Cost Effective IT Solution

March 23, 2011

It is imperative that owners of small and medium businesses or SMEs are good at multi-tasking that is, being able to manage all the different functions of a business including finance, HR, sales, marketing, admin and of course the IT function at the same time as looking after their customers.

There is a fine line between managing costs conservatively and investing in business growth as there is now a growing number of web based businesses, SMEs must look for cost effective, energy efficient IT solutions.

In the past, high pricing structures meant that SMEs had to share their server space with up to hundreds of other businesses and if one server site had a fault it would take down all the other sites that were sharing the servers. For e-commerce businesses this would have been disastrous for the business productivity especially if that successful business was completely reliant on a stable IT infrastructure. 

Virtualisation was the key; a business has 99.9% server stability with virtual servers and more intensive monitoring conditions and the ability to contract service providers to provide service level agreements. Virtualisation also eliminates the need for space grabbing hardware, it helps to reduce electricity, insurance and security costs, and it also enables you to reduce your carbon footprint.
