Virtualization of your data center drastically reduces cost by transferring your data center contents into a virtualized environment. Not only are your expenses reduced but storage and overall operation of your data center becomes easier and more efficient. Virtual data centers also take storage to the next level by backing up and replicating your important data. IAM Networks utilizes best of breed data center solutions and services, including carrier services, data networking, and physical infrastructure and cabling. We boast a team of engineers equipped with skills to design and integrate virtualization solutions. The benefits of storage and virtualization can be enjoyed by any organization, you need to ensure that your business meets the necessary technological requirements. Managed services play a very vital role in any of the streams in organizations of all sizes. Each service needs to be well—managed so as to operate efficiently, independently and optimally. Storage and virtualization managed services are designed to maximize the infrastructure performance of your organization in order to enhance IT innovative practices and its implementation and also help cut down on costs of ownership.

IAM Networks managed services optimize information infrastructure in order to drive continuous development. Service level adherence and disciplined governance further ensure that your infrastructure technology meets business needs at a lower TCO. To make virtualization more cost efficient, it’s critical that you opt for a virtualization plan that conforms to your current business needs, while still being capable of accommodating future developments and growth. Storage virtualization is a critical component of IT virtualization. Benefits of server virtualization—such as improved utilization, flexibility, responsiveness, workload mobility and disaster recovery—can be limited if only part of the infrastructure is virtualized. Storage virtualization is also one of the foundations for effective cloud deployment and software defined infrastructures.  Transferring your data from a physical data center to a virtual storage environment is a challenging transition for a company. We have partnered with industry leading companies, such as Dell EMC™ and VMware™ to ensure that downtime and risk are minimized during the critical transition period. IAM offers storage virtualization solutions to meet the needs of companies of all sizes.

Network Virtualization

Virtualization is the software that manipulates the hardware. Cloud computing refers to the service that results from this manipulation. Most often, the cloud includes virtualization products to deliver the computing service. The cloud provides self—service capabilities, elasticity, automated management, scalability and a pay as you go service that isn’t a characteristic of virtualization. Is your business in need of a virtualization solution? The answer requires an analysis of your company’s needs and requirements. To determine if virtualization is right for your business, there are a few things to consider—primarily cost. A company should consider cloud computing the delivery of shared computing resources through the Internet, cost of capital expenditures (CAPEX), cost of operational expenditures (OPEX), total cost of ownership (TCO), and virtualization the foundation of cloud computing; helps deliver the value of the cloud. Remote workstation accessibility—virtualizing your company’s desktops drastically cuts down the costs of refreshing hardware. With remote accessibility, deploying a Microsoft Windows™ upgrade among multiple users, for instance, is much easier and faster.

Features And Benefits

While planning or augmenting your virtual environment, it is important to include the integration of monitoring and access control in the mix. Seeing your inter—VM traffic can help you troubleshoot and optimize your virtual network. It can also help you define and refine access controls so that all traffic is business appropriate and enabling. Unlike traditional data centers that need to be monitored on a day—to—day basis, virtualized storage requires little to no maintenance. The automated management feature also makes it possible to run tasks without the need for a network administrator. In general, businesses that operate on a OPEX model, have less IT staff, and fewer security concerns are more cloud oriented. Businesses that need greater control for integration and security or are working on a CAPEX model would lean towards virtualization. Virtualization is the optimal solution for many companies, but not all. This is why IAM Networks  works with you to determine the individual needs of your business. If virtualization isn’t necessary, a cloud solution can offer many benefits that will be more aligned to your needs. IAM Networks managed services solution automatically backs up your data as often as you wish to ensure it remains secure.
