Shared Virtual Infrastructure

Transform your Business with a Shared Virtual Infrastructure!

In business today, 1st movers gain a competitive advantage and IT responsiveness and agility matter; yet many IT organizations struggle to meet the needs of the business in a timely way.  Information Technology As A Service (ITaaS) or Cloud Computing is an approach or way to address this issue, and Shared Virtual Infrastructure is a path to get you there.

Improve the efficiency and availability of IT resources and applications through shared virtual infrastructure. Start by eliminating the old “one server, one application” model and run multiple virtual machines on each physical machine. Free your IT administrators from spending so much time managing servers rather than innovating. About 70% of a typical IT budget in a non-virtualized datacenter goes towards just maintaining the existing infrastructure, with little left for innovation.

An automated datacenter built on the production-proven virtualization platforms lets you respond to market dynamics faster and more efficiently than ever before. Shared Virtual Infrastructure delivers resources, applications—even servers—when and where they’re needed. Customers typically save 50-70% on overall IT costs by consolidating their resource pools and delivering highly available machines.

Root Cellar Technologies Enables a Shared Virtual Infrastructure using simple, industry-proven, cost-effective solutions with dramatic results including:

  • 60-80% utilization rates for x86 servers (up from 5-15% in non-virtualized PCs)
  • Cost savings of more than $3,000 annually for every workload virtualized
