Now is the time for Virtualisation

Virtualisation is a trend which is increasingly growing in importance. With a greater pressure on IT departments to boost their green credentials and ever-spiraling energy costs - Virtualisation offers organisations the chance to significantly lower their operational costs.

Critically, it’s not only the bank manager or mother nature that benefits – there’s a whole host of slick efficiency improvements that could completely change the way in which your IT stack operates.

VMware has been the tool of choice for most Oracle shops wanting to go the virtualisation route over the past few years, but Oracle’s claims of three times the efficiency with their own product – Oracle VM - have certainly made IT directors all across the globe stand up and take notice.

New Teamsolve Support Packages Launched

Adding or reducing resource to your department quickly can be a serious headache for any head of department. Oracle DBAs with the necessary skill-set are hard enough to come by as it is – let alone those that are available for immediate start, in your local vicinity.

If you’re fortunate enough to find someone who meets your criteria, the chances are that the real cost implication to employ will be extremely hard to swallow.

Over the past few months, we've spent time developing and devising a series of New Support Packages that we believe offer incredible value for money when compared with hiring your own support Oracle DBAs.
