MANAGED SERVICES

Virtual Infrastructures

On average, servers are only 20-25% utilised, which means many companies have more physical servers than actually required. This situation takes up valuable management time, presents more risk, takes up more data centre space and incurs unnecessary capital cost. Virtualisation can offer many businesses the opportunity to improve IT systems efficiency and availability.

Anite’s expertise in virtualisation platforms gives organisations the ability to respond to market dynamics faster and more efficiently than ever before.

Our engineers assess your business needs and will provide most the appropriate virtualised platform, using VMware, Microsoft Hyper-V,HP VSE, Sun xVM, IBM PowerVM or Xen which are all capable of delivering resources, applications and servers when and where they are needed.

Virtualised Platforms

Your business is constantly changing, so your IT must be able to keep up in order to change and cope with these varying needs. At the same time, companies will continue to demand the highest quality of service with guaranteed availability, performance and capacity from their critical IT resources.

However, provisioning servers and reconfiguring resources to match these changing business demands can often take weeks, whilst predicting future IT demands is an imprecise art. Meanwhile, advances in technology march on relentlessly.

So, for many businesses, IT is inflexible, slower to adapt, more costly and carries a high level of risk that it will not meet the business demands made upon it. Therefore, a new type of IT infrastructure is required that can adapt immediately to the ever-changing needs of your business at the moment you need it.

The Anite Virtual platform is a scalable, demand-based IT infrastructure, delivering increased business agility through the deployment of on-demand  computing resource, with additional capacity when you need it most, allowing you to pay for capacity when you need it.

We allow you to adapt your existing IT resources to meet changing business requirements – enabling your business to be more agile and assure your continued service quality by providing a highly available and resilient platform that caters for future demand.

You can immediately scale your IT up to 150% of your processor, memory storage and bandwidth capacity to meet those peaks in your business demands and your company can take immediate advantage of new technology as it become available, providing the optimal computing platform, year after year.

Finally we can eliminate the need to build expensive over-capacity into your physical infrastructure by matching the capacity of your computing resource to current demand for your business critical applications.

By optimising hardware, organisations can reduce capital costs and lower operating costs whilst increasing server productivity. Critical business applications will perform at higher levels of availability and performance and business continuity planning is improved.

Migration & Transition Management

Every business has unique needs to remain competitive and successful, but the challenges can be huge. Service reliability may need to be improved, but budgets are tight and finding the time to effectively review current IT systems and applications is a task that is often pushed down the priority list.

Anite works with organisations to perform capacity planning, allowing companies to migrate critical applications to an Anite data centre. We provide a highly secure, reliable and cost-effective managed service and the business gets improved confidence in the ability to supply critical services.

In addition, Anite can potentially improve efficiency and cost by further migration of company  systems to a virtual infrastructure. Our Virtual Hosting Platform can offer unrivalled efficiency, flexibility and dynamic capacity so as the business needs change, the IT systems can respond immediately.
