Since implementing VMware the organizations is now 90% virtual, leaving physical servers to handle DHCP, DNS and Microsoft SQL Server workloads. The virtual environment has decreased the company’s requirements for power, cooling and physical space, while allowing the organization to grow without purchasing additional servers. Applications are now in a fully redundant environment with increased uptime. We continue to maintain the environment by assisting the client with backing up virtual machines, applying necessary VMware updates, maintaining Snapshots and optimizing environmental performance.
