Server Virtualisation & how it could benefit you!

Server Virtualisation

What is Virtualisation?

Virtualisation is a proven software technology that is rapidly transforming the IT landscape and fundamentally changing the way that people compute. Virtualisation essentially lets one machine do the job of multiple machines, by sharing the resources of a single machine across multiple environments. Thus allowing for multiple virtual machines to run independently on the same physical machine, at the same time, with each virtual machine representing a complete system. Virtual servers and virtual desktops let you host multiple operating systems and multiple applications locally and in remote locations, freeing you from physical and geographical limitations.

What is Server Virtualisation?

Server Virtualisation is essentially the partitioning of a physical server into a number of smaller virtual servers, helping to maximize your resources. By enabling multiple ‘virtual servers’ to be run on a single or a reduced number of shared machines, server virtualisation dramatically reduces the number of physical servers required, in an organisation.

Why Virtualise your Servers?

Server Virtualisation offers numerous benefits for businesses, including; reducing costs, increasing efficiency, increasing server utilisation and centralising infrastructure management.

Server virtualisation has numerous features to offer organisations of all sizes, ultimately resulting in a range of benefits. While we have not covered all of the benefits here, as a VMware partner we have a vast amount of knowledge to share, so if you would like any more information please contact Andy Potts or David Philps on 01723 587240.
