Making the promise of virtualization a reality

Virtualization is revolutionizing the data center and creating efficiencies never before realized by dynamically sharing critical and expensive resources between applications when needed or on demand.   A fully virtualized data center cannot be achieved successfully through server virtualization alone.   To achieve real benefits of virtualization, IT organizations to take a holistic view of data center infrastructure and abandon traditional, siloed “best of breed” approach to procuring enterprise server, network and storage technologies. 

Presidio is a firm believer in the integrated stack architecture – aligning computing, network/transport, storage, backup and recovery technologies to bring more efficiency, flexibility, security and ease of operation in the data center.  By aligning on and implementing an integrated architecture, IT organizations benefit from far fewer complexity and interoperability issues, and reduce costs in the long run.  Because virtualization is blending the lines across IT silos, data center architecture decisions must change to account for broader implications across the entire IT infrastructure.  IT leaders who are still choosing servers, transport and storage solutions independent of each other from a variety of vendors are missing an opportunity to improve efficiencies and lower operating costs in the data center.

Presidio brings decades of experience designing, building and managing integrated data center solutions.  Contact us or visit one of our Data Center Centers of Excellence to learn how we can help you make the promise of virtualization a reality.
