Virtualization

Virtualization lets you transform your computing resources from fixed, static layers into a dynamic, flexible configuration. Running multiple operating systems and applications on a single server, virtualization lets your IT staff reallocate or deploy resources without any additional costly procurement or time-consuming configuration. Your ability to quickly and easily adapt to changing business needs is instantly improved.

With products such as VMware and Microsoft Virtual Server businesses are able to reap all the benefits of having multiple servers, including segmentation and secure isolation without the expense and management headaches of supporting a large number of physical servers.

Virtual server technology lets you use server processor and memory time much more efficiently by running multiple virtual servers on one physical server unit. Powerful servers often dedicated to low-demand applications are instantly released and allowed to maximize potential.

With virtual servers, updating, reconfiguring and supporting infrastructure is faster and simpler, improving your ability to respond to a changing business environment. Management time and supports costs are slashed as the virtual host software lets your IT experts easily: move virtual servers between physical resources to match the demands of applications; load-balance existing virtual servers across physical hosts; deploy a new server in minutes as application demand increases.

Microsoft’s Hyper-V system supports popular virtualization applications such as, consolidating production servers, streamlining business continuity and disaster recovery procedures, developing and validating software, and creating more versatile datacenters.

Incorporating expandability and performance, Hyper-V delivers features such as guest multi-processing support and 64-bit guest and host support. The dependability and security of your system is enhanced by Hyper-V’s hypervisor architecture whilst integration with Microsoft's System Center Virtual Machine Manager unifies the administration of a virtualized environment.

Key benefits
Using a complete virtualization strategy you can:

  • Reduce your total cost of ownership and boost investment returns across your entire computing infrastructure.
  • Transform computing assets into on-demand services, improving your business agility.
  • Maintain "one application, one server" while reducing physical server sprawl through server consolidation and provisioning.
  • Provide optimal desktop solutions for individual user needs while still meeting IT requirements.
  • Provision and manage both physical and virtual resources centrally.
  • Help ensure effective business continuity and disaster recovery by compartmentalizing workflows and maintaining failover plans.
  • Quickly and efficiently model and test different environments without major expansion of hardware and physical resources.
  • Improve security by isolating computing layers and minimizing the chance of widespread failure.
