Server Infrastructure

Networking Technologies and Support, Inc. (NTS) is your server infrastructure expert.

With a greater concern for the environment, many companies are trying to go green. This revolution is possible due to several technological advances available today. Blade servers come in a variety of sizes and shapes.  Blade servers are not just for enterprise customers anymore, now they are practical for the small to medium business. Blade servers allow you to put more processing power in a smaller footprint. While the density of processing power is increased, the power and cooling requirements are reduced because all of those old servers are no longer needed.

NTS can assist you with assessing your current environment and developing a plan that will be cost effective and help your company go green!

Virtualization is another way to reduce the number of servers in your environment. Information Technology (IT) departments have found that less than 10-30% of their server processing power is being utilized even at peak times. Most applications have been developed to expect a dedicated server; therefore running multiple applications on a shared physical server has caused interaction problems. This is where server virtualization comes in. Server virtualization enables IT to take advantage of excess processing power and present a dedicated virtual server to applications.  The rewards of server consolidation include:

Storage Area Networks (SANs) are another way that NTS can help ease the management of your environment. By consolidating your storage infrastructure, an organization can reduce the effort required to manage disk storage. Storage can be added or reallocated on demand. SAN hardware is vital when implementing virtualization in a way that increases business continuity. Virtual servers can be moved from one physical server to another utilizing shared SAN storage in the event of a server hardware failure, or if you need to move a demanding application to another server with more resources.
