Virtualization results in cost savings and increased efficiency. Its becoming a key part of most CIO's agenda around the world. With proven track records in helping many big organizations to implement virtualization solutions, IT Channel provides end-to-end virtualization services with the virtualization technologies from Citrix, F5 Acopia, Redhat, and VMware.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 is the first product to deliver commercial quality open source virtualization. Red Hat Enterprise Linux Advanced Platform includes fully integrated server and storage virtualization, coupled with high availability clustering capabilities based on Red Hat Global File System and Red Hat Cluster Suite products. This robust environment supports servers of any size and an unlimited number of virtualized guest environments. Red Hat Enterprise Linux server subscriptions provide support for up to four virtualized guest environments.

Multi-OS desktops Using the Multi-OS option, a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 Desktop client system can be enhanced to provide support for up to four virtualized guest environments.

Award-winning F5 Acopia® intelligent file virtualization solutions address many of the problems associated with managing today's rapidly expanding file storage infrastructure. Key applications include:

Non-disruptive Data Migration:
F5 Acopia solutions automate the movement of files between heterogeneous storage devices without affecting access and without requiring client reconfiguration. Enterprises can perform seamless hardware & software upgrades on file storage platforms, server consolidation, even vendor switches, all during business hours.

Automated Storage Tiering:
F5 Acopia solutions automate the movement of data between tiers of storage, and the placement of data on appropriate tiers of storage, irrespective of platform or vendor. Organizations can lower the cost of storage and shrink backup and recovery windows by automatically placing data on appropriate storage devices without affecting access to the data.

Dynamic Load Balancing:
F5 Acopia solutions dynamically distribute application workload across multiple file storage devices, eliminating "hotspots" or bottlenecks. Companies can improve application performance and increase productivity using the infrastructure that is already in place.

Efficient Data Replication:
F5 Acopiasolutions provide the ability to replicate files between heterogeneous storage platforms for efficient and cost effective disaster recovery and centralized backup applications.

Citrix offers the broadest and best virtualization for application delivery, enabling IT to control applications, desktops and the server infrastructure that supports them from the datacenter.

Application Virtualization:
with XenApp - is the industrys de facto standard for delivering Windows-based applications using state-of-the-art client and server side application virtualization to deliver applications to office and mobile workers from a secure centralized location.

Desktop Virtualization:
with XenDesktop - is the industrys first comprehensive Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) system delivering desktops on-demand while dramatically simplifying lifecycle management, enabling stronger data protection and control, and reducing desktop cost of ownership by up to 40%.

Server Virtualization :
with XenServer is the simplest and most effective way to virtualize servers and deliver server workloads on-demand to both virtual and physical servers enabling a truly dynamic datacenter.
