Organisations are under constant pressure to make the most efficient use of their infrastructures, Server, Application, Network & Storage. Recently, concerns over environmental impacts, and a desire to improve carbon footprints, have joined the usual drivers on price, manpower and utilisation.
Resource virtualisation is a key response to these pressures. No longer can IT professionals rely on single platforms to perform single tasks, and the desire to be able to drag and drop resources for fast deployment and re-deployment is high on the list. But when the IT infrastructure can be agile and open to fast, controlled change - that's when it can meet the ever-changing demands of business.
Cristie have been an early advocate of virtualisation at the Storage Level, developing, deploying, managing and supporting both Virtualised Storage Area Networks and Virtual Tape Library infrastructures.
Our experience of this technology across Europe makes us the partner of choice for customers across NHS, Local Goverment and the Private Sector (Pharmaceutical, Distribution, Financial etc). No matter what size the organisation, we are able to provide significant value through our consultants and our solutions.
