INFRASTRUCTURE AND DESKTOP VIRTUALISATION

Virtual infrastructure is a collection of software-defined components that make up an enterprise IT environment. A virtual infrastructure provides the same IT capabilities as physical resources, but with software. These virtual resources can then be quickly allocatied across multiple systems, based on the varying needs of your organisation. 

​

Extranet Systems has helped many businesses make the transition from aged physical servers and applications to streamlined virtual environments, based on VMware vSphere and Microsoft Hyper-V. Our expert team take care of the entire process, from assessment to implementation and post deployment support.

​

Extranet Systems offers many services to help your business transition to a virtual infrastructure. Our offerings include: Desktop as a Service (DaaS), Infrastructure as a Service (Iaas), Backup as a Service, or DR as a Service. We can virtualise your current infrastructre in-house, or in our secure Data Centre colocation services.

 

If you have a requirement for application virtualisation where cloud computing is not an option, we can help you build your private cloud on-premises, or in our secure Data Centre. By decoupling physical hardware from the operating system, Extranet Systems can help your organisation achieve greater IT resource utilisation, flexibility, scalability and cost savings.

​

From design to disaster recovery, Extranet Systems can help your organisation with:

 

  • Planing ahead: by understanding your business, and considering how business growth, market fluctuations and advancements in technology might impact your hardware requirements and reliance on compute, networking, and storage resources.  
     

  • Looking for ways to save you money: We can help in many ways; from replacing old servers and renegotiating vendor agreements, to automating time-consuming server management tasks.  
     

  • Preparing for failure: Despite its failover hardware and high availability, even the most resilient virtual infrastructure can experience downtime. Extranet Systems can help you prepare for worst-case scenarios by taking advantage of monitoring tools, providing additional hardware redundancy, and relying on clusters to better manage host resources.

Benefits of virtual infrastructure

 

The benefits of virtualisation touch every aspect of an IT infrastructure, from storage and server systems to networking tools. Here are some key benefits of a virtual infrastructure: 

 

  • Cost savings: By consolidating servers, virtualisation reduces capital and operating costs associated with variables such as electrical power, physical security, hosting, and server development.  
     

  • Scalability: A virtual infrastructure allows organisations to react quickly to changing customer demands and market trends by ramping up on CPU utilisation or scaling back accordingly.  
     

  • Increased productivity: Faster provisioning of applications and resources allows IT teams to respond faster to employee demands for new tools and technologies. The result: increased productivity, efficiency and agility for IT teams, an enhanced employee experience, and increased talent retention rates - all without hardware procurement delays.  
     

  • Simplified server management: From seasonal spikes in consumer demand to unexpected economic downturns, organisations need to respond quickly. Simplified server management makes sure IT teams can spin up, or down, virtual machines when required and re-provision resources based on real-time needs. 
    Furthermore, Extranet Systems can offer additional management consoles, dashboards, automated alerts, and reports and respond immediately to server performance issues.
