Technologent Announces The Expansion of its Virtualization Service Offerings

LAKE FOREST, CA, April 2, 2009 - Technologent, a nationwide Solutions Integrator, today announced the expansion of the company’s Virtualization Practice area.  The company offers a complete set of virtualization services that help businesses optimize their IT resources and run their data centers more efficiently. Virtualization technologies provide clients with the ability to lower IT hardware acquisition and maintenance costs through consolidation of their environment. Technologent’s experienced virtualization consultants can provide end-to-end services and solutions that help clients design, deploy, migrate and manage virtualized solutions.

Technologent’s virtualization service offerings include Virtualization Assessments, Solution Implementations and Health Check Services.  A Virtualization Assessment allows a Technologent Solution Architect to recommend a virtualization strategy and hardware platform, perform a gap analysis and determine benefits from virtualizing. During a customized Solution Implementation, a Technologent Consultant will install and integrate all components of a virtualization solution, including server hardware, storage hardware, virtualization software and any associated third-party software solutions. Finally, as part of the Health Check Service, Technologent Consultants will perform on-site visits to assess the health, configuration and architecture of the client’s virtualized environment. This service allows clients to stay up to date on current best practices, capacity planning and identification of potential problems or performance bottlenecks.

“There are numerous compelling reasons to virtualize some or all of a computing infrastructure,” noted Chris Ciborowski, Technologent Chief Technology Officer. “However, moving to a virtualized environment involves considering a multitude of factors to be certain that business objectives, as well as technical obstacles, are met.  Technologent works together with our customers to ensure that all these variables are taken into account before the virtualization project is in progress.”

As part of Technologent’s expansion of their virtualization practice, the company has also announced the availability of two new white papers titled: Virtualization Challenges and Why Virtualize? Virtualization involves turning a number of physical hardware computing and networking devices into software and loading them on to a common high-powered hardware platform. The two white papers discuss the numerous considerations in moving to a virtualized environment.

  • Do you have a need to reduce your data center footprint or utility costs, while taking into account immediate and future growth?

  • Do you know the utilization rate of your servers and storage?

  • Is your current virtualized infrastructure one dimensional, only applying to one technology in the datacenter?

  • Are you planning to deploy server virtualization, or would you like to implement virtualization, as a means of achieving DR objectives?

  • Does your server environment consist of a large number of single-purpose servers, i.e. servers hosting only one application?

  • Do you feel as if your server, storage, or network (SAN/IP) management and maintenance costs are spiraling out of control?
