Conclusion
Appliances have, without a doubt, made an important impact into how organizations manage their application pools. They have allowed administrators to migrate from a strategy of one large server in the corner, to multiple servers. One for each application. Monolithic servers have gone the same way as monolithic computers. Today, in a networked environment, interconnectivity is the essential ingredient. The systems are distributed based on load and based on geography.
Virtual servers bring this type of distributed computing to a new height. The ability to move applications between servers, either those co-located in head office or in the data centre, or those distributed throughout the branch offices, has become a key business requirement. With disaster recovery preying on the peaceful sleep of most business executives, the ability to quickly redeploy an application moments after its host server has failed solves many critical business issues.
Unquestionably, the new frontier of application deployment is that of the virtual server, where the physical hardware no longer sets the pace. Instead, the virtual machine provides a pliable, portable environment for all kinds of applications in all kinds of locations.
Customer testimonials
“We moved to WebTitan 6 months ago which saved us 50% in license fees. Our business was delighted about the saving, and as an Administrator I knew that I would enjoy the same flexibility, scalability and stability that we experience with SpamTitan. We enjoy the fact that WebTitan runs on a lightweight OS base. We require no OS license (Windows) like we did with previous solutions. The additional virus protection built into WebTitan is a great feature not available in competitor products. The native LDAP support is great – we can integrate into Active Directory and Novell Directory Services. I believe that we added value to our organization by replacing our existing solution with WebTitan at 50% of the cost.”
