“I am completely convinced that in a few short years, virtualisation will enable us to look back at traditional server management techniques in the same way we remember working in an office without email”

You will find many resources on this website that are unique to Castle and our expertise in virtualisation, including Case studies, information and a calculator which reflects our real life experience of implementing VMware in the UK.

We believe Virtualisation is just too important for your organisation to ignore!!

The rate of adoption of VMware and virtualisation technology is increasing year on year. A number of well respected analysts, including Forrester, Gartner, IDC and Goldman Sachs agree that as many as 50% of all servers which are shipped will utilise virtualisation, by 2010; and these estimates are currently being revised upwards.

Whether your organisation is in the private or public sector, VMware will give you an edge in reducing costs and delivering services. And one thing you can be sure of is that organisations in your sector have either already implemented VMware or are seriously considering it.

Who do you value most?

  • Shareholders
  • Stakeholders
  • Customers
  • Staff
  • Directors
  • Suppliers


We hope to show you via this website and the experiences of our customers how VMware is delivering value, not just to your IT department, but everyone to whom your organisation holds dear.

Consider for a moment the effect of the following on these people...

  • A significant reduction in power, maintenance and depreciation costs
  • A reduced Carbon footprint
  • Reduced need for expensive out of hours system maintenance
  • More floor space
  • A flood or a fire affecting your servers & back-ups
  • Loss of availability of your IT systems
  • Fast deployment of new servers

VMware delivers real measurable value with regard to each of the above. By exploring the pages of this website we hope that you too will come to the conclusion that Virtualisation is of real importance to your organisation.

Capacity Planning

Capacity Planning provides insight into IT resource utilisation and develops a virtualization roadmap for server containment and consolidation. A Castle VMware Capacity Planning Exercise can help you:

  • Assess your IT infrastructure as it currently stands with VMware's comprehensive set of performance measures
  • Plan your optimum capacity with analysis and benchmarks which detail your utilisation
  • Design a solution that fits your organisation by employing "what-if" analysis and scenario modelling
  • Continually check your utilisation of resources with threshold alerts and anomaly detection

Contact us for more informationIf you would like to take the next steps, then why not contact us about Capacity Planning or sign-up to see a VMware demonstration?  You can either attend one of our events or see a private viewing of our portable VMware demonstration unit at your offices.
