Reference Case of Microsoft Exchange 2007 deployment:
Intercontinental Development & Services Limited is a leader in the provision of high-quality film & video and interactive with professional repair and maintenance services. Its main headquarters team in Hong Kong uses email to communicate with colleagues and with customers in Hong Kong, China, the US, and Europe. Unfortunately, the instability of Intercontinental 's Linux-based email server was impacting business performance.
"Reliable email communications are critical for today's businesses. Lost email disrupts operations, diminishes customer relationships and employee morale, and leads to missed opportunities. An unstable email system is just not enterprise-ready," says Ken, Assistant IT Manager, Intercontinental Development & Services Limited. His experienced team was already running a Linux platform when it deployed Fedora Linux and Sendmail six years ago. But even this familiarity was not enough to prevent the mail system crashing two or three times a week, with significant email losses of around 10%.
Says Ken: "We needed to replace our previous system with a robust messaging platform that would improve our communication and collaboration abilities. For stability, functionality, and investment protection, no solution could beat Microsoft Exchange Server 2007."

Why Virtualization?
Nowadays Virtualization is a revolutionary technology that is dramatically changing the computing landscape. Although large enterprises were generally the first to jump on the virtualization bandwagon, virtualization is an amazingly versatile, surprisingly affordable technology to IT organizations of all sizes including SME and the benefits are tremendous and instant.
If you are frustrated by low server utilization levels, lack of space to expand your infrastructure, limited budget to buy new hardware, no resources to deploy new hardware, lack of backup/restore capabilities, grappling with out-of-control power and cooling expenses, Virtualization is the right solution to answer all these very common, yet frustrating, IT challenges.
Virtualization can help companies of all sizes to vastly increase server utilization levels, delay or avoid hardware purchases, and expand infrastructure capacity without increasing physical space requirements, makes hardware deployment easier, helps to bring power and cooling expenses under control, and provides backup and restore capabilities to ensure business continuity.
Benefit of Virtualization:
Dramatically cutting costs – By reducing to 1/10th the number of physical servers, you will not only reduce your hardware and labor costs, but also save associated power, cooling and space costs. It's good for the environment and your budget.
Reducing Deployment time – Manual configurations are a thing of the past. Deploy a new virtual machine in minutes – a 50% to 70% reduction on average.
Allocating resources in a few clicks – Automatically manage the dynamic distribution of resources, assign processor power as needed and live migrate virtual machines from one physical host to another with no downtime – all without the end-user ever realizing a thing has changed.
Virtualization helps our clients reduce capital and operational costs
By reducing the number of servers you use, you can dramatically reduce your hardware acquisition and server management costs. Plus, since you'll also be using less power, less cooling, and less space, those costs are likely to drop as well. The savings that result from virtualizing your infrastructure generally fall into two categories - capital cost savings and operational cost savings.
Capital savings come in the form of reduced hardware acquisition and data center real estate costs.
•Moving to a virtual environment reduces the number of physical servers necessary to support your infrastructure.
•An ancillary benefit is the possible redeployment of some existing infrastructure as part of a disaster recovery solution.
•Virtualization helps you avoid the cost of data center expansions.
System integration
For many organizations, various functional departments are most closely integrated with the desktop productivity tools, such as email, word processing, instant messaging and collaborative systems. However, the infrastructure required to support this level of integration in a stable and secure way is more complex. Our Professional Services Specialist are having the competencies in areas of infrastructure, system and data consolidation across the major business application platforms to ensure the stability and reliability during and after implementation.
Our competencies:
System / Application Upgrade, Setup Contingency Policy
Access Infrastructures Solution Design Implementation
End-to-end IT Solutions, System Design, Planning, Implementation and System Assurance
Domain Upgrade and Migration
Network & Security
Networking infrastructure is the core and most critical layer to affect the company overall system operation. We have proven expertise and experience across hundreds of Networking & Security Solution. Our consultants can discuss and advise on requirements, planning, implementing, testing & operating, as well as continual improvement.
IT Security protects the corporate data asset from being attacked, damaged & lost. The majority of IT security products such as firewall, anti-virus, intrusion detection systems & content filtering tools make an important contribution to IT security. Our consultants help customers to centralize and coordinate their IT security solutions for constantly updated and reconfigured to both support business requirements and prevent the latest threats.
