Many organizations are deploying virtualization solutions to improve server utilization, lower hardware and management costs, reduce power and cooling demands, and improve disaster recovery and business continuity. Server virtualization does not occur in a vacuum, however. It can increase the burden on other aspects of the data center infrastructure, particularly data backup and recovery. Backup processes must share the finite resources of a single physical server supporting multiple applications. Because virtual machines typically are optimized for application delivery, the backup environment must be re-engineered with these constraints in mind.

IP DataSystems can help you take advantage of server virtualization while ensuring high availability and data protection. With our deep experience in the latest storage technologies, we can reduce the load server virtualization places on your backup operations, and cut the amount of storage needed to support your virtualized environment. Whether you engage us to implement the server virtualization solution along with supporting storage and data protection technologies, or to help you scale your existing storage infrastructure to meet virtualization demands, you will get an efficient, flexible, and easy-to-manage solution that can adapt to changing business needs.
