Virtual Environments
An application upgrade, if managed poorly, can bring about major business disruption. With most businesses focused on driving down the unit of cost of their services and products, unplanned outages and downtime related to system changes can not be tolerated. It is imperative therefore, that when planning a system upgrade or change, that the change be tested thoroughly on a platform that closely mirrors the production environment.
TransAction Solutions provisions virtual platforms to support the often aggressive change programmes of businesses. It provides centralised servers, storage, network infrastructure within a fully equipped data centre with dedicated provisioning staff. Multiple environments can be made available simultaneously for as long as required.
An established rapid deployment model and multi-machine software configurations means environments can be built, preserved or brought down with no fixed investment and no business impact. More importantly, configurations can easily be moved between environments i.e. between development and test machines.
TransAction Solutions is consistently investing in new infrastructure and today can provision virtual platforms across:
- IBM p-series, i-series, x-series
- HP wintel
- IBM Blades & SAN
- AIX, i5os, Linux, Windows, Universe, Oracle, Citrix
