All Virtual, All The Time

From day one in business, Black Warrior Technology’s own systems have run as a virtualized core.

As an early one year anniversary present, the robot horde’s making preparations to move BWT’s virtual core on up to a real piece of underlying hardware.

And might I say, the hardware we chose is sweet sweet candy.

Mmmm...why are ML350s so magically delicious?

Check this out…

  • 3 GB of RAM
  • 2.0 Ghz Quad-core Xeon
  • 146 GB RAID5 SAS
  • DVD-RW
  • GigE

With plenty of room to add RAM, drives, and an additional processor

Better yet…

No cut hands!

But what really put the value in this upgrade?

The planning and foresight that went into a move to virtual in the first place, so many many moons ago.

Once the running configuration is divorced from physical hardware…

Sky = Limit

Which is an important important thing for you to think about for your customers. That’s one of those technical decisions that isn’t really a technical decision…it’s a business decision.
