Implementing a storage solution is cost effective and simple and has dramatic long-term benefits for the whole organisation.

Moving from Direct Attached Storage (DAS) in servers to external storage in a SAN, improves disc performance, simplifies backups and allows for rapid scalability.  Generation-e can help you analyse the true cost-of-ownership (TCO) of implementing a SAN in your network - including resource management, capacity use and business downtime. Implementing an effective storage system will help you store your data most efficiently with proper disc utilisation, virtualisation, and reduced storage costs.

Server virtualisation, also known as hardware virtualisation, is a popular solution because of the potential for serious economic benefits. Server virtualisation enables multiple operating systems to run on a single physical machine as virtual machines (VMs). With server virtualisation, you can consolidate workloads across multiple under-utilised server machines onto a smaller number of machines. Fewer physical machines reduce costs through lower hardware, electricity, cooling costs, less rack space and management overhead.
