1 Cutting the Cost & Complexity of Computer Administration Beth Kercado District Technology Coordinator Milltown Public Schools

2 Technologies that Cut Costs & Simplify Administration Storage Virtualization – The process that conserves storage space by consolidating storage fragments located on multiple storage devices into a single, virtualized storage pool. Server Virtualization – The process that conserves server space by dividing a physical server into multiple virtual servers, or virtual machines. Desktop Virtualization – The process that enables users to access their office PCs anywhere, anytime.

3 Storage Virtualization Cutting Costs Improves storage utilization Reduces storage spend Simplifying Admin Reduces frequency of defragmentation and other data “clean-up” exercises Decreases data backup time.

4 Server Virtualization Cutting Costs Improves storage utilization Decreases server “footprint” Lowers power utilization Reduces server spend Simplifying Admin Creates hardware independence Provides for faster provisioning Enables disaster recovery

5 Desktop Virtualization Cutting Costs Permits concurrent licensing Leverages old PCs as thin clients Simplifying Admin Provides for faster provisioning Reduces H/W & S/W compatibility problems Enables better desktop performance Yields fewer Help Desk calls

6 Virtual Toolbox Thin Client PC Open Source Software Virtual Appliance

7 Thin Client PC Cutting Costs Longer life Lower energy consumption Small footprint Simplifying Admin One-time-only configuration Central maintenance Limited patching Ready recovery from viruses and other malware

8 Open Source Software Cutting Costs Free software Free or low-cost support Simplifying Admin Interoperable with other open source and proprietary software No compulsory upgrades Can be tailored to customer taste

9 Virtual Appliance Virtual Proxy Server Virtual VPN Server Virus Scanning Server Virtual Moodle Server/Online Classroom
