Server Virtualization - Not Just for Big Companies Anymore
Reduce the number of servers you need to run your business, improve your IT performance……and save money too!  Sounds too good to be true, right? 

Virtualization for small and medium organizations is here and ready for prime time.  It’s the same technology that large corporations are adopting to save money.  You save money immediately and upgrade your information technology at the same time.  CPR has developed a virtualization strategy that can be used by almost any small or medium-sized business (SMB) that has five (5) or more servers.

For many businesses, the timing of the migration to a virtualization solution is dictated by a major upgrade, but it could also be driven by regulatory pressure (GLBA, HIPAA, etc) or the realization that an IT disaster could destroy the business.


Some benefits of virtualizing:
Consolidate multiple servers – from 5 or 10 down to 2
Rapid failover with redundant virtual servers
New hardware purchases  are minimized
May be able to use your existing servers
Utilize local server storage – no SAN required
Off-site online backup and restore (without any capital expense)
Minimal training required
Growth path to future disaster recovery solution with several options

The first step is to assess how many of your current applications can be virtualized and get a quote on the complete virtualization project.  It’s a good time to assess your situation and CPR can help.  As a promotion to help organizations prepare for 2009, CPR is offering a Virtualization Assessment, normally $2,500, now for $995.  Click here or call to schedule your virtualization assessment now.
