Servtec - Virtualization

Virtualization

Many companies have already jumped onto the virtualization bandwagon and it is time you consider doing so as well. Virtualization allows companies to consolidate multiple physical servers into a single physical server for better resource utlization. This also leads to lower cost of ownership as you save on energy costs.

These are the services that Servtec provides for customers on x86/x64 environments:

VMWare vSphere Setup & Configuration changes
Physical to Virtual Machine (P2V) Migration
Data Protection for VMs
VMWare ESX Server Upgrade
OS Installation for new VMs

For customers with Solaris Sparc environments, these are the services we provide:

Containers / LDOMs configuration for Solaris Sparc servers
High Availability for Containers
Solaris 8/9 to containers migration

We also perform deployment of Oracle VMs for customers interested in running their RACs on virtual machines.
