Server OS Migration

Our consulting and Professional Services Groups have a very diverse set of skills in client and server operating systems.  Our diversity and deep knowledge gives us the clear advantage to properly and reliably migrate operating systems and services from one platform to another.  KIS has a very successful history of migrating small and large enterprises from larger physical server solutions with local storage to a much more efficient and “green” solution based on virtualization technologies paired with reliable and scalable storage.  This focus provides our clients the ability to reduce costs by minimizing power, air conditioning, space, and support costs without sacrificing scalability, reliability, redundancy, fault-tolerance, and many other concerns.  In fact, this approach will provide a much easier capability to plan for and implement disaster recovery and business continuance solutions.

KIS focuses on newer technologies to perform OS Migrations.  As we focus on our current solutions, KIS is continually working to find more efficient and better products and solutions to improve our client’s IT environments.  From our long standing relationships with server and storage hardware vendors to our diverse yet close relationships with software vendors, KIS can provide any level of support to small business and very large enterprise clients.  Our relationship with the vendors who we select to work with has provided a direct path to vendor support for our client’s and the projects we engage with them.  KIS also has a great level of commitment with our chosen vendors that provides pricing and support benefits that we use to assist our clients with cost savings.
