Maximize Server Utilization and Reduce Costs with Akibia's Virtualization Services
Enables Fortune 500 Data Centers to Lower Hardware, Software and Support Costs and Increase Server Utilization, Operational Efficiencies, Flexibility and Security

As businesses face more complexity and heterogeneity in the data center, they are looking for ways to simplify, manage, optimize and obtain the most value from their infrastructure. Companies are leveraging virtualization technology to consolidate servers, thereby maximizing utilization and operational efficiencies as well as reducing costs and overall vulnerability. With virtualization, hardware and licensing costs decrease and ongoing support costs are lowered as fewer servers need to be maintained. Reduced power, cooling and physical space requirements also contribute to cost savings.

With 20 years of experience supporting mission-critical data centers and in-depth knowledge of both proprietary and open source virtualization technologies, including VMware, Virtual Iron, Xen, and Microsoft Virtual Server, Akibia will objectively analyze and assess the current IT environment and then deploy the optimal virtualization solution to meet the customer's strategic goals. Taking a holistic view of the data center, Akibia's experienced team supports the entire virtualization technology life cycle - from planning and assessments to design and implementation, as well as ongoing management, training and support. Akibia's Virtualization Services include:

• Analyze & Assess - Akibia assesses the current environment to determine where it may make sense to leverage virtualization, and after analyzing critical performance data such as utilization rates and workloads, provides a migration plan and ROI analysis.
• Architect & Design - Utilizing proven best practices, Akibia custom-designs a total virtualization solution that meets the unique requirements of the customer's data center.
• Implement - Working closely with the customer, Akibia efficiently tests, configures, implements and integrates the new virtualized infrastructure as well as validates the design against performance requirements.
• Support - Akibia provides customized education and training as well as 24x7 hardware and software support on the new virtualized environment.
