Consolidation and Virtualization is one of our sweet spots. We see the big picture. We understand the underlying business applications, their system requirements and how they all work together. That understanding is what makes us different. It bleeds into everything we touch. We can’t help it.
So what exactly do we hope to accomplish? We want to help your company reduce annual operating costs, maintain or improve systems availability and performance, use less storage space in the data center, and make IT tasks more efficient overall.
OST can also assist in decisions regarding server platforms, storage platforms and virtualization software choices. Reinforcing our role as a server platforms expert, OST will soon be releasing a book on blades entitled, “The Case for Blade Servers – Maximize Efficiencies in the Data Center”. This book will also include discussions around consolidation and virtualization. Our goal is for it to become the leading technical resource on these topics in the industry. On the storage front, OST was named as the second fastest growing storage focused IT solution provider in America in 2005 and was named to CRN’s Fast Growth 100 fastest growing solution IT solution providers in America for 2006 and 2007. Storage is an integral component when implementing virtualization and consolidation.
