Step by Step: Migrating your Data Center to Virtualized Environment with Project Gatsby
Components of the optimization solution:
- Evaluation of Current System
A polite and professional Project Gatsby employee will take a high-level inventory of all systems within the target network and map them out.
- Data Storage Needs
A more in-depth assessment of the existing storage mediums will be performed. Given the current and upcoming needs of the data to be warehoused, reuse of current systems will be analyzed for viability and, if feasible, will be implemented to save capital costs.
- Server Consolidation
Server consolidation is an approach to the efficient usage of server hardware in order to reduce the total number of devices that an organization requires. The practice, historically, was developed in response to the problem of server sprawl - a situation in which multiple, under-utilized servers take up more space and consume more resources than can be justified by their workload.
- Server Virtualization
Server virtualization uses a suite of software to segment one physical server into multiple isolated virtual servers. These containers, known as virtual machines, behave and interact with your network exactly as though they were physical machines, but consume far less power without sacrificing any performance.
