Virtualisation
Are you looking to reduce costs, save energy and space? If so virtualisation is worth considering.
Virtualisation means helping IT departments maximize cost savings and improve business continuity. Virtualisation makes it possible to pool resources and run several operating systems from the same hardware.
In case of server consolidation, many small physical servers are replaced by one larger physical server, to increase the utilization of costly hardware resources such as Central Processing Unit (CPU). Although hardware is consolidated, typically operating systems are not. Instead, each operating system running on a physical server becomes converted to a distinct operating system running inside a virtual machine. The large server can "host" many such "guest" virtual machines
Advantages
- Reduces the number of servers.
- Reduces space requirements.
- Reduces running costs.
- Increase server Up time.
- Backup and migrate entire virtual environments
