Virtualisation Solutions
What is Virtualisation ?
Simply put, virtualisation allows one computer to do the job of multiple computers, by sharing the resources of a single computer across multiple environments.Virtual servers and virtual desktops allow clients to host multiple operating systems and applications both locally and remotely, freeing companies from both physical and geographical limitations.
Not only do businesses make savings on energy usage and lower capital expenditure but also gain high availability of resources, better desktop management, increased data security and improved disaster recovery processes.
How does it work ?
A layer of software is installed directly on the server hardware - separating the server from the operating system.This creates partitions within the physical server with their own operating system and applications - known as virtual machines.
Each virtual machine can now use and share the resources of the physical server including the CPU, memory, storage and networking facilities.
Benefits
Virtualisation provides increased efficiency of hardware resources, saves money and improves performance.Companies can also reduce their carbon footprint using less energy and less hardware.
» Increased Application Availability » Increased Data Recoverability
» Reduced Physical Infrastructure Cost
» Increased Staff Productivity
