Virtualization

Server, Desktop and Application Virtualization

What is Server Virtualization?

Server virtualization is a well-established and proven technology which is accomplished by using specialized software (the hypervisor) that can divide one physical server (the host) into multiple, yet completely separate “virtual” environments (the guests or virtual machines). This complete isolation allows each virtual machine (VM) to run completely different operating systems and applications. Since the operating systems are no longer attached physically to the underlying host, the guest which is essentially a small set of files, can easily be migrated from one physical server host to another while actually still running. This technology provides a much more efficient and cost effective way to provide high availability (HA) and disaster recovery (DR) along with business continuity (BC) for organizations large and small.

Server Virtualization Benefits:

High Availability, Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity is easily achieved with a properly designed infrastructure by having multiple hosts using shared storage so in the event that one physical host fails the other(s) can automatically pick up the load without service interruption.

By consolidating what used to be rack after rack of servers, with each server running just one application – to now having multiple virtual servers all running simultaneously and truly utilizing the hardware capabilities of the same physical server - power, cooling and administrative costs can be dramatically reduced.

Agility to quickly spin up servers using standard “cloning” capabilities already built in, the virtualized server environment can quickly be scaled for demand and Developers can swap out virtual machines to easily test various operating systems and versions.
