Virtualization

Everything Paragrid™ does centers around leveraging the power of virtualization. The company's proven Virtualization methodology harnesses the power of industry leading virtualization providers to create a powerful portable data platform. This allows businesses to adapt and grow in today's ever changing business climate. This portable data platform, referred to as Virtual SODA, is a way of "bottling up" a customer's environment and making it highly available from anywhere in the world. Whether an organization is working towards business continuance and disaster recovery planning - or simply looking to increase productivity within its workforce by making workers location independent - Paragrid can help implement solutions that are tailored to each business need.

Storage is the foundation for all virtualization projects. Without a shared storage solution, virtualization is sure to fail. Paragrid's storage virtualization reduces the amount of wasted white space in today's storage environment by pooling storage resources, eliminating the need to focus on individual LUN or volume allocation. This pooling of resources through virtualization provides the throughput needed to virtualize even the most IO intensive applications such as SQL, Oracle and Exchange.

By virtualizing the server operating system, companies can consolidate their server workloads and save money on capital refresh costs as well as on operational costs such as power, cooling and maintenance. This also gives an IT staff the flexibility needed to perform maintenance and upgrades to mission critical infrastructure during core business hours without user interruption.

Desktops are often the most labor intensive area to maintain for IT departments. Virtualizing these assets, also known as VDI, allows organizations to provide access to the desktop from anywhere in the world. This process also lengthens the desktop's lifecycle and eases management activities such as security or patch updates.

Customers no longer have to worry about compatibility issues with virtualized applications. Virtualizing applications eliminates this constant battle ensuring all applications work together in concert. By accessing the applications from the data center, a form of cloud computing, companies can make these applications accessible anywhere, eliminating compatibility issues.
