Server Consolidation
Achieve More Control and Flexibility in the Datacenter. VMware vSphere, the most robust software suite in the industry for server consolidation, can help your organization reduce costs by consolidating your server hardware and increasing server utilization. VMware vSphere can help reduce hardware and operating costs by as much as 50% and energy costs by 80%, saving more than $3000 per year for every server workload virtualized. Sirius has certified VMware experts who can assist in determining whether your x86 environment will benefit from server consolidation. Our technical specialists can design, implement and support a total solution based on your existing x86 hardware platform (Dell, HP or IBM), VMware software, and our own services.
