Virtualization

Lincoln knows that in today’s business world, flexibility and scalability, not only of systems but the environment on which your specialized industry applications and productivity applications run, is critical to your growth. We respond to this by helping you create a resource-rich, secure, multi-platform IT milieu on which you deliver information through the use of Virtual Machines.

Virtualization, the abstraction layer that separates operating systems from hardware, lets you utilize a wider array of technologies in your data center to enhance the performance of your critical business applications. With virtualization extended to a Virtual Machine, wherein performance is optimized by drawing efficiently upon heterogeneous IT resources, you are also able to implement and manage applications and model data in ways that transcend operating systems. This creates the ideal level of flexibility in the delivery of applications, built in all development frameworks, across Microsoft, Linux, other UNIX, Solaris, the MacOS and open source systems.

Lincoln’ Virtualization solutions encompass a modular hardware and software environment that draws upon the shared pool of resources enabled through server, storage and network virtualization. With our strategic partners for IT hardware, networking, applications, management software and physical infrastructure (including cooling, power and cabling), we utilize Virtual Machines to dynamically allocate information resources across business processes, which dramatically reduces your computing costs. We also introduce such technologies as blade servers, networked storage and virtual backup that, if you choose to implement into your newly virtualized environment, give you increased economies of scale, security, recoverability and performance.

Key Partners:

• VMware, Citrix, HP, IBM, Dell, Microsoft
