• Reduce the cost of data centre technology acquisition  and operations
  • Deliver energy and carbon reduction savings
  • Improve the deployment time of new business services
  • Maximise the productivity of ICT delivery and operational personnel

Consolidating ICT data centre infrastructure is realising efficiency savings of over 50 per cent in technology deployment and operational costs, but virtual architectures are not just limited to a server estate. Widespread consolidation across all the technology layers is not only possible, but a practical reality for driving wider savings and productivity improvements.

ICT servers, storage, network, and security platforms are all viable virtual architectures, and when virtualisation is extended into these core technology platforms, the entire data centre becomes less expensive to deploy, more responsive to business change, and enables a smaller team of specialists to deliver a better data centre service. Productivity of server operations specialists increased from 1:20 to over 1:100 post-virtualisation, with technology, energy, and support costs dropping dramatically.

While virtual architectures lower the cost of operating a data centre, it is the ability of virtual architectures to provide the smarter business architecture for service deployment that is essential to the public sector. Being able to quickly repurpose an existing infrastructure for new services will enable public sector organisations to make changes to how ICT services are deployed without having to wait or invest in additional technology.

Logicalis’ Virtualised Infrastructure Architecture delivers a flexible platform for public sector ICT delivery, one that is ready to support the business by facilitating necessary change, and enable the ICT department to deliver more efficient services to all of its users.
