South Wales Firms and Virtualisation!

In the last 6 months why have gocompare.com, Harding Evans, The Convey Group and Celtic Energy implemented virtualisation? Each of these companies had specific issues which needed addressing and virtualisation of their systems was the answer, lets look at each of their issues to see how virtualisation resolved these –

Gocompare.com – were running 8 servers in their office and continuing to add to this for their development systems, Circle IT provided a virtualisation platform to consolidate all of these servers into a single server and allow them to have the ability to add commission any new servers they require at the drop of a hat.
Harding Evans – running a mix of old hardware, a hardware refresh was required which was the ideal time to introduce virtualisation. A single virtual server was implemented and old servers were discarded.
Celtic Energy – with their move to their prestigious new offices Celtic Energy did not want move 10+ server which were costing a small fortune to maintain and support, Circle IT virtualised these onto a single server to allow them to implement a small server room and less power and cooling costs.
The Convey Group – their business critical application needed to be highly available as downtime was not an option; Circle IT implemented Virtualisation in both of their offices to allow replication and high availability of business critical applications to ensure no downtime.
