NorCal Voice and Data can by a powerful ally in relieving your burdens and providing streamlined IT solutions. Contact us today so we can help you procure and implement energy efficient equipment.

Blade servers cost less to install, cost less to operate, save energy, save space and do much less harm to the environment than individual single servers do.

One of the biggest benefits of blade servers is the consolidation of power supplies and fans into a single chassis. This reduces power consumption, heat generation, and overall operating cost as compared to many single servers, each with their own power supplies and fans.

Physical deployment of new servers is much easier with blade servers. With single stand-alone servers, each server must be physically installed along with power cables and network/fiber cables. With blade servers, once the blade chassis, power and cable infrastructure is in place, adding additional servers to the chassis is as easy as adding a new hard drive to a disk array. Simply slide a blade server into the chassis and power it up.

Server Virtualization is the future of low power computing. It has changed the way servers are deployed and managed. Server virtualization can save you time and money by allowing you to achieve more with each physical server you purchase. Server hardware was originally designed to run a single O/S. Server Virtualization makes it possible to run many servers on the same physical server hardware at the same time, increasing the utilization and flexibility of the server hardware.

Blade Servers together with Server Virtualization can help meet the scalability requirements of today's complex data centers. With this combination, we can facilitate server consolidation and supply on-demand server provisioning. Virtualized servers running on Blade Server technology can significantly reduce the total cost of ownership compared to running individual stand-alone servers.

Here are some areas where Server Virtualization can ease your pain:

• Server Consolidation: Run many servers on one physical system

• Cost Reduction: When you reduce the number of physical servers and related hardware in your data center, it takes less physical space, and significantly reduces the power consumption and heat generation.

• Reduce Deployment Time: Spend less time provisioning, configuring, monitoring and maintaining your servers.

• Application Development: Create virtual development environments and test labs that duplicate the production environment

• Disaster Recovery/Business Continuity: Recover more quickly from outages by backing up and migrating your entire server environment with no interruption in service.

Let NorCal Voice and Data help you increase performance, reduce costs, and reduce your Data Center's carbon footprint.
