Data Electronics, Ireland's leading providers of IT outsourcing and Managed Services has announced it is the first hosting services provider in Ireland to receive VMware certification. 

This certification enables Data Electronics to join the VMware Service Provider Programme with expert capability to provide Irish customers with the benefits of virtualisation through a hosting model.
 
The benefit of using a Certified VMware Hosted Data Centre focuses primarily on the capability to eliminate server sprawl by converting physical machines into fully functional virtual machines. This, in effect, radically increases the overall efficiency of hardware, reducing space requirement and maintenance, while increasing overall performance and reliability, with guaranteed business continuity.  Virtualisation also allows companies to massively consolidate separate incidences of Windows, Unix or Linux. 

VMware is the market leader in virtualisation platform solutions, one of the fastest growing technologies in the Enterprise arena.
 
Commenting on the announcement, Maurice Mortell, CEO of Data Electronics, said “We are delighted to be the first hosting services provider in Ireland to achieve such an important certification.  As one of the fastest growing technologies in the enterprise arena, VMware will allow us to provide our customers with services and solutions that encompass every facet of today’s IT infrastructure”.
