Datacenter Optimization and Virtualization

Is your datacenter hard to manage or poorly utilized? Are costs spiraling out of control? Are you concerned about its security? Today, many organizations are storing more information than they ever thought possible. And that means the datacenter is now just one component of an IT strategy that supports growth and improves operational efficiency.

At Avanade, we believe that a holistic datacenter strategy is key to business agility. With the Datacenter Transformation and Optimization service, you’ll get a dynamic infrastructure based on a unique combination of new Microsoft® technologies for virtualization, management and security. We work with you to develop solution road maps to help you take control of your datacenter assets for a centralized—and optimized—operation. You’ll be able to:

• Scale as needed, without sacrificing the safety of your data.
• Get fast, flexible server provisioning dynamically within minutes, with a typical 60 to 90 percent reduction in physical servers (numbers will vary*).
• Identify and allocate resources according to real-time peaks and ebbs with automated monitoring and control processes.
• Prepare your datacenter to integrate cloud computing.
• Standardize your approach to governance so you stay current as cloud-based offerings mature.

*Studies have shown these types of results but actual number may vary within these ranges based on actual circumstances.
