Accelerate Your P2V Adoption With VirtualMachines.net Business Continuity Professional Services

Most organizations intending to move to a virtualization or cloud based hosting environment experience a difficult time achieving Physical to Virtual (P2V) migration targets. This results in missed virtualization ROI and low enterprise adoption rates.

Several factors contribute to this problem including limited in-house technical skill-set around new virtualization technology and scheduling challenges related to the workload and project management needed to complete a non-disruptive P2V migration.

Our VMware Certified Professional are available to perform a cost-effective, IT business continuity, end-to-end P2V migration solutions to help our customers achieve virtualization, consolidation, fail-over and disaster recovery targets. Key aspects of our services offerings include:

• Rapid and cost-effective physical to virtual server migration solutions
• Turnkey solution that provides planning, staffing, management, execution, and troubleshooting
• Experienced teams using on-site and remote delivery
• Robust migration management and P2V acceleration tools
• Total IT Business Continuity

Business Continuity – Implement a Disaster Recovery Solution

Business continuity in the event of a disaster is a “must have” for organizations large and small. VirtualMachines.net offers a complete disaster recovery program with offsite data replication and virtual machine restoration using VMware Site Recovery Manager. Our VMware Certified Professionals will develop, implement and test a customized disaster recovery program specifically for your mission critical business applications and one that will meet your Response Time Objectives (RTOs).

Traditional disaster recovery solutions are complex and often fail to meet their RTOs, due to extensive manual processes, out-of-date runbooks and poor testing practices.

Guaranteed Compute Resource Allocations

Early incarnations of virtual private servers or shared server configurations were plagued by oversubscription models and virtual private servers were locked into a single dedicated server, resulting in sluggish performance during periods of high use or in the event that you shared a server with another client hogging the host’s resources. Our use of VMware’s vMotion and DRS eliminates this problem as DRS continuously monitors utilization across our server cluster and intelligently aligns resources with capacity demands. vSphere DRS continuously balances computing capacity across our server cluster to deliver overall performance, scalability and uptime that is not possible to achieve with dedicated servers. DRS enables us to:

* Provide dedicated and guaranteed computing power to your virtual machine and allowing it to function and perform as if you had a dedicated server (but without the single points of failure inherent in a dedicated server).

* Offer customized SLAs that dynamically allocate resources to your highest priority applications.

* Provide improved performance for all of your applications as vSphere DRS continuously balance capacity will ensure that each virtual machine has access to appropriate resources at any point in time.

* Easily deploy new capacity. vSphere DRS will seamlessly take advantage of the additional capacity of new servers added to our server cluster by redistributing virtual machines without system disruption.

* Offer 100% uptime SLAs, including no maintenance windows as vSphere DRS can automatically migrate all virtual machines off physical servers to enable scheduled server maintenance with zero downtime.

Minimize Downtime By Using A High Availability Network

If you have suffered downtime due to server failures or have had your site become unavailable for an extended period of time, it is time to adopt High Availability Hosting utilizing a high availability network. All of our virtual dedicated servers and machines utilize VMware’s HA feature which automatically moves your virtual machine off of a failed server. The diagram below illustrates the sequence of events that occur if a server in our network crashes.

• Our vCenter constantly monitors virtual machines to detect operating system and hardware failures.
• Your virtual machine will be restarted on another server in our cluster without manual intervention when server failure is detected.
• Your applications are protected from operating system failures by automatically restarting virtual machines in the event an operating system failure is detected.
