IT organizations are challenged by the limitations of today’s x86 servers, which are designed to run just one operating system and an application at a time. As a result, even small data centers have to deploy many servers, each operating at just 5 to 15 percent of capacity highly inefficient by any standard. Virtualization is a proven software technology that makes it possible to run multiple operating systems and applications on the same server at the same time. It is transforming the IT landscape and fundamentally changing the way that people utilize technology. Virtualization can also increase IT agility, flexibility, and scalability while creating significant cost savings. Workloads get deployed faster, performance and availability increases and operations become automated, resulting in IT that's simpler to manage and less costly to own and operate. Additionally, as Virtualization uses software to simulate the existence of hardware, it creates a virtual computer system. This allows businesses to run more than one virtual system and multiple operating systems and applications on a single server. This can hence provide economies of scale and greater efficiency.

Building High Performance and Stable Virtualization Infrastructure

Although VMware solutions provide benefits to enterprise clients, but it is generally a risky decision when it comes to taking help from a mediocre IT vendor providing VMware solutions for virtualization infrastructure. Hence, enterprises need assistance from such a vendor who can build high performance and stable virtualization infrastructure. “Clients expect quality and skilled VMware solution provider who can build high performance and stable virtualization infrastructure to meet their IT needs. We are conferred by VMware as “2015 solution provider award for outstanding contribution” and this shows our strength in the market and sales,” shares R P Arul Prasad, CEO at RK INFOTECH. This Coimbatore based VMWare partner has been providing solutions on server virtualization, desktop virtualization and Site recovery. “We are a Technology oriented Company providing solutions on Virtualization, Servers, Storage, Networking and Data protection,” adds Arul.

Arul points out that having skilled technical resources, good relationship with customers and capability of understanding customer requirements are the major challenges of IT vendors nowadays. However, RK INFOTECH has been successful in providing seamless and hassle free implementation and migration to virtualization infrastructure, which has ultimately helped customers to have a minimum production downtime. “We establish trust and confidence with customers by proving our technical experience in virtualization solutions. Additionally, we regularly update and get hands on training on various real time technologies and upcoming solutions, to enable our clients to compete in their industry,” adds Arul Prasad. The company leverages Replication and Site Recovery manager to provide improved disaster recovery to enterprise clients. “VMware replication and Site recovery manager is the proven and robust solution for disaster recovery. We are able to leverage VMware replication and Site recovery manager through our successful POCs for all our customers,” points out Arul. As his team has been capable of providing end to end IT solutions bundled with required Hardware, Software, OS, Networking, and Security; Arul believes that RK INFOTECH has bagged the award from VMware. In addition to providing virtualization solutions through partnership with VMWare, RK INFOTECH has associated with IBM, Zimbra, Cisco, HP, Dlink, Veritas, Lenovo and Dell etc. Through partnership with these vendors RK INFOTECH offers Mailing Solutions, Security Solutions, Networking, Data Protection apart from Server and Storage Solutions.

Enabling Consolidation and Virtualization of Servers

RK INFOTECH assisted one of its clients in Coimbatore who belonged to Ornaments Industry. Arul’s team implemented Servers Virtualization along with Site recovery Manager Disaster recovery solution at client’s premises. Initially, the customer was having traditional non- virtualized servers setup running with rack and tower servers. RK INFOTECH moved old hardware to DR site and implemented disaster recovery setup using Site Recovery Manager. Apart from moving old hardware to D R site, RK INFOTECH provided solution on IBM Pureflex Enterprise Hardware, IBM Storage and VMware Vsphere with Operations Management to consolidate and virtualize all the servers of client. As a result the customer is satisfied following consolidation and virtualization of its servers.

Another Bangalore based client was provided server virtualization solution for its chain of restaurants. “Bangalore based client having chain of restaurants was provided solution for servers consolidation and virtualization with IBM Pureflex Enterprise Hardware, IBM Storage and VMware Vsphere with Operations Management features,” shares Arul Prasad. Following deployment of these solutions, the client is able to run applications on Mail Server and Web server. In addition, clients can also run other applications on non-virtualized environment with individual servers for
each application.

Partnership with other Technology Vendors Ahead

Arul Prasad explains that RK INFOTECH is in the process of partnering with more technology vendors and aims to expand its reach across Metro cities in South India. Apart from partnership and expansion plans, the company is focusing on Airwatch and Mobile Device Management product of VMware with an aim to resell these solutions and products in the future. “At RK INFOTECH we will continue providing onsite support to customers.
