reduce datacenter costs by reducing your physical infrastructure and improving your server to admin ratio: Fewer servers and related IT hardware means reduced real estate and reduced power and cooling requirements. Better management tools let you improve your server to admin ratio so personnel requirements are reduced as well.
- Increase availability of hardware and applications for improved business continuity: Securely backup and migrate entire virtual environments with no interruption in service. Eliminate planned downtime and recover immediately from unplanned issues.
- Gain operational flexibility: Respond to market changes with dynamic resource management, faster server provisioning and improved desktop and application deployment.
- Improve desktop manageability and security: Deploy, manage and monitor secure desktop environments that users can access locally or remotely, with or without a network connection, on almost any standard desktop, laptop or tablet PC.
