EASLEY, SC – (MARKET WIRE) – July 07, 2009 – CSI Technology Outfitters (Computer Software Innovations, Inc.) (OTC BB:CSWI.OB) announced today that it has earned multiple employee certifications for virtualization infrastructure solutions within its field sales, technical sales, and engineering departments. CSI’s virtualization solutions include products from Microsoft, HP, Dell, and VMware (EMC). “The most exciting aspect of this accomplishment is the benefits CSI will deliver to our education and local government customers,” said Bill Buchanan, CSI Senior Vice President of Delivery & Support. “Virtualization maximizes resource utilization,” continued Buchanan. “Think about it this way…what if at home you bought and maintained a separate refrigerator for each type of food and drink. You’d have one for milk, one for juice, one for meats, and so on. That’s exactly what organizations have been doing with their network servers. They’ve been using one server for their email application, one for their accounting application, and then further splintering their server environment by operating systems. Servers are very powerful machines, so in a splintered environment each server runs at only 5 percent to 15 percent utilization. Virtualization allows organizations to create multiple “virtual” servers to run many separate operating systems and applications “virtually” on a single physical server. With this technology, applications that previously ran on multiple servers can be consolidated to run on a single server, reducing hardware costs.”
“There are also benefits at the user device level. Virtualization enables IT to run virtual desktops in the datacenter and then deliver desktop application functionality to end user devices remotely. New applications and updates are deployed virtually which eliminates the time-consuming and costly task of physically managing applications on each user device,” concluded Buchanan.
By reducing the number of servers, organizations not only reduce hardware and administrative costs, but also reduce energy costs. “Our customers are definitely realizing the cost savings”, said Keone Trask, VP of Technology Sales at CSI. “We’re in the final stages of a project at a southeast school district where virtualization will enable us to reduce the total number of servers from fifteen to five. Our average virtualization project is in the $60,000 range and with the infrastructure, space, energy and labor savings, virtualization produces a strong ROI for our customers.”
