Is the glass half full or functioning below its operational capacity?
Time to virtualise your environment?
Computacenter is ideally placed to help you make UNIX server virtualisation a reality using Sun Microsystems’ new Solaris 10 Operating System. Leveraging our specialist enterprise skills and expertise, we can help you take full advantage of innovative Solaris Containers, an integral part of this latest operating system.
Importantly, Solaris Containers enable applications and services to be isolated from the underlying hardware using flexible, software-defined boundaries. Each application
environment has its own identity, separate from the underlying hardware – yet
behaves as if it is running on its own system. As a result, it makes consolidation simple,
safe and secure. One server can deliver the security and reliability of a fleet of systems –offering real cost saving opportunities.
Attend our free Unix Virtualisation workshop
Computacenter has used its virtualisation expertise to develop a unique workshop showing Sun Solaris Containers in action. These one-on-one sessions, hosted in Computacenter’s
Business Technology Suite in Hatfield, can be tailored to the specific needs of your organisation. Our aim is to help you understand how Solaris Containers can be used
to virtualise your UNIX environment – lowering costs, reducing downtime and improving the return on your server investment.

BENEFITS
Increased utilisation
Virtualisation technology from Sun works by pooling all the system’s server resources together and dynamically allocating them where they are needed. In simple terms, this means the combined server workload is spread more evenly amongst all the servers
in an estate: servers with a low workload are utilised more efficiently, and servers with a high workload receive some assistance.
Improved Management
Server virtualisation products and software from Sun can play a significant
role in making systems operate smoothly and efficiently. Spreading the
workload amongst multiple devices means that administrators can react to
system and component malfunctions in isolation while crucial operations
are still occurring. The real gain is enabling complex systems to operate reliably and continuously, masking complexities from end-users.
Reduce cost
Utilising existing resources fully has obvious capital savings because
organisations will not need to purchase new servers. Equally if not more important, removing the need for new servers avoids the costs associated with maintaining devices and providing floor space for them. |
