VMWARE and CITRIX VIRTUALIZATION SOLUTIONS
VMWare Virtualization
We are VMWare professional partner and implemented multiple solutions across various business.
Enhance System Solution As VMware Professional Partner
Being one of the original VMpartners , we have deployed several solutions to our customers. Being professional partner give us the edge to work closely with VMware to bring our customers top solutions and expertise. VMware selected us a Professional solution partner due to our excellent track record of designing, delivering and managing a wide variety of virtualization solutions to our Canadian customers
Virtualization dramatically improves the efficiency and availability of resources and applications in your organization. Given the present structure in most companies, Internal resources are underutilized under the old model i.e. one server, one application. Managing the servers under these models becomes a cumbersome job for the IT admins. This result in loss of productivity as opposed to innovations. An automated datacenter, built on a VMware virtualization platform, lets you respond to market dynamics faster and more effectively. VMware vSphere delivers resources, applications, and even servers ;when and where they are needed. VMware customers typically save 50-70% on overall IT costs by consolidating their resource pools and delivering highly available machines with VMware vSphere.
1. The Industry’s Most Reliable Hypervisor – VMware ESX/ESXi 5.x , part of vSphere 5, extends VMware’s legacy of highly reliable, highly scalable virtualization by delivering even greater levels of robustness, security, and performance. Already, over 85% of ESX/ESXi deployments are in production environments – an example of how companies, both large and small, trust VMware for their business critical workloads.
2. Reliable, Cost-effective Solutions for Small Offices – New vSphere Essentials Editions The robust, proven capabilities of VMware vSphere are now also available in two cost-effective packages designed for small offices. vSphere Essentials Edition enables server consolidation and centralized provisioning, management, and patching for immediate savings on hardware and operational costs. It also includes integrated physical-to-virtual conversion capabilities and the VMware VMsafe security APIs for third-party security products that deliver even better security than available on physical servers.
3. Higher Consolidation Ratios Means Lower Cost than “Free” – vSphere Performance Improvements Better performance and utilization lead to higher virtual machine consolidation ratios, which lead to lower capital expenditure costs.
4. Zero Downtime, Zero Data Loss for Applications – New VMware Fault Tolerance (FT) VMware FT ensures that protected applications are always available, even in the event of hardware failure – your applications may never have to go down again.
5. Virtual Networking for Internal Clouds – New VMware vNetwork Distributed Switch With VMware vNetwork Distributed Switch, IT can manage one virtual switch that spans an entire cluster instead of managing a separate virtual switch for each host – a new, time-saving way to manage virtual networks.
6. A Better Way to Enforce Security in a Virtual Environment – New VMware vShield Zones A key benefit of virtualization is the ability to break down silos within the datacenter.
7. Easiest Way to Configure Virtualization Hosts – New VMware Host Profiles VMware Host Profiles greatly simplify ESX host configuration management, thereby reducing operational costs since IT admins spend less time manually configuring and compliance checking each individual host.
8. Add Virtual Machine Resources with No Downtime – New Hot-add CPU/memory, Hot-Extend Disks Even with the best pre-planning, applications sometimes require more resources than originally expected. VMware vSphere delivers hot-add virtual CPU / memory and hot-add/extend virtual disks to dynamically add virtual machine resources.
9. Virtualize 100% of Your Applications – New Support for Eight Virtual CPUs and 256 GB per VM Higher CPU and memory maximums per virtual machine allow companies to virtualize the CPU and memory intensive applications in their datacenters.

Recent VMWare Project
Virtualization with VMware
This is a manufacturing company who had MS SQL, MS Exchange, file servers and Citrix Metaframe running on their servers. All these servers were running on standalone physical servers. They were taking data and system state backups with Veritas backup exec and periodic images of the servers using Acronis software. But their main concern was the time that it will take to restore these images and data, in the event of a physical server failure. Down time incurred during the recovery period could not be afforded because of the impact that it can cause on the critical business functions. Our solution was to virtualize the physical servers with an iSCSI SAN.
The solution achieved the following goals
1. In the event of a host server hardware failure the ability to restart any of the virtual servers on another virtualized host within ten minutes.
2. In the event of a software(OS or APPS) corruption in any of the virtualized servers, they can roll back to the latest working copy of the VM and be back up within few minutes.
3. Since data volumes are stored on the SAN independent of any of the Virtual Machines(VM) they can be attached to any running VM when required.
