Data Center and Virtualization Services

Datacenters are the backbone of effective IT operations. Managing them on a 24/7 basis is critical.
Fortify provides support to different elements within a datacenter such as:

• Systems Management - Server and desktop management for mainframes and distributed systems
• Network Management
• Storage Management
• Database Management - Includes providing support to different database environments such as Oracle, Progress, DB2, Sybase and SQL server
• Messaging Management - Includes support to applications such as Microsoft Exchange and IBM Lotus Notes
• Web Infrastructure Management
• Data Center migrations and rehosting

Common Data Center challenges our customers face:

• Cost inefficiencies of "server sprawl"
• Lower the overall cost of operating the data center
• Managing storage and servers at remote offices is becoming more complex and expensive
  
  

IDC predicts the number of servers in the U.S. will rise 50 percent over the next four years. Nine million servers currently operate in data centers across the U.S., impacting electricity costs, which is already in the range of $3.3 billion according to Information Week. As infrastructures have grown, expansion strategies have consisted of adding more servers. This situation is known as "server sprawl" and poses a costly set of problems for growing companies.

Why Virtualization?

Virtualization offers cost-effective means to address complex hardware and software management issues (underutilized equipment, high power and cooling costs, floor space limitations and proliferating administration requirements.) Strategies to reduce an organization's total hardware requirements, both in the data center and in remote locations, enable companies to:

• Maximize hardware and software resources
• Simplify management and maintenance tasks and
• Decrease total cost of ownership (TCO)
