Virtualisation

Virtualisation technologies have now firmly moved into the mainstream.  While more and more companies virtualise their server infrastructure and benefit from reduced cost and administration, desktop virtualisation is now being increasingly considered as the next phase in the move towards the private cloud.

At MJ Flood Technology we work with all leading virtualisation specialists including VMware, Microsoft and Citrix.  In each case, we take a vendor-agnostic approach and will only recommend a solution which most closely matches the requirements and budget at hand.

• Server virtualisation

  We help customers to eliminate the old “one server – one application” delivery model and move to a model of running virtual machines on each physical server or blade server.

• Desktop virtualisation

  In practical terms, desktop virtualisation allows end users to access all of their data and applications without being tied down to a specific hardware device.  This delivers unprecedented control to the IT department and allows it to slash the costs associated with refreshing and managing a desktop infrastructure.

• Storage

  In our experience, many companies neglect to address the issue of data storage when virtualising their infrastructure yet the success of any virtualisation project depends on shared storage to better meet application requirements.  We work with best in class storage specialists such as HP to support virtual environments and provide the high levels of data availability and storage utilisation as your business scales.
