Server Virtualization and Consolidation

eGroup is consistently embracing leading-edge technology vendors and is proud to be the only VMware Enterprise Reseller and VMware Authorized Consulting partner (VAC) in the Carolinas.

For more than five years, progressive organizations have been virtualizing their computing environments using VMware ESX Server to drive utilization rates of individual servers from less than 5% to over 80%.

VMware Infrastructure 3 is the next generation of industry-leading infrastructure virtualization software that virtualizes servers, storage and networking, allowing multiple unmodified operating systems and their applications to run independently in virtual machines while sharing physical resources.

VMware Infrastructure 3 works by carving multi-processor servers into smaller servers or virtual machines, allowing multiple operating systems, including Microsoft Windows and Linux, to run simultaneously and independently on the same Intel-based server or blade. With VMware Virtual SMP, a single virtual machine can now span four processors and utilize up to 16GB of RAM, making it possible for enterprises to deploy all of their mission-critical applications in flexible, secure and portable virtual machines.

eGroup can design and deploy your initial infrastructure implementation and purchases through our unique and cost-effective "Jumpstart" offering. Through this offering, we can guide your initial implementation, including integration with your SAN, existing network infrastructure, and existing backup solution. We can also conduct a capacity planning analysis, virtualization assessment for existing physical servers, and tie it all together by working with your staff to conduct Physical-To-Virtual (P2V) migrations to rapidly migrate to immediate business savings.
