Can you talk about briefly advantages of virtualization technologies?
When it comes to efficiency in information technologies, for a long time first technology that comes into mind was virtualization. There are many reasons for that. If you ask me, the main reason is virtualization provides the real benefit from the investment. What is real benefit? You likely to see a statement such as “according to a research, only 5% of processor power of the servers among the world is used” in the presentations about server virtualization. Although 5% is quite assertive, we have observed that this statement is very much true according to analyses we conducted in the companies. As 4S Information Technologies, we emphasize virtualization technologies so much because idle sources within the corporations can be recycled by this way. This recycling is not limited to only processor power or efficient use of the hardware. One of the main benefits of virtualization is management wise simplifications. Major problem that corporates/companies encounter related with IT infrastructures is management difficulties. We can manage our servers, data storage and network products via a single interface thanks to virtualization technologies, integrable software provided by network equipment manufacturers and we can enhance labour force efficiency. Many operations in which virtualization technologies are not used can be operated within a shorter time at virtualized structures. Consequently, we can save time which is the most valuable asset in our era.
Can you explain services and solutions that you offer? Can you mention about your targets?
4S Information Technologies does not consider virtualization solutions as only server virtualization. Besides server virtualization, “Desktop Virtualization” and “Application Virtualization” solutions are aiming at satisfying corporate IT needs. Without depending upon a certain virtualization solution manufacturer, as per corporate needs, we aim at providing most proper solution. “Disaster Recovery Centre” has been widely seen especially within public sector recently, we see that disaster scenarios have critical importance for virtualization. Such scenarios are included in virtualization technologies so that we can develop solutions and establish flexible, dynamic and efficient infrastructure to meet corporates/companies demand.
What are the main problems that companies face with about virtualization subjects?
Particularly, companies want to use their existing old version hardware for virtualization. Existing das storage CPUs that do not support virtualization, or old firmware hardware are the main problems for them.
We observe that data has been growing enormously each year. Considering this fact, what kind of changes do you expect in virtualization field in short and long run? How will the market be affected by this change?
Virtualization is a must for every project nowadays. During last years, we have used virtualization solutions in almost every project that we executed. Besides our positive belief in virtualization technologies; virtualization addresses all new emerging IT requirements. The most valuable thing is time in our era. Virtualization solutions enable us to save time. In addition to server virtualization, “Desktop Virtualization” and “Application Virtualization” solutions have taken a long way, virtualization is out of system rooms anymore and it became a solution that each employee can take advantage of it. If a user has a problem with this machine, she/he does not wait reconfiguration of her/his machine during rest of the day. This case is a history anymore. Thanks to desktop and application virtualization, the user can start to use her/his desktop and assigned application within minutes. It is quite easy now. Server virtualization is already standardized. I believe that desktop and application virtualization will be a part of this standard within a short period.
Virtualization is Indispensible
