Virtualisation

Virtualisation - smarter hardware at a lower cost

Virtualisation is the separation of a resource or service from the underlying physical resource or delivery of that service. For example, by using software as the basis of an IT hardware infrastructure, you’re able to run multiple virtual servers on one physical server.

How your business can benefit from Virtualisation Services:

  • Improve hardware efficiency - on average anywhere between 85% - 95% of underlying CPU processing power remains unused
  • Free up your expensive real estate
  • Significantly lower your energy costs
  • Reduce your payroll freeing up staff required to run multiple servers

Server Virtualisation

  • Divides one physical server into multiple virtual environments, reducing the number and types of servers that you use.
  • The 'sweet spot' in the current market, the entry level Virtualisation for most organisations.
  • More than 60% of IT departments have or will use it in the coming years
  • Significant cost savings due to lower power consumption
  • More effective use of your IT infrastructure

Desktop Virtualisation

  • Separates a personal computer desktop from the physical machine.
  • The virtualised desktop is stored on a remote central server, allowing your users to access it from any device capable of displaying the desktop, such as a PC, Laptop or HP thin client.

Storage Virtualisation

  • The pooling of physical storage from multiple network devices into a single data storage device, managed from a central console significantly frees up physical space.

Network Virtualisation

  • Combines resources in a network by splitting the available bandwidth into independent channels. Each channel is then assigned to a particular server or device in real time.
  • This technology is expected to rise in popularity as vSphere 4.0 and the Cisco Nexus 1000 switch become commonplace in data centres.
