Virtualization is one of the hottest topics in IT departments today, and for good reason, it’s a game changer…
Not only can you take advantage of faster server deployment times, increased utilization of server hardware and flexible disaster recovery capabilities, but you are also placing an abstraction layer between the hardware and you operating system. This frees you from the lock-in that occurs when you run directly on a physical server. Need a faster server? No problem, simply shut down the virtual server, move the files to the new one and start it up. If you’re using something like VMWare’s VMotion, you can simply right-click on a server to migrate it while it is running with no downtime whatsoever. The only thing noticed by your users is the increased speed available and you just saved yourself from spending the whole weekend migrating things the old way.
That’s just a small example of the power of virtualization, contact us to explore the possibilities with you.
