Nebulas claims demo first

VAR demonstrates how a virtual infrastructure can automatically handle peaks and troughs in demand

Garlick: Customers are keen to get more from their IT infrastructure

Nebulas Solutions Group claims it is the first UK reseller to showcase automatic provisioning for virtual servers.

The demonstration, which combines virtual technologies with F5 Networks’ application delivery offering, forms part of the VAR’s Demo Lab at its London headquarters.

Nebulas will show customers how a virtual infrastructure can automatically handle peaks and troughs in demand.

The VAR said it is already taking two bookings a week and Nebulas managing director Nick Garlick is convinced the combination will strike a chord with recession-hit customers.

“We’re operating in very difficult times and customers are very keen to get more from their IT infrastructure than ever before,” he said.

“Virtual machines already offer cost savings, but by adding this level of automatic provisioning, systems can become far more responsive to the demands of the business.”

Owen Cole, F5’s technical director for UK and Ireland, added: “Being able to walk customers through this is invaluable, especially in the current climate, as it clearly demonstrates ROI, ahead of an investment decision.”
