Teneo partners with Veloxum for first VMware platform optimisation in UK

Veloxum’s Active Continuous Optimisation (ACO) solution helps VMware users by automatically optimising VMware platforms to increase efficiency up to 50%.

Teneo, a leading infrastructure optimisation specialist, has announced a partnership with Veloxum, a global infrastructure utilisation solutions vendor. Veloxum’s ACO offering enables VMware platform users to analyse and optimise all elements of their platform including the server capacity, networking, physical storage and interaction with clients.

Many organisations have invested heavily in virtualisation projects in order to achieve the cost savings presented to them as part of an ROI model. But without continuous tuning of server platforms to the applications they are running, it is difficult to achieve these results.

Veloxum’s offering can be viewed as a server specialist “in a box”, actively and continuously tuning server settings to deliver the optimum performance. It can take up to 3 days for an engineer to tune a server so this does not scale to the large enterprise. Veloxum can undertake this same tuning in 3 minutes, straight out of the box.

Once analysis of a server is complete, Veloxum ACO uses patent-pending algorithms to calculate the optimum server configuration settings that will improve all aspects of performance. Veloxum then implements and logs these new optimal configurations, and acts as a continuous ‘tune-up’ service to configure elements automatically without requiring any user intervention or specialist skills.

Out of the box, Veloxum can fine tune settings for MS SharePoint, Outlook, Exchange, VMware, Citrix, Oracle and more.

What this means for the customer is that they can increase guest to host density, running a greater number of VMware instances without increasing physical server capacity. This leads to dramatic cost savings in terms of deferred capital expenditure on new hardware and reduced Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) in the areas of support, maintenance, powering and cooling requirements. Veloxum customers typically see a Return on Investment period of less than 6 months.

Veloxum was established in 2007 and is based in California. For Teneo, Veloxum adds to a growing list of best-of-breed IT infrastructure, network and application optimisation vendor partners that it serves in the UK.

Piers Carey, Chief Executive Officer, Teneo, commented:
“Teneo has an enviable track record of building partner relationships with global solution providers who can offer game-changing solutions for our customers’ networks and IT infrastructures. Our strong relationship with Riverbed puts us at the forefront of the WAN optimisation market. Veloxum takes the same concepts into the server market and increases the scale of our data centre solution. Veloxum is unique in what it does – examining configuration settings across all elements of a client’s VMware platform and continually fine-tuning these settings to deliver dramatic improvements in efficiency and dramatic cost savings.

“Veloxum offers a solution that ticks all the boxes – quick deployment, guaranteed performance improvements and fast return on investment.”

Kevin Cornell, Chief Executive Officer, Veloxum, commented:
“Teneo is an excellent partner for Veloxum as we know that Teneo has the experience and capability to understand how Veloxum can help VMware users and to successfully implement our ACO solution. Teneo has a reputation on both sides of the Atlantic for working with vendors who are offering cutting-edge technology to solve customers’ network and infrastructure issues. We look forward to introducing Veloxum solutions to Teneo customers.”
