Complete Virtual Solution
Are you running at 80-90% storage utilization and are getting ready to spend millions on new hardware upgrades? If so please take the time to read about Fairway Consulting Group’s Total Virtual Solution. FCG has provided their solution to companies like: Embraer, IKEA, Kingston Technologies, Sage Software, The Knight Foundation, Virginia Tech (currently) to name just a few. How does virtualization work you are probably wondering. Through virtualization, we take your current server environment and consolidate those servers into virtual machines (VM's); reducing the number of physical servers that are needed by an 8:1 ratio.
When it comes to storage utilization, the industry average is 35%; leaving you with 65% of your storage wasted and a very poor ROI. Our DataCore solution takes your current storage and maximizes your utilization through a process called "thin provisioning". Thin provisioning changes the way storage is accessed by moving away from a “commit-on-allocate” model to a more efficient “commit-on-write” model, therefore greatly reducing the amount of storage hardware required which directly affects your bottom line.
If energy conservation or "green" sustainability is a concern for your business, then the FCG Total Virtual Solution is exactly what you are looking for in order to dramatically lower your electrical needs, as well as significantly reducing current and future hardware maintenance. Our Pano Logic units run in conjunction with the virtual platform and replaces your current 150 watt desktops with a solid state device that uses only 5 watts; saving your department possibly hundreds of thousands of dollars per year in electrical costs alone. I could go on and on about how virtualization is the wave of the future, but I ask only that you give us the opportunity to provide a webinar or conference call with one of our engineers to discuss how FCG can put your business on the cutting edge of Information Technology.
