SERVER CONSOLIDATION AND VIRTUALISATION SERVICES With increasing operational costs for floor space, energy consumption and hardware management, alongside expensive maintenance on ageing servers, it is easy to appreciate how server sprawl can have major consequences on the cost of infrastructure management and ownership. One of the biggest advances in computer technology in recent years is the arrival of Virtualisation technology. Virtualisation enables companies to reduce the number of physical servers required to support their organisation by creating and running multiple “virtual” machines on a single server. Business benefits: • Lower total cost of server and related IT support investments • M ore flexible, agile business infrastructure which can rapidly respond to business demands • Increased performance, reliability and ease of management leading to improved business efficiency Virtual machines can then be managed and accessed like any other computer, moved to other servers, backed up and much more. Is it not time for your organisation to benefit from cost savings associated with ‘Green’ technologies?“W e are delighted with the NIS professional approach and the speed with which they have come to understand our bespoke infrastructure” Dan Snik - IT Manager, Nvelope Rainscreen Systems Limited, (Hertfordshire) www.nis-it.co.uk 0800 999 2118

NIS understand the need for such options to co-exist as part of a wider IT strategy.

DATA STORAGE AND RETRIEVAL SOLUTIONS The volume of business data is continuously growing. Many companies have so much data that they are unaware of the implications and problems associated with managing it. They are apprehensive to delete any of it in case it is required for future analysis or legislative purposes. The increase in the size of data volumes means that businesses need to prepare differently for the impact on server performance, data backup, security and fast recovery. The audit trail of your data in all its forms also needs considering, including the storage and retrieval of emails and other business data. Today’s backup technologies such as Tivoli, Backup Exec, Veeam, StorageCraft and data storage to virtual devices can address many of the challenges associated with data security and management. Improving the way data is backed-up by utilising de-duplication and replication methods can help improve overall efficiency. Our storage and disaster recovery specialists can advise on the best solution to handle your current and future data management requirements.“A safe pair NETWORK INFRASTRUCTURE MONITORING of hands for AND BUSINESS CONTINUITY our IBM AIX, Windows Our NIM service gives total visibility of your network 24/7.
