IT MODERNIZATION BEGINS WITH GETTING YOUR SERVERS UPGRADED
A recent study conducted by Techaisle (Source: US Small Business IT Priorities and Marketing Report, Techaisle) on mid-size business IT goals concluded that the number one priority was migration from older technologies. The reasoning was simple: older technologies are more expensive to maintain, represent serious security and regulatory concerns, and they don’t provide the necessary flexibility to support growth.
At Connecting Point Computer Center we have worked with a number of companies like yours to help migrate from other hardware and servers and seen dramatic improvements while upgrading to Windows® Server 2008 R2 SP1 with Hyper-VTM. and Exchange 2010. Believe it or not, but the simple task of upgrading your aging servers and operating systems can significantly reduce costs but also set you up for some amazing benefits, including virtualization.
Here are just a few of our customer success stories from businesses like yours that have upgraded to Windows Server 2008 R2:
-
Chad David, a college IT administrator, upgraded to Windows Server 2008 R2 and Exchange 2010, and virtualized his servers. He was able to consolidate from 17 servers down to just 6 blades. According to Davis, "We not only saw benefits in heating and cooling expenses, we benefited by having to manage few servers and equipment. Our network is easier to manage."
The Next Step: We provide our clients with a valuable technology assessment report that provides details on your existing hardware and software, and recommendations on how to best upgrade your systems.
