IMCI Infinite Group Inc (CE)

Infinite Group, Inc. (IMCI.OB) today announced plans to expand its Virtualization Practice to the state government and commercial markets. IGI�s Virtualization Practice has focused on the Federal Civilian Agency market so the expansion will leverage that expertise to pursue the growing Virtualization market in State and Private Industry segments while continuing growth in the Federal market including Civilian and Department of Defense activities. �IGI has existing contract vehicles in Mississippi and North Carolina, and we are pursuing similar vehicles in other states to support the growth of our Virtualization business. We also have strategic consultants in various industry segments and a �go to market� strategy based on our success in the Federal market,� said David Slavny, IGI�s Director of Business Development. IGI�s rapid growth in the Virtualization services business has been carefully managed by building a staff of Architects, Engineers, and System Administrators trained, experienced, and certified with leading edge methodologies and tools. IGI is a VMware Authorized Consultant (VAC), and its Virtualization personnel are registered as VMware Certified Professionals (VCPs). To date, IGI has virtualized over 2,400 servers and has another 2,000 in various development stages. Most of the servers are production servers and the Physical to Virtual migrations were implemented while in the production mode. �We are experiencing about a 10:1 reduction in physical to virtual servers so our clients are benefiting substantially in power, cooling, and space savings,� said Jim Frost, IGI�s Chief Technology Officer. �For one of our clients, we anticipate a 20:1 reduction based on a recently completed Capacity Plan study,� said Frost. Scott Hogan, IGI�s Vice President of Operations, said that �most of the servers we have virtualized are managed by our team of System Administrators 24/7 so we have a well defined Operations Plan to guide the server management process in a virtualized environment. This process along with the features of VMware ESX enables us to efficiently manage some 1,700 production level Virtual Machines.� IGI specializes in Intelligent Infrastructure Services with Virtualization being the base service.
