Server Virtualization is quickly becoming the de facto standard for the data center. Presidio designs and deploys solutions to reduce server sprawl and dramatically increase utilization. Presidio develops custom solutions to increase physical-to- virtual consolidation ratios, boost computing performance while ensuring high availability and reducing TCO.

For many organizations the business case supporting VDI is compelling. By increasing the number of desktops relative to servers in a distributed computing environment, our clients our able to significantly reduce storage costs and streamline management tasks. Presidio develops customer VDI solutions leveraging software from partners such as VMWare, Citrix and Microsoft coupled with complementary thin client and desktop/laptop technologies.

Networking speed and capacity are critical to realizing the benefits of the virtual data center. Presidio leverages decades of experience implements technologies from industry leaders such as Cisco to build converged networks that enable 10Gb speed and will scale to support growth in your business.

With all the focus on network and storage technologies, the server platform is often overlooked. Presidio builds unified computing solutions that deliver on the promise of virtualization and cloud computing. Our solutions leveraging technology such as Cisco UCS, simplify the management and administration of the Virtual Data Center by leveraging key technologies such as embedded management, unified connectivity (FCoE), extended memory support and virtual adapters.

In order to support the Virtual Data Center, storage architectures need to be scalable, flexible, reliable, and easy to manage. Storage arrays need to support not just the standard connectivity options (e.g. iSCSI, FC, NFS/CIFS), but also newer connectivity options like 8Gb FC, 10Gb Ethernet and FCOE. Equally as important as connectivity are the varieties of disks that are supported. It’s no longer as simple as FC and SATA. SAS and EFD technologies are dramatically altering the storage landscape. Presidio designs and implements custom storage solutions that work within your data center and simplify day-to-day administration tasks.

Virtualization forces us to rethink how we protect our data. The dirty little secret of all virtualization products is that eventually backup becomes a challenge. Organizations must backup the same amount of data as before, but across fewer hardware resources, causing backup windows to creep over agreed-upon service levels. Presidio delivers customer next-generation backup and recovery solutions that address the emerging challenges created by virtualization to improve data protection, minimize risk and control the costs of information retention.
