How does it work?

Today's powerful x86 computer hardware was originally designed to run only a single operating system.  Virtualisation changes that, making it possible to run multiple servers on the same computer at the same time, whilst sharing resources such as CPU, RAM and Disk, increasing the utilisation and flexibility of hardware.

In essence, virtualisation lets you transform hardware servers into software files.  Multiple virtual machines share hardware resources without interfering with each other so that you can safely run several operating systems and applications at the same time on a single computer.    

 

Top 5 Reasons to Adopt Virtualisation Software  

  1. Server Consolidation and Infrastructure Optimisation: Achieve significantly higher resource utilisation by pooling common infrastructure resources and breaking the legacy “one application to one server” model.
  2. Physical Infrastructure Cost Reduction: With virtualisation, you can reduce the number of servers and related IT hardware in the data center. This leads to reductions in real estate, power and cooling requirements, resulting in significantly lower IT costs.
  3. Improved Operational Flexibility and Responsiveness:  IT administrators spend less time on repetitive tasks such as provisioning, configuration, monitoring and maintenance.
  4. Increased Application Availability and Improved Business Continuity: Eliminate planned downtime and recover quickly from unplanned outages with the ability to securely backup and migrate entire virtual environments with no interruption in service.
  5. Improved Desktop Manageability and Security: Deploy, manage and monitor secure desktop environments that end users can access locally or remotely, with or without a network connection, on almost any standard desktop, laptop or tablet PC.
