Increasingly recognised as standard industry practice in the cost-effective deployment of multiple server systems, virtualisation enables organisations to consolidate their IT resources by increasing their utilisation of existing devices, and providing them with the capacity to execute multiple functions.

Efficient Use of Resources
Moving to a virtualised environment allows hardware to be aggregated into a unified pool of IT resources that can be dynamically delivered to systems and applications as needed, and according to fluctuating workloads and network conditions. This enables organisations to boost their utilisation of processing power, decreasing the number of servers and hardware required and delivering savings on space, power, cooling and ongoing support costs.

Zero Downtime Maintenance
Thanks to virtualisation, the days of bringing down applications for scheduled server maintenance are over. Using virtual motion technology, entire virtual environments can be transferred to a backup server without disruption, allowing our IT experts to proceed with maintenance or even server replacement without affecting service delivery.

Instant Provisioning
Virtual machines can be more easily and flexibly controlled and configured than physical systems, allowing users to introduce new systems, applications and upgrades in response to changing business needs faster than ever before. Users can provision virtual machines as required without the need for an up-front hardware purchase, and new applications can similarly be delivered in a matter of minutes, rather than days or weeks.

Business Continuity, Backups and Disaster Recovery
Virtualisation can help to safeguard your business continuity, allowing you to securely backup data and quickly recover from unplanned outages. Operating systems and applications can be backed up as a complete unit and replicated to a secondary data centre, ready to be activated in the event of a failure at the primary location.

Runge ICT offers a DR site replication through the use of our Runge Vault Elite DR service replicating data delta and file changes from every 5 minutes to 24 hour period to our secure data centre using Cisco network and server infrastructure and EMC storage.  Once active, full disaster recovery can be made in real time for hot recovery sites and within 30 minutes for cold recovery.
