Delivering Real Results with Virtualisation
Capgemini helps its clients realise the business benefits of separating IT hardware from the services it supports through virtualisation. We have used our expertise to help an electronics giant benefit from reduced IT costs and increased flexibility. We also helped a large media firm to virtualise 90% of the applications running on its servers, removing over two thirds of machines.
Offer and Key Benefits
Virtualisation: A Foundation of Cloud
IT-as-a-Service reduces costs and provides self-managed virtual infrastructure without compromising control. Virtualization is the first step in the transformation towards IT-as-a-Service, laying the foundation for cloud computing through an agile and efficient infrastructure.
Virtualisation is applicable across the desktop, storage, server, network and applications environments. By providing a more efficient way for the business to access IT-as-a-Service, virtualisation enables organisations to rapidly respond to challenges and opportunities in their marketplace.
Capgemini has developed services for clients at all stages of the virtualisation journey:
- Virtualisation to Business: Capgemini’s business-centric approach combined with VMware’s proven virtualisation technologies
- Infrastructure-as-a-Service: cloud-based managed services that deliver compute and storage capacity to thousands of end users
- Intelligent Workplace: a comprehensive approach to end-user services, leveraging Desktop-as-a-Service platforms and facilitating bring-your-own-device approaches
