Take Your Business to the Next Level With Virtualization
Virtualization gives you more power, greater efficiency, and enhanced agility at less cost.

In the past, IT networks necessitated a vast infrastructure of hardware, software and cabling. Expansion to increase functionality and adapt to increasing demands ate up budgets and came with heavy maintenance requirements. In today’s technology-driven business environments, virtualization has opened up a world of possibilities by freeing up resources so you can take your business to the next level.

Through intelligent, synergistic physical and virtual infrastructure design, KKworx effectively unifies your networking, computing, storage, application, and management resources to deliver more power, greater efficiency, increased security, enhanced agility, and up to 50% reduction in IT costs compared with physicalization alone.

Synergistic Server Virtualization

DESIGN
  • EXISTING PHYSICAL INFRASTRUCTURE
  • Evaluate current utilization and capacity of existing physical infrastructure (*Can be part of a full systems audit, or a network assessment designed specifically for a virtualization project.)
  • IDENTIFY CANDIDATES
  • Identify servers and applications suited to virtualization
  • STORAGE
  • Evaluate & identify suitable storage type: Internal storage, NAS, or SAN
  • LIVE FAILOVER/MIGRATION
  • Evaluate & determine if live failover or migration is required and design accordingly
  • PHYSICAL/VIRTUAL NETWORK
  • Physical and virtual network design to separate management access and VM traffic
  • OPTIMIZE SAN/FAILOVER
  • Network design to optimize SAN access and failover
  • BUILT-IN REDUNDANCY
  • Virtualized servers can reside anywhere in your network – onsite in your main data center, at a leased data center, or in the cloud – making it easier to survive an unplanned disaster, or move a VM from one server to another.
  • COST/BENEFIT ANALYSIS
  • You’ll see how server consolidation lets you get more out of your existing hardware investment or new hardware purchase by running multiple virtual machines on a single physical server. Fewer servers means lower capital and operating costs.

BUILD
  • HYPERVISOR
  • Install and configure hypervisor (VMWare, Hyper-V or XEN)
  • STORAGE
  • Install and configure Storage
  • NETWORKING
  • Install and configure networking – Management access, LAN and SAN
  • CONVERSION
  • If needed, physical to virtual conversions to migrate physical infrastructure to a virtualized environment.
  • OPTIMIZATION
  • Once converted, the new Virtual versions of your servers will be optimized by removing unnecessary old software and hardware drivers that are no longer needed, significantly reducing your TCO (total cost of ownership) for IT infrastructure.
  • INSTALL/CONFIGURE/TEST
  • Install, configure, and test live failover or migration components

MANAGE/MAINTAIN/BACKUP/PATCHING
  • MONITOR
  • By monitoring your virtual environment, either the whole infrastructure or select virtual machines, our onsite alerting system is able notify you if ever there is a problem and to let you know that scheduled jobs are completing correctly.
  • BACKUP
  • Automatic Backup of virtual machines is accomplished utilizing 3rd party specialized backup software or traditional file level backups.
  • SERVICE PACK
  • Annual hypervisor hotfix or service pack installation and upgrade.
  • HOSTING
  • Our customers have virtualized environments onsite, in regional leased data centers, and in the cloud.
  • RESPONSIVE TROUBLESHOOTING
  • Customers appreciate our responsive troubleshooting to any issues that may arise, contacting them within minutes of our system alert to review and correct the problem.
