Utilisation
It is hardly a secret any longer that utilisation rates of IT assets are historically less that that of other non-IT assets on the balance sheet of a business.
Rates for utilisation of under 10% are common for physical Windows Servers. However these low utilisation rates would not be uniform across the environment. Some assets would dangerously be running at 100% while others sit idle. In the past, IT decision making was based on a perception of future required scalability and application isolation for availability and risk aversion. In the current business climate a static, linear IT strategy such as that can reduce the competitiveness of a business.
Today RichardsoNEyres delivers much higher utilisation of IT assets using proven technologies such as VMware and Storage Virtualisation. We combine these technologies with industry best practice and engineering talent. RichardsoNEyres helps clients design, deploy and view their IT infrastructure as a Unified Resource Pool through virtualisation. Multiple virtual machines or virtual storage pools enable us to get much closer to the rated maximums of the host physical devices. We combine the required scalability and resilience with virtualisation to achieve industry leading rates of utilisation at required service levels. Furthermore, we can add value at every phase of the project: from assessment through to optimisation.
RichardsoNEyres can measure real rates of current utilisation with a comprehensive assessment service, design a solution with attainable projected utilisation rates and measure against those projected rates after deployment. This gives your business;
- Better utilisation rates equal more efficient energy consumption
- Better utilisation rates equal reduce system management effort
- Better utilisation rates equal reduced cost for support and maintenance
- Better utilisation simply saves money and increases the agility of an organisation
