Red Hat Premier Business Partner: Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Quickstart

Virtualization without Infrastructure Interruptions

Red Hat and Mainline Information Systems® offer comprehensive solutions for businesses who wish to trade in expensive, complex, mixed-vendor architectures for unified open source architecture. Red Hat is the clear leader in open source solutions for the enterprise. Mainline is Red Hat's 2009 Partner of the Year and is a comprehensive technology solutions provider, with offerings that encompass servers, storage, software, applications solutions, services, and financing. Mainline, in addition to managing the sales relationship, provides installation, implementation, and configuration services for Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Servers.

A Red Hat® Enterprise Virtualization Quickstart from Mainline is a fast installation of the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization platform, aided and optimized by a consultant. This engagement gives your organization the configuration expertise, high-level support and knowledge transfer to rapidly add virtualization technologies to your environment. It leverages the deep product knowledge and experience of Red Hat consultants to mitigate deployment and risks.

In this engagement, a Red Hat consultant will install Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization, focusing on initial configuration, with options for deploying virtual servers and desktops. A demonstration setup of virtual machines will help your staff develop the skills needed to manage ongoing virtualization-related tasks.

Our Quickstart offering is an optimal introduction to Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization technologies. An experienced consultant will help you:

  • Install and configure Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager for servers and/or desktops, and two Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization hypervisor hosts
  • Install supported virtual machines into the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization environment for demonstration purposes
  • Document the setup and fully prepare your IT staff with the knowledge to manage virtualization tasks independently after the engagement
  • Leverage, learn and implement best practices from a broader customer community

The Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager workshop from Mainline includes:

  • A virtualization environment capable of hosting your mission-critical server workload and/or virtual desktop infrastructure
  • Deployment of Windows or Linux servers and desktops to the virtualization infrastructure
  • Knowledge transfer and documentation
