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.
