Virtualization Services
Virtualization is commonly thought of as a way to better utilize the horsepower of high performance systems by enabling them to run multiple “virtual” computers or operating system platforms simultaneously. Today, there are now many more business problems that virtualization can help to resolve. Problems such as license control, more efficient management and deployment of infrastructure resources, 24 x 7 demands and regulatory requirements and the continued optimization of resources. A framework from Virtustream qualifies, adopts, merges and optimizes the six major areas of virtualization technology including: Server/Host, Storage, Application Software, Business Continuity, Network and Data Center Virtualization.
Cloud Adoption Strategies
Virtustream provides the full spectrum of infrastructure options for clients who wish to consider how their current estate can incorporate virtualization and cloud strategies. We have expertise in creating custom private enterprise Clouds, on-site dedicated Clouds and hosted multi-tenanted Cloud strategies. Leveraging our industry expertise, we assess the current infrastructure and build the plan that will successfully transition businesses through the Cloud adoption process. Guided by our customized roadmap, clients discover the tactical and strategic specifics of how to adopt Cloud services at their own pace – rather than embracing radical decisions, which may be potentially disruptive to their business.
Infrastructure Estate Planning
In order to quickly and economically realize the benefits of moving into the Cloud, clients draw on our deep experience in developing and delivering transformation services as well on our patent-pending transformation tools. xStream Advisor is an integrated suite of software tools and professional services that leverage our 10 years of virtualization and cloud experience. Advisor leverages proprietary statistics and algorithms that were created from converting physical infrastructure into virtual resources. This data is developed to optimize the client’s workload balances so that their specific workload requirements will run efficiently in the smallest virtual infrastructure footprint.

Cloud Integration Services
Infrastructure is inherently different because of several factors; including varying applications and workloads, geographical nuances which create latency, and the underlying physical infrastructure supporting the environment. Virtustream’s Private Cloud Integration Services provide cloud design solutions designed to help clients maximize the use of shared resource pools. We can support the build of private internal pools of resources for test and development environments or implement dedicated environments specifically suited for production. We can create custom roadmaps that enable SaaS and PaaS-based application development.
Operational Readiness
When making the transition from a physical to a virtual environment, there are often difficulties aligning certain IT processes and service management principles with the new virtualized infrastructure. One example is that asset management of virtual workloads is much more challenging than the physical world. Virtustream offers a full suite of services to help businesses easily identify what will be different in a virtual or Cloud computing environment. Guidance is then provided so that organizations can adjust their IT processes and compliance procedures to ensure their effectiveness in this modern infrastructure.
