| Server Virtualization - Some
Ideas
Adding Microsoft Technologies to UNIX / Linux Environments:
These days more and more customer (your customers) are wanting and
needing mixed O/S environments. Specialized applications or business
processes are making the days of a single platform seem like ancient
history. Server virtualization is a great fit for these
environments. Deploy a Windows based CRM program, a UNIX-based
accounting application and provide shared document storage all in one
place - on a single server.
While selling multiple servers to
handle multiple business critical tasks might be the preferred way to
go, it isn't always an option. Despite what some industry analysts
report, many businesses (including your customers) do not have
limitless IT budgets. The need for VALUE has never been more pressing
and virtualization can be a key componenet in supplying that value.
DTR is in the VALUE business and we can help you deploy value for your
customers - it's what we do.
In-House Development and Training:
Virtualization offers an excellent environments for in-house use. By
creating virtual machines on your server, you can easily test software
enhancements on multiple operating systems - all on one piece of
hardware. User and employee training is also a snap with the use of
the snapshot and rollback capabilities.
Don't miss out on the server
consolidation possibilities that virtualization offers. Enhance your
in-house capabilities by adding a Small Business Server or other
Microsoft server technologies to your infrastructure. Virtualization
is no longer a fit for just the data center - it fits everywhere.
Talk to your DTR account manager to kick around this idea and see if
it isn't a good fit for you.
Creating Upgrade Demand: If a
component of your business model includes server upgrades,
virtualization can help build a compelling value propostion for your
customers and prospects. By leveraging the powerful capabilities of
today's server hardware, you can create enormous value by deploying
additional features and functions for your customers.
Network workstation data backup,
enhanced file and resource sharing capabilities, e-mail hosting to
improve performance and control are just a few of the functions that
can be implemented. By offering benefits like these, you build a much
stronger case for server upgrade. Server upgrades are key in building
customer loyalty - not to mention revenue and profits - don't neglect
this aspect of your business, because your competition won't.
