Virtualisation

The operational management of complex IT systems is the single largest element of ownership costs.

Whilst the historical policy of buying a server for each application has given way to virtualisation, anticipated savings are not always delivered.

In assessing the effectiveness of consolidation and virtualisation, it is necessary to understand the foundation issues and drivers, such as operational, environmental or financial constraints. To do this, Itex uses a variety of capacity modelling environments which enable us to determine the effectiveness of virtualised and/or consolidated environments quickly and cost effectively.

At Itex we work with key virtualisation and consolidation partners such as VMWare, Microsoft and HP.
