Virtualisation
Virt
ualisation is a proven software technology that is fundamentally changing the way businesses compute. VMware virtualisation lets you move away from the traditional "one server, one application" model to running multiple virtual machines on a single physical server. This is achieved by using a VM Hypervisor that provides a mapping layer between the manufacturer's hardware components and the virtual machine itself.
When an operating system is installed on a virtualisation platform they are viewed as objects that appear and behave just like a physical server, with all its resources (CPU, RAM, storage and networking) and features (root/admin access, a complete operating system, application stack, reboots, etc.). But in reality, multiple virtual servers run side by side on the same piece of hardware, the physical (host) server.
Today's applications and operating systems only use a fraction of the resources available on a physical server. This means valuable computing power sits idle for long periods of time. VMware virtualisation puts those untapped resources to work for you, and reduces your IT costs at the same time.
Sounds good but how does this work for smaller companies who need more IT Capability, Less Cost and Complexity?
Small and midsize organisations face unique IT challenges. Your entire company runs on a few important applications, but reliable business technology can be complex and expensive. VMware makes IT simpler to manage and use, highly reliable, and a lot less costly - for tens of thousands of small and mid-size companies. Our solutions can do the same for you, so you can stay focused on managing and growing your business.
Run a Lot More Apps on a Lot Less Hardware
VMware virtualization consolidates your apps on many fewer physical machines, which are easily managed as a pooled resource. Nothing changes for your applications. Performance levels stay high or soar even higher, while you gain dramatic benefits:
- 80% greater utilization of every server
- Server count reduced by a ratio of 10:1 or better
- Up to 50% savings in annual capital and operating costs
When an app or operating system fails, the problem is fully isolated: no other workloads are affected. When a server goes down, impacted applications are automatically restarted on another machine.
So what can Vixsoft do to help you make this move to Virtualisation?
Whether it be consolidating a few servers to reduce overheads and give you more flexibility or it be 100's of server we can assist you every step of the way from proof of concept to complete installation and migration of Physical to Virtual servers and maintain if required.
