Save money: Protect your bottom line with the energy-efficient data systems of the future.

Conserving energy saves you money. It's really that simple. By minimizing the hardware your company's IT department buys and maintains, you can significantly lower the cost of ownership of your systems. This is because you minimize your cost to house, heat, cool, and maintain machinery. A properly optimized virtual infrastructure will provide your business the most economical footprint possible for the processing capacity you need. The Project Gatsby solution uses far less energy to power and cool, because there are fewer servers and network devices in proportion to your user base, which translates directly to lower power bills for your company.

Adding capacity is cheaper, too, because using your new virtualized design, you can purchase fewer server units in proportion to users.

Getting started with server optimization doesn't mean starting all over at once. Migration to virtualized data centers can be introduced incrementally, as planned upgrades come online. This way, your company can leaf in new technology in line with annual budgets.

Scalable on Demand: solutions for today, tomorrow, next quarter, and next year.

Business is more competitive than ever and data processing demands have a habit of growing, not shrinking. It's easy to see why a more hardworking and scalable infrastructure would be a plus in any business environment. Maximize your data center investment with a fully optimized, unified system design, and open the throttle to work faster and grow your company in the times ahead. Project Gatsby has designed and implemented virtual data centers for companies with more than 1500 physical servers, demonstrating our ability to support large installations.

For example, say your company invites a vendor to install and demonstrate new software. Instead of the old routine of buying and installing a new server just to accommodate the dog and pony show, an IT manager can have a new virtual server provisioned with just a phone call. Nothing to buy, nothing to install, just instant additional functionality.

By abstracting the hardware from the operating system, your company will experience the power of virtualization through redundancy without the typical overhead. In clusters of physical hosts, even as few as two, the virtual machines can travel from physical machine to physical machine and seamlessly cover functionality if individual virtual servers should fail. Users will experience nearly 100% up time without the business purchasing redundant servers that end up sitting idle in the racks.

Conserve Energy: enhance your company's green policy

Conservation is our most overlooked opportunity to save energy, and thereby reduce impact on the environment. Servers and networking devices draw a surprising amount of juice by nature. Companies like Google, whose business it is to run huge server arrays, are grappling with the enormous cost of sheltering, powering, and cooling their installations. Now, downstream of multinational enterprises like Google, the conservation benefits of virtualization are becoming more available and widely adopted as a best practice for small to medium sized businesses, capable of being integrated into your already existing green initiatives.

While electricity may seem clean, the energy produced by our coal and oil burning power plants isn't. They are our biggest source of greenhouse gasses such as carbon dioxide, contributing to global warming. Keep in mind: each kilowatt-hour of electricity saved translates to 1.5 to 2 pounds less carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere by power plants.

Secure Your Data with On-site Cloud Computing

Storing and serving your data off-site on a hosted cloud server introduces security issues. Whether you're worried about the possibility of data being intercepted as it is transmitted over the Internet, or the much less likely breach of security on the server side, keeping your data onsite alleviates these concerns. This is naturally of special concern for financial and health care organizations in regulated business environments. Even if your company does not handle real-time financial transactions or large volumes of sensitive data, keeping your data securely on your premises may determine your company's choice to virtualize internal systems rather than change to a hosted server solution when you are ready to expand capacity.
