On Demand Infrastructure

Think Beyond Hardware

Simplify your server operations and improve your return on investment (ROI).

In the traditional data world, companies have had to purchase and maintain separate, dedicated servers for each application and associated operating system running on the network. In terms of overhead and maintenance, each of these servers requires space, power, cooling, installation, integration and administration…each an expensive proposition in their own right.

This scenario becomes even less economical when you consider that space, power and cooling costs remain constant whether a resource is 7 percent utilized or 97 percent utilized.

CyberTrails' On-Demand Infrastructure allows you to run multiple applications and operating systems independently on a single server. Besides eliminating server sprawl, it's a highly available hosted service without the hassles of equipment procurement, deployment and maintenance.

So, whether you need primary data center facilities or have secondary and tertiary Disaster Recovery / Business Continuity needs, you won't have to overbuy processing power, RAM or datacenter space, power and cooling.

The cornerstone of CyberTrails' On-Demand Infrastructure is virtualization technology. Virtualization allows customers to run multiple applications and operating systems independently, on a single server. Administrators can quickly move workloads from one virtual workspace to another - easily prioritizing business needs while maximizing server resources. This results in improved utilization, simplified operations and an effective scale to meet changing business needs.

Leading technology from VMware, Inc., provides the core of CyberTrails' On-Demand Infrastructure. VMware is a pioneer taking physical infrastructure such as servers, partitioning them into virtual machines that the operating systems and applications then use, and creating a single pool of computing resources which are assigned to tasks as needed. This environment makes it easier and more cost-effective to manage a mix of virtual and physical assets.

Supported by VMware, CyberTrails' On-Demand Infrastructure enables you to increase efficiency, improve agility, decrease costs and complexities, while reducing risks.

Why On-Demand Infrastructure?


Simplify

In today's data center environment, applications are often tied to specific operating systems, which are in turn tied to specific, often custom hardware. The resulting server sprawl increases the degree of difficulty in managing all of this hardware and the costs associated with cooling and power. Eliminate server sprawl with CyberTrails' virtual machines (VMs) that can run safely and move transparently across shared hardware.

Pay as Your Grow

Abandon the practice of investing in capacity that you may never need. Buying excess server capacity for future growth drives up costs and locks you into older technology. With On-Demand Infrastructure, it's simple and economical to add capacity and processing power as your company grows. In short, CyberTrails On-Demand Infrastructure is a cost-effective alternative to buying your own processing technology.

Test and Development Optimization

Rapidly provision test and development servers by reusing pre-configured systems, enhancing developer collaboration and standardizing development environments. Avoid service disruptions during maintenance or unplanned events, and high capital costs associated with constantly evolving technology.

Business Continuity / Disaster Recovery

Dedicated servers can serve as a single point of failure. When it crashes, your application is down until the server can be repaired or replaced. In a best case, you're looking at two days of downtime before the repair or replacement has gone into production. With CyberTrails On-Demand Infrastructure, you will reduce the cost and complexity of business continuity (high-availability and disaster recovery solutions) by encapsulating entire systems into single files that can be replicated and restored on any target server, thus minimizing downtime.
