Unlike many hosting providers, Vigilant offers an ESX solution, customzed to meet your specific needs at a cost effective price. Vigilant has been working with VMware since 2003, beta testing ESX 2 and 3, and developed an extensive knowledgebase of best practices. We have pioneered bullet proof P2V (conversion of physical to virtual machines) concepts, and have provided in-house and hosted ESX solutions to large government and private organizations for years.
Our Hosted ESX solutions typically run on IBM Bladecenter Blades (see articles on why Bladecenter) and FC or IP SANs, which provides a cost effective Virtualization enviroment. Some benefits of a Vigilant hosting solution are;
- Are typically 30%-80% more cost effective then an inhouse solution
- Ability to replicate your virtual machine anywhere (see our low cost dister recovery solutions)
- Provide version and upgrade protection
- VDI integration
- A full lab area for testing
Service Level Agreements are available to provide guaranteed CPU and Memory to your environment. If you have existing systems that you would like to move into a virtual environment at a data center, we provide the service to convert these systems using P->V technology, and if you decide to revert back to physical machines, V->P technology. If you need to start with a basic OS installation with or without specific applications, we can build your virtual machine for you as well as manage it.
