Varrow

Virtualization allows companies to remove the physical constraints from their technology infrastructure.

It's time to move those business critical applications in to the virtual world. Virtualization provides many benefits beyond just consolidation and organizations are starting to see the benefit of those with their business critical applications. Some of the benefits gained by virtualizing Tier 1 applications include:

• Performance - vSphere provides exceptional scalability and examples have shown cases where application performance under virtualization is actually higher than that when run as a physical workload.
• Cost Reduction - Licensing is a constant challenge for many and can be a barrier to adoption or expansion. Virtualization often allows for reduced license costs due to consolidation.
• Availability & Recovery - By leveraging the high availability features in vSphere applications can be resilient without the overhead of clustering and by using automation tools such as Site Recovery Manager disaster recovery can be greatly simplified.
• Application Life Cycle - Streamline development by using virtualized development environments that allow for easy deployment, testing, promotion, and sharing.
• Security - Virtualization allows for many technologies and products that can offer "better than physical" levels of security.

Using a well defined methodology Varrow can help you through the process of virtualizing many tier 1 applications including Exchange, SharePoint, SQL, and Oracle. Starting with a current state assessment Varrow engineers will go through several phases including design creation, interactive workshops, PoC/Pilot, production deployment, and re-assessment. This continual strategy will give you the confidence and feedback that assures your applications will perform as good or better in the virtual environment.
