KUALA LUMPUR: Corporations that need virtualisation, datacentre and networking infrastructure and services now have a single contact point instead of the usual three.
Data storage company NetApp Inc, networking company Cisco Systems, and virtualisation company VMware Inc have collaborated to offer a design architecture to build virtualised datacentres.
Mano Govindaraju, country manager for Malaysia and Brunei at NetApp Malaysia, said corporations will no longer have to buy three pieces of technology and put them together.
“We are taking that headache away,” he said.
He explained that setting up a virtualised datacentre is usually a painstaking process because it requires dealing with multiple vendors, as well as studying hardware and software specifications.
With the design architecture developed by NetApp, Cisco and VMware, the task is simplified to the point where the customer only needs to decide on system requirements and how much it wants to spend.
“We will come in and build a virtualised datacentre to your specifications. We will also network it for you,” said Sean Ong, director of commercial mid-market for Cisco Systems (Malaysia).
“We provide the expertise and the design architecture. Just tell us what applications you are using, how big your database is and some other details, and we do the rest.”
The prospective customer can approach any of the three companies.
Virtualised datacentres are getting popular because corporations are able to reduce the amount of servers needed — cutting down on storage space and energy consumption. Most company servers typically use only 10% of their capacity, claim proponents of virtualisation.
