Dear Inner Circle readers,
I'm sure you'll agree that these are interesting times. Petrol prices — up a lot, down a little. Cost of doing business — increasing. The climate — an inconvenient truth. Meeting and exceeding customers' needs — a continuous challenge.
These present an opportunity to businesses — to review, evaluate, and consolidate.
Many corporations have amassed systems and architected infrastructures to meet the growing computing needs of their businesses. More applications. Faster processing. Better user experience. Growing data to store. That usually means more systems, more real estate, and more energy consumption.
It is time to review what's in your datacenter, and to evaluate what is currently utilized and what can be deployed for other utilization. Is your current infrastructure based on one application per server? How can the systems in your datacenter be consolidated so that you can do more with what you have — without growing your datacenter, adding real estate, and increasing power consumption? There is a better way to meet your increasing computing and storage needs. Less can be more.
The Power of Open Source Virtualization
The solution is to virtualize your datacenter. Better yet, with an open source virtualization solution with no proprietary lock-in.
Sun xVM VirtualBox is the powerful open source virtualization tool that makes software development easier. It also eases migration issues by enabling a single computer to run multiple operating systems and applications simultaneously with virtually no difference in performance. And Sun xVM VirtualBox supports Windows, Mac OS, Solaris OS, and Linux.
Just last month we launched the latest version of xVM VirtualBox, which adds support for 64-bit versions of Vista and RedHat Enterprise Linux. The xVM VirtualBox has added a new interface for managing a virtual Mac desktop, improved networking for Mac OS X and the Solaris OS, and improved performance on AMD chips.
Your business can benefit from optimizing your current datacenter with end-to-end virtualization. It simplifies your IT infrastructures and gets more computing resources from your current systems, while increasing business agility and saving the environment.
We have a unique approach to virtualization and a comprehensive portfolio of products. If you'd like us to contact you to share our virtualization solutions, just drop us an email. It's good for business and good for planet earth.
