Virtualization and Consolidation

Virtualization and consolidation are changing everything – from the way IT operates to how you measure success. Datalink leverages the power of virtualization to enable greater efficiency from your physical infrastructure across servers, storage, and networks, allowing IT budgets to keep pace with rapidly growing demand.

Virtualization and consolidation overview
Through our proven, incremental server-to-storage-to-network consolidation and virtualization strategies, we help you achieve the many benefits of a consolidated, virtualized environment. Datalink solutions drive many benefits: fewer management points; increased sharing among applications; a reduced infrastructure footprint; and shared server, storage, and network resource pools. Capitalizing on these benefits by launching a solution built from the best-available technologies helps you better utilize your existing infrastructure, reduce your IT footprint, and lower your overall costs.
Datalink uses a consultative approach based on best practices in virtualization and consolidation, data storage and protection, advanced network infrastructures, and business continuity and disaster recovery to deliver measurable gains in performance and value across the infrastructure. Experienced IT professionals provide a continuity of services including consulting, analysis, design, implementation, management, and ongoing support.
