Virtualization Services
What is virtualization? Simply put, it’s the process of creating a virtual, rather than physical, version of something. Virtualization can apply to computers, operating systems, storage devices, applications, or networks. However, server virtualization is at the heart of it.
IT organizations are challenged by the limitations of today’s servers, which are designed to run just one operating system and application at a time. As a result, even small businesses have to deploy many servers, each operating at just 5 to 15 percent of capacity—highly inefficient by any standard.
Virtualization uses software to simulate the existence of hardware and create a virtual computer system. Doing this allows businesses to run more than one virtual system – and multiple operating systems and applications — on a single physical server. This can provide economies of scale and greater efficiency.
Virtualization Benefits
Improve Server Performance and Reduce Infrastructure Costs with Virtualization
For small businesses with too many underutilized servers or escalating IT costs, virtualization offers many benefits by fundamentally changing the way IT resources are managed and deployed. Virtualization provides unmatched flexibility, performance, and utilization by allowing you to move server workloads from one virtual workspace to the next, maximizing server resources on the fly based on your business needs.
Using server virtualization, a company can maximize the use of its server resources and reduce the number of servers required. The result is server consolidation, which improves efficiency and cuts costs.
