Virtualization Professional Services

Merit Network offers professional virtualization services to Members who want to accelerate their journey to a virtualization environment.

Virtualization is a proven software technology that is rapidly transforming the IT landscape and fundamentally changing the way that organizations compute. By "virtualizing" IT servers and desktops, an organization will significantly reduce hardware costs (servers, desktop computers), lower operational maintenance costs, decrease environmental impact, lower power consumption and reduce your organization's footprint.

Accelerate the deployment of your VMware vSphere virtual infrastructure and mitigate risk by leveraging experienced consultants and field proven best practices. Merit offers outcome based service packages that include VMware software implementation, hands-on training and knowledge transfer by VMware certified professionals.
