Virtualisation
Virtualisation is a technology that enables multiple server operating systems to be run on a single server.
This has a huge range of potential benefits including:
- Energy saving – fewer servers means less power to run and cooling.
- Maximised utilisation of hardware – having the ability to run multiple operating systems and applications on the same server.
- Provides for higher availability – virtual servers can automatically be brought online onto a second physical host during hardware problems or for routine maintenance.
- Lower management costs – all the resources are consolidated onto fewer servers. These are much simpler to administer and manage.
- Provides for a reduced footprint – less rack space is required.
- Disaster Recovery – virtual servers are portable providing greater flexibility for offsite backups, replication and disaster recovery capabilities and testing.
Virtualisation is applicable for businesses of any size. We regularly deploy virtual servers in single server deployments all the way up to large multi-
