Implementation

Virtualization

From the desktop to the data centre, Lantone’s virtualization specialists help our clients consolidate, cut costs and realize the business benefits of a more agile environment.

Virtualization is applied to optimize infrastructure for various scenarios:

  • Run multiple applications from a single server
  • Quickly provision an environment for test and development
  • Restore backups in minutes on Virtual Machines
  • Gain more control over the desktop and applications
  • Simplify the ICT estate from an IT management perspective
  • Turn the ICT estate into a cloud-ready environment

Our virtualization solutions significantly reduce the costs of operating a main database server. Clients can run their infrastructure on a single license instead of separate licenses on individual machines.

After deployment, our team thoroughly tests the new environment before it goes live. Following that, our engineers will transfer their skills to the client’s in-house team to let them run it or continue to keep it under our charge as a Managed Service.

Benefits of virtualization for your business

Improvement of ROI

Significant operational efficiencies are gained by adopting virtualization, due to platform capabilities (fewer incidents, less downtime, higher utilization), consolidation and green saves, as well as greater efficiency of IT staff (appreciably less rework, testing, and maintenance).

Resource Utilization

Single-instance server environments have embarrassingly low utilization rates. A 10 percent rate is considered nominal even under heavy workloads, which means 90 percent of your hardware investment sits idle most of the time. Virtualization allows you to use more of what you already have, pushing capital expenditures further into the future.

Facilitation of Corporate Management

Management can take advantage of the opportunities offered by the centralized server to facilitate easy tracking of information flows, quick configuration and dissemination of directives and commands to the whole organization.

Resource Allocation/Load Balancing

Virtual servers that are well-managed provide fluid resource pools that enable rapid response to varying workload requirements. This results in a reduction in operating costs and increased productivity, allowing organizations to focus on services that deliver business value.

Automation

The ability to automate many labor-intensive jobs of IT management, such as data mapping, mirroring and backup, is greatly improved because virtual resources now reside in the more ethereal software realm which is very fluid. Through a seamless automation platform, companies can execute faster provisioning of infrastructure or applications. This can save thousands in workflow costs and reduce the risk of errors.

More Uptime

Our virtualized systems are designed to be completely isolated from one another, operating the same way as if they are relying on separate hardware platforms. This gives the organization the option to conduct updating or servicing on individual systems without affecting others sharing the same platform, eliminating downtime during maintenance periods.

Disaster Recovery

A virtual environment can be up and running much faster than a physical one. As long as physical infrastructure is intact, provisioning and automation systems can have services restored within a matter of minutes. This improves recovery point objectives and lowers the overall cost of getting back on your feet.

Furthering Business Agility

Once virtualization has been introduced to the server farm, similar principles can be applied to the storage farm, I/O infrastructure and the desktop. The idea of creating many out of one promises to extend efficiency and boost performance across a wide range of systems, resulting in a leaner, meaner data center.

Moving to The Cloud

Once the organization has gone virtual within the data center, it is only a matter of time before they extend those capabilities to the outside world. Whether the organization opts for internal, external or hybrid cloud services, none of it is possible if they do not have the ability to virtualize their physical resources.

Cloud Infrastructure

The cloud is changing the way organizations approach their IT infrastructure, turning capital expenditure into an operational cost. As a cloud provider, Lantone Systems hosts servers and storage for clients who no longer have to buy hardware outright.

We know that many businesses want cloud benefits without having to abandon their IT investments. Others are looking to take the first tentative steps to align their infrastructure to the new delivery model.

Providing highly practical solutions for various IT resource challenges and requirements:

A cloud-ready environment

Our team can virtualize the client’s server estate to create a cloud-ready environment that cuts costs and makes the business more flexible while reducing the data centre footprint

Reduce hardware investment

For clients who want to avoid the continuous cycle of hardware investment, we host racks of rentable computer power and storage in our data centre, delivering all your IT needs from the cloud.

Automation

Our team deploys a suite of IT management tools that complement a cloud strategy. Being able to detect, diagnose, and correct problems while automating the most common management tasks, these tools allow a business to retain control and visibility of its infrastructure.

Dynamic scaling

If customers need more resources than expected, they can gain access to the resources almost immediately. Our team optimizes the environment so that the hardware, the operating system, and automation can support a huge number of workloads that may vary from time to time.

Business continuity

Virtual Desktops and Disaster Recovery solutions can be pre-packaged for consumption.

Seamless transition

Our infrastructure enables users to run complex, mission-critical, legacy applications, including SAP, Microsoft and many more with full cloud benefits, and without rewriting applications. We deliver service-level agreements for both application performance and availability. In addition, we provide a foundation for meeting national and industry-level security, compliance and auditing requirements.

Project Management

Why do IT projects fail?

The 3 most common reasons why IT projects fail are:

Lack of sufficient planning

The time the IT organization will take to create, test and implement the project deliverables and resources needed to be devoted are not realistically considered.

A rushed project timeline

Many organizations sped through development efforts and systems implementations in order to be first to market with new, IT-based products, services and capabilities. This increased the risk of a project failing due to inadequate planning, risk assessment and testing.

The project scope is too unwieldy

A large, complicated and cumbersome project has to be broken down into a series of smaller, more manageable projects. By failing to do so, large IT projects often cost much more than planned and can even put the whole organization in jeopardy when IT and business values do not align.

5 Phases in our Project Management Life Cycle

How can our Project Managers help?

Focused Strategic Goals

Through planning, monitoring and built-in controls, projects and programmes are managed with attention to every detail and subjected to ongoing reviews to ensure that timelines are met and milestones achieved. Risk is managed, quality maintained, and budgets adhered to.

Repeatable Success and Disciplined Professionalism

Our Project Managers get the job done, on time and in budget. We are continuously improving our methodologies and processes, adhering to best-practice standards and industry trends, skilling up to master new disciplines as they become available.
