Virtualization Technology
Do you want to consolidate your business?
One of the high costs of establishing and operating a streamlined and efficient business is that of keeping abreast of technology changes. Ensuring that your team have access to the hardware and software that enables them to do their jobs effectively can cost thousands of dollars, and the costs are ongoing.However, the technology that has created this problem has also solved it, with the creation of Virtualization Technology.
The trend of using Virtualization increases as budgets tighten and businesses face increased scrutiny due to spending. Virtualization is transforming the way we utilise our current resources, increasing utilisation rates, reducing energy consumption and driving down costs.
As a result, many businesses, regardless of size or industry, are moving outside their comfort zones to explore Virtualization as a viable alternative. The goal of Virtualization and other emerging technologies is centred on doing more with less - a promise that is hard to ignore these days.
DS Prima develops tailored solutions for clients following principles of rapid development and delivery. This means being able to react to requests at short notice, and being able to perform constant iterations of development, testing, and demonstration. Furthermore, once a solution is delivered we typically put in place a support and maintenance agreement with the client, which means that we have to maintain handy a copy of their production environment in case we need to duplicate problem scenarios or verify functionality on their behalf.
All of this would be close to impossible and very expensive without an effective and reliable virtual environment, in which new servers can be installed quickly, and old ones can be brought back to live within minutes.
Lannex IT Solutions has been invaluable in achieving this. Their professional approach, technical expertise, and readiness to help has been fundamental part of our work strategy.”

What is Virtualization?
Picture this... a beautiful red Ferrari, light, compact, with its distinctive aerodynamic design. It has everything you always wanted and dreamt about a car. Now, if you live in a city, most of the time you will have a nice fancy car, but will not use all of its potential. From time to time, you will take it to a free speed road. What happens? Magic!
Well, the same happens with your servers and computers...
You might have an important process in your business and you want it working in a flash. So you buy a fast, sleek and powerful server that works like a dream. That’s great for the one or two days a month you run your process, but on the other twenty-something days your good-looking fast server is like the Ferrari that never has to get out of first gear, it is clearly under-utilized.
Today, most organisations would buy one server for each application. Virtualization Technology lets you share your computer’s resources – storage, memory and processing power – so that you can pretend it is actually two or more servers. One of the pretend servers can be dedicated to your payroll software and another to your accounting suite. Because these computers are virtual, you can easily change their settings so that on each application’s busy days, you dial up the power they need to perform at their peak.
That is Virtualization in its simplest form. It is the ideal way of getting the most out of your physical resources, growing in a sustainable and affordable way, reducing your energy consumption, simplifying operations and lowering your costs. It literally transforms your server into a Ferrari.
It’s easy to see how Virtualization in its simplest form can transform your business, it consolidates your business and:
- Maximises your resources
- Increases agility and mobility of your team
- Simplifies operations and lower costs
- Reduces Energy Consumption
- Strengthens your Data Security
For all your Virtualization needs, you have come to the right place, as Lannex IT Solutions are Virtualization Australia experts.
Consolidate your Business with Virtualization Technology
Server Virtualization offers significant advantages, but effective planning is crucial to your success. Our six simple steps ensure the Virtualization process is smooth and transparent for your business.
- Understanding your business and personal needs – Every IT Solution we provide is aligned with your business purpose and vision. It considers where you are and where you want to be. To succeed in Virtualization, it is absolutely critical that we know your systems, and know them well. Our first meeting is designed to get to know you, your business, where you are, where you want to be and how we can contribute so you reach those objectives sooner.
- Infrastructure Onsite Inventory - We take the time to analyse your environment to look for opportunities which will allow you to lower costs and enhance your utilisation at the same time. After making this analysis and linking it to your current and future needs, we will define with you whether or not Virtualization is the right solution for your business and the tangible benefits you can expect from it.
- Virtualization Roadmap – Virtualization is not a simple cure all, and one size will not fit every business. It is not wise or necessary for an organisation to virtualize everything. It is first critical to have a deep understanding of the IT environment and applications portfolio. Once this is done, it will be a lot easier to decide what can be virtualized, and the best way for doing it.
-
- Business Analysis -It is absolutely essential to develop a fundamental understanding of priorities. If you have two applications, and they need resources during the busy times, you will need to focus on one which is critical to your organization. Our Business Analysts will dig into your processes and systems and provide you with a Cost-Productivity Analysis and Return on Investment (ROI) so it is easier for you to allocate the resources to where are most needed.
- Implementation – Our experienced engineers deploy the Virtualization Roadmap in the agreed timeframe and make you part of all the process. Status Reports, Feedback and tracking Milestones will be presented along the way.
- Evaluation Report and Personal Action Plan – Once the Virtualization Roadmap is implemented, we will present an evaluation report on the deliverables of the project, our recommendations and the key performance indicators that will need to be monitored on an ongoing basis.

Benefits of Virtualization Technology
The benefits of Virtualization Technology are profound, because virtualization allows you to use all the computing power your computers possess, all at once. That ability means you can buy fewer computers and tune their performance to your needs. This saves your precious capital for other investments while also reducing operational expenditure because you only need to maintain one server. You’ll also find yourself consuming less electricity, giving Virtualization a green tint.
Another use of Virtualization Technology is to create test and development environments. Many organisations buy whole parallel infrastructures for these tasks. Virtualization lets you create a group of virtual servers you can use to test new software, all without disrupting production equipment.
Disaster recovery is one of the most acclaimed benefits of Virtualization Technology, as once your servers exist as virtual machines that can run on any hardware, you have a simple way to resume operations if a physical computer is damaged, giving you more peace of mind.
