Frontier offers end-to-end services that are designed to assist in the virtualization lifecycle and the key areas that must be addressed in order to move forward.

Virtualization Solution Stack

Plan & Design Virtual Data centers

The idea of moving to a virtual environment is to run more virtual workloads on fewer physical systems. There is constant pressure to maximize resource usage while simultaneously reducing management costs and maintaining a highly-available, secure environment. These are just a few of the challenges data-centre managers face every day. Frontier helps in virtualising the infrastructure layer, and also simplifies and automates IT tasks to help reduce management expenses and overall total cost of ownership.

Server Consolidation & Containment

As your business grows so does the IT infrastructure required to support its daily operations. The result of this is usually a widely distributed host of servers and storage devices. IT departments constantly face demands to deploy, maintain and grow a broad array of services and applications, but this has lead to server sprawl and high energy costs. Server consolidation & containment will help your organization gain control over your IT infrastructure sprawl and underutilization by reducing hardware and operating costs, to create a consolidated, yet flexible, IT infrastructure that can adapt to your changing business needs.

Virtual Lab Automation

In a test & development environment systems are usually configured based on the current active development project. Only when a team is actively developing and testing an application is the equipment needed. Given the “demand and slack periods” of development cycles, managing the systems and configurations can be a daunting task, and leads to either a proliferation in system configuration / reconfiguration, which leads to delays in scheduled project deliveries. Frontier can help you in not only automating tasks, but also in reduction in the number of systems required. With virtualized pool of resources, it enables faster and automated provisioning or servers, rapid reproduction of software defects, improved time to market responsiveness and a reduced TCO.

Business Continuity

Enterprises cannot survive without viable business continuity strategies, which must include means by which to provide both high available systems as well as disaster recovery mechanisms. Unfortunately, the cost of planning and implementing such strategies through traditional means are often expensive and complex. Frontier, through Virtualization provides you the means to eliminate planned downtime, delivery high availability and be better prepared for disaster recovery.

Desktop Management & Control

PCs today are complex stacks of multiple hardware components, operating systems, drivers & applications. Maintaining it has always been painful, but has gotten considerably nastier, thanks to an endless parade of upgrades and updates. Even with current network based installation and patch management tools to ease the burden, IT spends far too much time at the desktop itself, dealing with conflicts, mis-configured hardware, malware infections, and so on. Frontier solution to these problems is to centralize applications at the data centre to make them easier to provision and manage.

Virtual Data Centre Management

Do you have problems managing virtual server sprawl, not getting reports on VMs CPU utilization, unable to create resource pools, not sure on the health of the virtual environment, etc., Frontier can help you manage your Virtual environment by providing the tools and resources required to maintain your virtual data centre.
