TSL is VMWare's enterprise partner for the Caribbean. The TSL business development team has distanced itself from other VMWare software vendors in the Caribbean by quickly taking a leadership role in the field of virtualization througout the islands.

Virtualization Overview

Virtualization is changing the computing landscape. Learn how virtualization can help you save time and money while achieving more with the computer resources you already own.

Reduce IT Costs While Improving Flexibility & Responsiveness

Don’t let server sprawl and platform dependencies prevent your organization from achieving its goals. Take control of your IT infrastructure and help it reach its full potential by using virtual infrastructure solutions from VMware to:

• Reduce hardware and operating costs by as much as 50%
• Reduce the time it takes to provision new servers by up to 70%
• Save more than $3,000 per year for every server workload virtualized

Consolidate Excess Hardware & Increase Server Utilization

VMware is the recognized expert in virtualization technology solutions and offers the most robust software suite in the industry for server consolidation – VMware Infrastructure 3. By consolidating your server hardware with VMware Infrastructure 3, your organization can:

• Increase utilization of existing hardware from 10-15% up to 80%
• Reduce hardware requirements by a 10:1 ratio or better

Our Professional Services team can help you assess your IT environment to identify consolidation candidates and to calculate the potential savings from using virtualization.

Optimize Your Development and Test Lab Infrastructure

Streamline development and test lab infrastructure and operations through Virtual Lab Automation. With VMware Lab Manager, VMware’s Virtual Lab Automation system, IT can leverage VMware Infrastructure to achieve significant cost savings and operational benefits by pooling servers, networking, storage and other resources that can be shared across development and test teams. Provision complex multi-machine configurations in seconds, rather than days. Provide on-demand access to a shared library of complex system environments, giving your developers and testers instant use of the resources they need, while leaving IT in administrative control.

Capture and Reproduce Software Defects—Every Time

Enable developers and testers to quickly reproduce software defects and resolve them earlier in the software lifecycle—and ensure higher quality software and systems. VMware Lab Manager enables “closed loop” defect reporting and resolution through its unique ability to “snapshot” complex multi-machine configurations in an error state, capture them to the library, and make them available for sharing—and troubleshooting—across development and test teams.

Integrate with Leading Test Management Tools

Enable users to access VMware Lab Manager seamlessly from within their preferred test management tools. Off-the-shelf integrations with Borland SilkCentral Test Manager and HP Quality Center allow users simply to select the desired multi-tier configuration and Lab Manager will do the rest — automatically provision the test environment, tear down the environment after a test is run, and capture the state of the application, test date and virtual machine configuration in the event of a failed test.

Change the Way You Manage the Lab

By automating the development and test lab with VMware Lab Manager, you can cut capital and operating costs even while enabling the AD team to accelerate and improve their development and test processes. Automate low-level, time-consuming tasks so you can focus your IT staff on higher value activities.

Keep Your Business Running Non-Stop

Can your business afford any disruption of IT services? Thousands of data centers experience significant services interruptions every year, at the cost of lost business revenue and lost data—or worse. And while disasters and unplanned downtime get the big headlines, planned downtime for hardware maintenance and backups is the cause of the majority of service downtime. Read our white papers on business continuity to learn more.

Achieve Better Data Protection, High Availability, and Disaster Recovery

Business continuity has become a vital ingredient of IT strategies in a world where businesses need to operate 24 hours a day. The disruption of IT services can be fatal to a business.  VMware’s virtualization products give you the means to eliminate planned downtime, deliver high availability, and be better prepared for disaster recovery. Virtualize your data center and make it easier to build solutions for the following:

• Data protection, including non-disruptive backup and restore processes
• High availabilitythrough reduced planned and unplanned downtime
• Disaster recovery with hardware independent recovery

Ensure Rapid Recovery from Outages

VMware software makes possible rapid and automated restart and failover without the cost or complexity of solutions used with physical infrastructure. Virtual machines are hardware-independent and can share physical resources, thus failover can be implemented without requiring dedicated, identical standby hardware and the added complexity of maintaining identical configurations.

For server failures, VMware High Availability (HA)—a component of VMware Infrastructure 3—ensures rapid, automated restart of virtual machines. VMware HA automatically and intelligently restarts affected virtual machines on other production servers. As a part of virtual infrastructure, VMware HA can be easily configured for a server without dependencies on operating system, applications, or physical hardware.

Customers can also use third-party clustering software in virtual environments by clustering virtual machines with other virtual machines or clustering physical machines with other physical machines. VMware software makes it possible to implement clustering without requiring the cost of identical servers, without the complexity of rebuilding clustering when physical hardware changes, and without the difficulty associated with testing clustering of physical systems.
