Other Services

We have the answer to your immediate needs

At Knowledgework, we’re focussed on helping you get more from your Information Technology (IT) investments.

In addition to the strategic services we offer we also help you implement new technologies. By laying a foundation of best practices, these new services will require minimal overhead costs. By using the principals of ITIL and business process design we make sure the technology management processes are installed in tandem with the technologies.

Virtualization

We will help you introduce server virtualization to your organization the right way. Our familiarity with VMware infrastructure and AIX Logical Partition (LPAR) technologies allows you to get up and running quickly. The benefits you will achieve by virtualizing your servers include:

• A smaller carbon footprint. Virtualization will cut your carbon footprint by more than half
• Significantly lower power and heat demands. Your power and heat requirements will be reduced by more than half, allowing you to extend the life of your costly data centre
• Better uptime. By using features such as VMotion and HA (high availability) you can ensure that if a physical server goes down, virtual server instances automatically move to another physical server. Even if a virtual server’s operating system fails it in can be automatically restarted.

Data Centre Design

We will help you build a new data centre or extend the life and capabilities of an existing one. Putting in additional power capacity, air conditioning, backup power, and cable management as needed are all ways you can extend the life of existing data centres when a new build-out is not an option. Combine this with virtualization and you will be able to absorb the technologies your business’ growth will demand and continue operations within the same footprint for many years to come.

Business Resilience (BR) and Disaster Recovery (DR) Capability

You need to have the assurance that in case of a disaster, such as a fire or widespread blackout, your business can continue functioning. We help you design BR strategies appropriate to the size and type of your business to make sure you can keep a portion or all of your IT functional should disaster strike. In many cases, having a working DR plan in place is a requirement of your corporate business interruption insurance.
