Upgrades to Virtualisation Technology for its hosted server applications.
Latest Software Technology aids growing
Email and Web Hosting firm in improving service to customers
Warrington Thursday October 25th
2007. Simply Mail Solutions have adopted the latest
Virtualisation Software technology to allow them to grow their service whilst
improving service to customers and making more efficient use of hardware.
Commented
Colin Smith SMS Managing Director “To
some companies virtualisation is just about running more servers on a given
piece of hardware. For us it was about maintaining levels of service customer
without the number of individual items of hardware getting out of hand and
becoming unmanageable”
SMS has adopted Infrastructure 3 from
VMware, Inc – one of the hottest technology company flotations of 2007 (NYSE:
VMW) and implemented it on a batch of powerful new servers from Dell.
Commented Keith
Pritchard, Technical Director of SMS “The ability to leverage our enterprise class
centralised NetApp storage means that the virtual machines are available to any
of the hosts in a cluster. This gives us the ability to seamlessly move a
service between servers with zero downtime in the case of a hardware problem for
example. The high availability platform constantly monitors itself and all
services for any sign of a problem and can take immediate action. Of course,
services can be moved manually across the cluster for maintenance meaning no
downtime to upgrade memory or replace a card.
Keith added “The
solution takes considerably less power than older solutions and is a key
component of SMS’s ongoing commitment to a more environmentally friendly data
centre. This came at a good time for us and saved us buying a large number of
individual servers. The existing servers will be redeployed for services such
as DNS”
