Virtualization

A strategy to simplify & reduce costs

Virtualization is the abstraction of computing resources across physical hardware, and is gaining rapid adoption in the marketplace, as organizations seek to expand capabilities while controlling complexity & costs. There are many virtualization products available, which complicates the process of developing a virtualization plan, but North American Systems International has the technical and industry know-how that can help you design a solution that best enables you to maximize control and manage costs.

“Virtualization decouples the application from the underlying hardware and allows customers to create service-oriented infrastructure whereby they can begin to manage services and employ policy-based automation to manage and deliver the underlying infrastructure.”
- John Humphreys, Analyst, IDC Research

Consolidate

Virtualization allows a single physical server to be divided into multiple “vitual servers” which can handle multiple workloads & applications simultaneously. Reducing the amount of physical servers simplifies your architecture by providing an architecture that can support various applications & operating systems. This strategy saves costs by reducing redundant hardware components while minimizing maintenance, power & cooling requirements.

Simplify

Minimizing the number of physical systems reduces complexity, enabling administrative staff to centrally manage & provision computing power. With a top-down view of resource utilization, staff can proactively approach potential issues before they become problems, and enact policies and procedures to monitor, anticipate and prevent administrative nightmares.

Maximize Availability

By being able to manage multiple workloads on a single physical system, organizations can afford to invest in high quality hardware that includes enterprise RAS (reliability, availability, serviceability) features. In addition, virtualization can figure prominently into your business continuity & resiliency planning by greatly simplifying the tasks of performing remote replication for disaster recovery scenarios, or having a mirrored failover system available for high availability requirements.

Gain Flexibility & Agility

Rapidly plan, test and deploy new applications with virtualization technology. A physical system split into multiple virtual machines allows new solutions to be developed and staged prior to implementation. In addition, by breaking down physical walls and allowing infrastructure to be managed logically, you can dynamically allocate computing resources, and align IT with business requirements.

Workshop IBM BladeCenter S @ Landmark Building

IBM BladeCenter S

The BladeCenter S doesn’t sacrifice flexibility in this chassis. It supports Windows, AIX and Linux applications and provides choice with Intel® or AMD Opteron™ processor-based blade servers. Reliability isn’t sacrificed either, with reliability features such as Predictive Failure Analysis®, as well as redundant and hot-swappable power supplies and switch modules.

Integrate servers, storage, networking & I/O in a single chassis that can run on a single, standard 100V power outlet. Other features include:

• the ability to reduce cables by up to 80%
• chassis can be rack-optimized, 7U form factor
• 6 blade server bays
• up to 3.6TB SAS disk or 9TB SATA, or a mix of both
• hot-swappable, redundant switch modules support SAS, Gigabit Ethernet, Fibre Channel, and iSCSI
• up to 4 x hot-swappable, redundant and load balancing power supplies
• high-availability midplane with fault-tolerant connections to all modular components for easy upgrades without disruption

Reducing Power Consumption Costs with the BladeCenter S

The BladeCenter S helps your IT infrastructure “ go green” by reducing power consumption, and therefore save money on energy costs. IBM’s unique Cool Blue™ technology enables you to save 25% – 36% in overall energy costs compared to comparable traditional rack & tower systems.

The IBM BladeCenter S also includes many other tools that help in planning, managing and controlling power & cooling costs, such as Calibrated Vectored Cooling™ which also helps protect components against failure to minimize downtime.

 

Jadi Matahari part.trhee

Pria merenung sendiri dan menatap matahari.

Saat wanita jadi bunga, pria ingin menjadi matahari agar bunga dapat
terus hidup. Matahari akan memberikan semua sinarnya untuk bunga
agar ia tumbuh, berkembang dan terus hidup sebagai bunga yang
cantik.

Walau matahari tahu ia hanya dapat memandang dari jauh dan
pada akhirnya kupu kupu yang akan menari bersama bunga. Ini disebut
kasih yaitu memberi tanpa pamrih.

Saat wanita jadi bulan, pria tetap menjadi matahari agar bulan dapat
terus bersinar indah dan dikagumi.
Cahaya bulan yang indah hanyalah pantulan cahaya matahari, tetapi
saat semua makhluk mengagumi bulan siapakah yang ingat kepada
matahari.

Matahari rela memberikan cahaya nya untuk bulan walaupun
ia sendiri tidak bisa menikmati cahaya bulan, dilupakan jasanya dan
kehilangan kemuliaan nya sebagai pemberi cahaya agar bulan
mendapatkan kemuliaan tersebut. Ini disebut dengan Pengorbanan,
menyakitkan namun sangat layak untuk cinta.

Saat wanita jadi Phoenix yang dapat terbang tinggi jauh ke langit
bahkan di atas matahari, pria tetap selalu jadi matahari agar
Phoenix bebas untuk pergi kapan pun ia mau dan matahari tidak akan
mencegahnya.
Matahari rela melepaskan phoenix untuk pergi jauh, namun matahari
akan selalu menyimpan cinta yang membara di dalam hatinya hanya
untuk phoenix.
Matahari selalu ada untuk Phoenix kapan pun ia mau kembali walau
phoenix tidak selalu ada untuk matahari. Tidak akan ada makhluk lain
selain Phoenix yang bisa masuk ke dalam matahari dan mendapatkan
cinta nya. Ini disebut dengan Kesetiaan, walaupun ditinggal pergi
dan dikhianati namun tetap menanti dan mau memaafkan.

Pria tidak pernah menyesal menjadi matahari bagi wanita.

 

Jadi Matahari part.two

Wanita tersenyum pahit dan kecewa. Wanita sudah berubah 3x namun
pria tetap keras kepala ingin jadi matahari tanpa mau ikut berubah
bersama wanita. Maka wanita pun pergi dan tak pernah lagi kembali
tanpa pernah tahu alasan kenapa pria tetap menjadi matahari.

 

Jadi Matahari part.one

Seorang wanita bertanya pada seorang pria tentang cinta dan harapan.

Wanita berkata ingin menjadi bunga terindah di dunia dan pria
berkata ingin menjadi matahari.

Wanita tidak mengerti kenapa pria ingin jadi matahari, bukan kupu
kupu atau kumbang yang bisa terus menemani bunga.

Wanita berkata ingin menjadi rembulan dan pria berkata ingin tetap
menjadi matahari. Wanita semakin bingung karena matahari dan bulan
tidak bisa bertemu, tetapi pria ingin tetap jadi matahari.

Wanita berkata ingin menjadi Phoenix yang bisa terbang ke langit
jauh di atas matahari dan pria berkata ia akan selalu menjadi
matahari.
