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

  4. 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 Server Virtualization

  5. 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 Desktop Virtualization

  6. Virtual Toolbox • Thin Client PC • Open Source Software • Virtual Appliance

  7. 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 Thin Client PC

  8. 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 Open Source Software

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