Consolidation

Comport will help you plan and implement an IT consolidation, including application servers, storage, network infrastructure and enterprise New Products. We can show you how to incorporate the latest virtualization technologies in each of these areas to increase your efficiency.

• SERVERS:  By taking advantage of newer, more powerful HP server hardware using VMware or Virtual Machine technology you can significantly reduce cost, increase flexibility and simplify IT resource management.  We are certified and experienced in MS Windows, Linux, UNIX and OpenVMS environments.  Comport also has extensive experience implementing HP’s Blade Systems for consolidation of servers, network connections and storage.  Our customers are cutting their costs significantly on hardware, software licensing, space requirements and power. 
• STORAGE:  Comport’s primary engineering focus has been in designing and implementing leading edge storage consolidation solutions such as:
• Storage Area Networks for FC and IP access to shared disk resources for multi-vendor, mixed-OS environments;
• Tiered storage solutions to consolidate data most efficiently based on its value to the business;
• Data archiving solutions to provide low cost, long term protection of data and quick access to it as required by the business;
• Data protection using instant recovery from disk, virtual tape libraries, FC tape automation and “incremental forever” backups.
• MANAGEMENT:  Comport architects will help you establish a single point of infrastructure management and workload monitoring.  We will show you how to implement free HP Systems Insight Manager (SIM) software and extend its reach to better manage storage, blades, software/firmware version control, power, service contract data and more!
• VIRTUALIZATION:  An integral part of IT consolidation, virtualization technologies help your organization pool and share IT resources: servers, storage, network components and software licensing!  Virtualization can also deliver increasing agility, enabling your IT organization to rapidly respond to changes in the business’ requirements.  Comport delivers solutions employing virtualization technologies such as VMware, HP Virtual Machines, Enterprise Virtual Arrays and virtual network connections.
