Free up your resources and save costs through better performance and availability. High availability of the IT infrastructure is essential for successful business operations. Optimized use of resources, flexible support times and relief for employees are essential features for successful outsourcing.

We are there for you at any time for the maintenance of your hardware and software. Regular maintenance keeps your system always up to date. In this way, any malfunctions can be detected at an early stage and rectified immediately, before a serious problem arises. With maintenance and service from Kiwango IT GmbH, you can protect your data and your equipment effectively and reliably!

Service and maintenance contracts provide you with maximum cost transparency for guaranteed services. Maintenance cycles must be adhered to. Especially for automatic updates, it is important to define a procedure that supports operational requirements.

Our many years of experience have shown that open communication not only creates trust, but also an environment in which improvements to your IT performance can be made.

Here’s what else to consider:

When maintaining and servicing IT systems, the issue of data protection must also be taken into account. The background to this is that during the maintenance or servicing of IT systems, the service provider may gain knowledge of the personal data stored by the customer on its IT systems. For this reason, the legislator has decided to include a corresponding provision in Art. 28 DSGVO.

This means that the regulations on commissioned data processing also apply to the maintenance and servicing of IT systems.

Virtualization is by far the most effective way to reduce IT spending while increasing efficiency and agility – not only for large companies, but also for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).

The reasons to embrace virtualization include: running multiple operating systems and applications simultaneously on a single computer, consolidating hardware for significantly higher productivity with fewer servers, saving 50% or more in overall IT costs, accelerating and simplifying IT management, maintenance and deployment of new applications.

Green IT Virtualization

Virtualization means saying goodbye to single-purpose machines, as well as to the 1:1 mapping of the server instance to the hardware working underneath.

As a VMware partner, Kiwango IT GmbH uses the appropriate software. The physical server (or host) is made to believe that it has the entire hardware at its disposal – while in reality 8, 10, 12 or more virtualized server instances run on one machine.

The logical consequence is: lower power consumption for server operation, as well as for power-hungry air conditioning & cooling.

Data storage

A lot of energy is consumed in the area of data storage. Here, too, optimization is possible: deduplication.
Special software breaks down the files to be stored into many individual blocks, and replaces repeating bit patterns with references to the one stored block. In this way, extensive archive or backup data stocks can be reduced as drastically as the number of servers through virtualization.

Desktop virtualization

A lot of energy is wasted on the user side because companies still rely on PCs. However, these “fat clients” are absolutely “overpowered” for the everyday tasks of an office environment. As a result, an additional unnecessary amount of energy is consumed. An alternative to PCs are the:

Thin Clients

Here, the applications run in the data center with all the possibilities of energy optimization. Such a centralized client architecture not only creates cost, management, and security advantages, but also saves electricity to a considerable extent.

Network virtualization

Network virtualization achieves hardware independence by completely decoupling the network components from the underlying physical network infrastructure. From the end host’s perspective, the physical network is faithfully mapped and no difference is created for the workloads. However, in terms of operations, it is a transformative change that enables unprecedented automation from network provisioning to deployment to maintenance.

Conclusion:

GREEN IT is not just about purely environmental protection considerations or the disposal of end devices, but primarily about the economic consideration of power consumption and thus the efficient use of resources.
Companies therefore benefit from GREEN IT. The electricity savings alone make the virtualization/consolidation projects pay off (ROI).

Virtualization with VMware

Years ago, Kiwango partner VMware introduced virtualization, which decouples CPU power and memory from the underlying physical hardware. Virtualization is now a popular infrastructure technology. In this comprehensive application, end users and IT administrators benefit from significant advantages over traditional IT infrastructure.

In a nutshell:

Computing:

Many virtual machines can run simultaneously on a single computer, greatly improving availability, performance and resource utilization.

Network:

Network virtualization achieves hardware independence by completely decoupling network components from the underlying physical network infrastructure. This enables unprecedented automation from network provisioning to deployment and maintenance.

Storage:

Aggregated, flexible, efficient and dynamically scalable. Result: savings of up to 50 percent in total cost of ownership for storage, and reduced storage infrastructure complexity across the board.

Security:

VMware integrates network security and firewall protection into every virtual machine. VMsafe APIs simplify the integration of third-party security products to meet even the most specific requirements.
PRACTICE ADVANTAGES: Simplicity – Speed – Security – Cost-effectiveness.

Backup with Veeam

For SMEs, Veeam Backup Essentials is used. Why?

Because with a small budget and time constraints, a powerful and user-friendly backup solution is more important today than ever before. Veeam Backup Essentials delivers all the powerful and easy-to-use features and benefits of Veeam Backup & Replication in a highly affordable solution.

For businesses of all sizes, Veeam Backup Management Suite is applied.

Veeam Backup Management Suite is based on Veeam Backup & Replication to provide a solution that meets all the backup, insight and control requirements for your VMware environment.

At the same time, two out of three German companies have lost data in recent years and suffered economic damage as a result. The reason for this is often a lack of awareness of the importance of secure IT systems. Security is a basic prerequisite for business success.

You are only protected against attacks on your system by the right security solution. We at Kiwango IT GmbH advise you on a vendor-neutral basis and find the right solution for your individual requirements. Whether you need anti-virus, spam or firewall solutions, we will discuss your requirements with you and offer you the perfect solution. If you are affected by a virus attack, we will also take care of its clean removal and, if necessary, system recovery.

We analyze your network structure and jointly determine the security needs of your company. In doing so, we support you in evaluating the costs, benefits and risks of your current infrastructure.

With our emergency service, we offer you the possibility to reach out to us at any time. After all, it is not up to you when your IT goes on strike. Use our emergency call, which is also available outside our business hours.
