Server Virtualisation

Server virtualization is the new hot topic in the IT Industry. Everyone is talking about it and Armada Solutions are bringing it to Small Business. So what is server virtualization and when should it be used? Essentially Server Virtualization is a method of running multiple independent virtual operating systems on a single physical computer. It is a way of maximizing physical resources to maximize the investment in hardware. So where a small business once had separate physical servers for File sharing, Email and Line of business Applications such as Accounts or ERP, they can now run all this on one physical server while keeping the individual environments isolated from each other. Server virtualization provides a raft of clear business benefits many of which convert directly into cost savings.

Increase the use of hardware resources – most server hardware is only 20% utilised (InfoTech);
Reduce the number of physical servers in your network and save on power and cooling;
Reduce the number of physical servers and save on desk/rack space.
Need a new server? Just create a new Virtual Machine. No need to buy a new box;
Increase flexibility – migrate servers to new hardware in hours not days.
Disaster Recovery – simple and fast. No hardware dependency issues. Simple file restore.

In the small business arena we are leading the way in terms of bringing this technology to our customers and using it to reduce costs, increase flexibility and protect against disaster. If your business is buying more and more server hardware for less and less return, you need to talk to us.
