Has your data room gotten out of control? Too many servers to support? Are you looking to reduce your hardware costs, cooling costs or power bill? Onward can help you consolidate your different servers onto a virtualized platform, using products from VMWare or Microsoft.

Virtualization can encapsulate an entire operating environment, including both hardware and software, into a set of files creating a "virtual machine".

Onward's dedicated staff of VMware certified professionals will implement virtualization by converting the physical hardware a computer operating system "sees" into virtual software components. This will allow a physical computer host, such as a server or desktop computer, to run one or more virtual machines on the same hardware.

Virtualization will benefit:

• Business continuity
• Disaster recovery
• Server consolidation and containment
• Desktop management and security
• Testing
• Development
