Virtualization is one of the most compelling topics in the computing world today. By partnering with leading virtualization technology vendors, Razor Technology ensures you can leverage current technology investments while strengthening your company's operations and bottom line.

SERVERS & DESKTOPS

Razor Technology's certified virtualization engineers - design, plan, implement and support Virtualized Infrastructures for some of the most demanding datacenters in the world. Razor Technology delivers the next generation of industry-leading infrastructure virtualization software that virtualizes servers, storage, and networking, allowing multiple unmodified operating systems and their applications to run independently in virtual machines while sharing physical resources. The suite delivers comprehensive virtualization, management, resource optimization, application availability, and operational automation capabilities.

Virtualized Infrastructure

MINIMIZE YOUR TOTAL COST OF INFRASTRUCTURE OWNERSHIP

• Increase hardware utilization and reduce hardware requirements with server consolidation ratios commonly exceeding ten virtual machines per physical processor
• Reduce required datacenter square footage, rack space, power, cooling, cabling, storage, and network components by reducing the sheer number of physical machines
• Decrease labor cost by simplifying and automating labor and resource intensive IT operations

IMPROVE RESPONSIVENESS, SERVICEABILITY, AVAILABILITY, AND FLEXIBILITY

• Improve application availability and business continuity independent of hardware and operating systems
• Enable continuous uptime and non-disruptive maintenance of IT environments with live migration of entire running systems
• Eliminate cumbersome software installations and configurations with virtual appliances
• Accelerate application development and deployment lifecycles
• Improve responsiveness to business needs with instant provisioning and dynamic optimization of application environments
• Allow legacy systems to co-exist with new environments

Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI)

MANAGE AND CONTROL DESKTOPS FROM A CENTRAL LOCATION

Enable your organization to host desktops inside virtual machines running on centralized servers in a data center using technologies such as VMware Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI). Users can access their virtual desktops remotely from a traditional PC, thin client or re-purposed computer using a remote display protocol. VDI enables you to:

• Manage desktops centrally, simplifying desktop installations, backups, and maintenance
• Control access to sensitive data and intellectual property by maintaining information in a secure data center
• Provide individual isolated virtual desktops to end users that look and feel like their normal desktop

VDI gives you the benefits of server-based computing without the limitations of shared services technologies or the application integration hassles.

VIRTUALIZED DATA STORAGE FOR VIRTUALIZED ENVIRONMENTS

To respond to changing business needs, administrators need to be able to deploy new virtual machines and provision storage for them quickly. With Razor's solutions, you can slash provisioning time by up to 40% with no impact on servers with our nearly instant, low overhead storage provisioning. Shorten your test and development cycles from weeks to minutes with instantaneous cloning of your virtual machines and by instantly repurposing storage capacity between projects. Quickly adapt to unexpected storage demands with real-time scalability and the flexibility to support any future SAN or NAS projects (FC, iSCSI, NFS, or CIFS). Shorten your test and development cycles by instantly repurposing storage capacity between projects.

MANAGE RISK

Protect your virtual infrastructure and your data with near-instantaneous backup and recovery that doesn't impact performance. With our solutions, you can recover virtual machines twice as fast as you can with our competitors in VMware environments. Protect more of your data affordably while delivering higher levels of application availability with our network and storage efficient disaster recovery solutions. Speed up your ability to fail over and perform frequent non-disruptive testing of disaster recovery through our integration with VMware Site Recovery Manager.

MAXIMIZE STORAGE UTILIZATION

Razor's data storage solutions for virtual server and desktop environments enable data de-duplication across your primary, backup, and archival storage, reducing your virtualized storage requirements by 50% to 90%. We help you further maximize storage utilization in several ways. Thin provisioning can increase average storage utilization above 70%, and Snapshot™ technology reduces storage for backups. These savings can reduce your power, space, and cooling requirements by 50%.

INCREASE OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCY

You can empower your virtualization administrator to manage storage for virtual machines from provisioning to data protection through policies established by the storage administrator. Ensure recovery of your VM's critical data with application consistent, non-disruptive backups.

QUICKLY MOVE FROM PHYSICAL TO VIRTUAL

Experience a smooth transition to your optimal infrastructure with our specialized virtualization services. From assessment to implementation and management–our experienced and certified professionals, using proven methodologies and best practices, can help get you where you want to be, efficiently and with no surprises.

Virtual Environments – Backup, Restore & Disaster Recovery

ELIMINATE BACKUP WINDOWS

Speed your backup process when you enable our hot-backup mode. You get virtual machine–consistent backups (for fast, granular recovery) without affecting performance.

INCREASE PERFORMANCE

Increase performance and improve server utilization for your application workloads by eliminating interruptions caused by traditional backups and restores.

PROTECT MORE DATA

Get cost-effective disaster recovery with our remote data mirroring technology. You can protect more of your critical data by replicating your data stores to lower-cost secondary sites.

REDUCE COSTS

Eliminate the development and maintenance costs for customized backup scripts by using our automated policies.
