Re-allocate your capital, virtualise!
Buying computers is a necessary evil of business today. You can't survive without them but sometimes you wish you could. Rather than investing precious capital in non-productive computer assets then watching them depreciate in an instant, virtualise and make them a monthly expense. You can save your capital and invest in more productive assets that add value to your business.
And its not just your servers that you can virtualise. How many desktop computers do you have in your office that could be converted to just a keyboard and a screen when they are due for an upgrade? Most users have a complete high-powered computer on their desk when they really only need a terminal. Virtualising some of your desktop computers can save you a lot of capital and significantly reduce your on-site computer support bills in the process.
A typical server costs from $3,000 to $30,000 to buy and at least $500 a month to maintain. A typical desktop computer costs from $1,400 to $2,500 to buy and at least $150 per month to maintain. You only have two choices. Buy the computers outright or lease them on a term commitment that costs much more than the original machine and more often than not sees you still paying for computers that have long-since been retired three or four years down the track.
Compare that to a virtual computer that has no capital cost at all and no long-term commitment. You can expense the cost as its incurred and with Vserv you can reconfigure the number of machines you have and their size or performance whenever you like, retiring ones you dont need and setting up new ones on demand.
What's more, a virtual machine doesn't get old. You never have to upgrade and there are no moving parts in your office to maintain. You save space, save on maintenance costs and your computers are always up-to-date.
Virtualisation is one of the fastest growing trends in computing today because it makes good financial sense. Talk to Vserv about adding virtualisation to your business operations.
