Unisys Virtualization Decision Framework – Do Virtualization Right!

Virtualization offers the promise of reduced costs, less complexity and improved end-user service levels.  As such, the number of related technology announcements and vendor claims are rapid and relentless.  However, in these challenging economic times, most IT organization’s are managing reduced budgets and finding it increasingly difficult to properly analyze the many virtualization choices and apply them to their environment.

Unisys Virtualization Decision Framework builds on Unisys strong foundation of expertise and best practices in virtualization and enterprise computing to assist clients with critical decisions to “do virtualization right” so that you can realize the virtualization promises that are so important to servicing your clients and meeting your business objectives.

The Unisys Virtualization Decision Framework answers such important questions as:

• What are virtualization best practices?
• Which virtualization architecture is best for my environment – scale-up or scale-out?
• Which virtualization software is best for me – VMware vSphere, Microsoft Hyper-V, or Citrix Xen?

Most importantly, Unisys can apply these concepts to your specific environment.
