For over 21 years MTI have been assisting many companies all over Europe to correctly diagnose, design and deliver, end to end data centre infrastructure.
We understand that efficient and fast access to valuable information is critical to businesses. This is why we have partnered and certified with the three leading organisations in the datacentre; namely VMware, Cisco and EMC.
MTI will be giving INSIGHT to our virtual, unified datacentre/cloud alliance with our three strategic partners.
Datacentre consolidation issues are fast becoming the main concern for IT Directors; There is no doubting that data centres are now more efficient than they where just 5 years ago, this is due to the virtualisation of servers in the data centres that occurred in recent years. It is common that companies who embraced virtualisation in that period are now facing post consolidation issues. These issues are spread across their entire infrastructure. IT Directors now need to manage consolidated DR platforms, network infrastructure, virtualised backup & recovery plans and consolidated access to secure information storage. IT Directors have to be able to manage virtualisation everywhere in their datacentre. No longer is the issue just how to virtualise servers, it is how to manage the whole virtual datacentre.

Unfortunately IT Directors also understand that there is more consolidation to come if they are to meet the environmental guidelines and regulations that governments are implementing such as Carbon Reduction Commitment that comes into effect in the UK, April 2010. To meet these demanding regulations organisations need to ensure that all their computing is efficient and this includes the real estate of desktop computers they may have.
This is why corporations large and small are now turning to certified integrators such as MTI to assist with their virtualisation. IT Directors are now requesting increased support across their entire platform infrastructure right down to the desktop. One of the first things to do to is get the consolidated datacentre under control and managed a benefit of a well managed virtual datacentre is that the internal datacentre can now be accessed just like a service providers data centre would be and so this makes it easy to charge departments and users for usage (helping focus users on environmental concerns). To manage a datacentre well, clients need to assess their entire data centre infrastructure. The MTI services department provide health checks ranging from virtualisation, network, storage, even environmental and carbon reduction health checks to ensure data centres are managed and provisioned correctly.
To ensure quality of service in cross platform consolidation management MTI have become certified partners with three leading organisations in internal & external cloud computing; namely VMware, Cisco and EMC. In the company of these partner organisations MTI are currently providing a series of free to attend workshops increasingly popular private advisor meetings at our linked MTI/EMC solutions centres in both London and our new facility in Frankfurt for companies that are considering migrating towards cloud computing. At these events clients can gain insight in their requirements and get to look under the hood of virtualised data centres / internal or private clouds with a local company that has all the qualified expertise.
