System virutalization allows businesses to get the most out of their physical server (referred to here as the "physical host") by consolidating their hardware required to host their servers. Physical host servers are given an extra "virtual" layer that sits in between the physical hardware and the operating system(s), that being Windows Server 2008, Windows Small Business 2008 or even Linux based systems.
Our business class Dell and IBM servers are 100% VMWARE ready and are capable of hosting 2,3,4 or more operating systems on the one physical server.
Benefits of virtualization are clear:
Less TCO (Total Cost of Ownership)
Less redundant hardware is required as you get the most out of one physical host by completely utilizing its resources before requiring another. Most small to medium sized businesses will only ever require one physical host.
More "Greener" Option
Not only less hardware is required but alot less power is consumed as you are limiting power requirements to run your infrastruture. As a result you are doing your bit to give back to our beautiful planet by minimizing your carbon footprint and saving alot of money in electricity bills at the same time.
Simple Management
Your servers will be alot easier to manage and maintain. Not only there is less to maintain but virtualization gives you more power over the virtual servers installed on the host by allowing you to logon and control them within the virtual layer (ie turn them off / on aswell as troubleshooting boot sequences all remotely without needing to be there "in person")
Improved Stability
Virtualization is known to actually improve the stability of an operating system as it "buffers" potential hardware issues and masks them from the operating system. The operating system will only see "virtual hardware" which is much more stable than interacting with the physical hardware.
So what are you waiting for? Epic IT have been carrying out virtual server installations for many years now and have saved many Perth businesses money, ongoing expenses, time, space all while improving stability and helping the environment! Let Epic IT virtualize your IT infrastucture today.
