Virtualization

NEED

Virtualization contributes substantially to the efficiency and availability of the organizational resources and applications, consolidation of infrastructure, maintenance cost reduction and utilization of previously unexploited capacities of the current equipment.

Potential installing of several virtual servers on a single physical server increases its exploitability from the average 5-8% to 60-80%, simplifies server administration and enables separation of production applications into several virtual systems, which prevents their mutual interference.

SOLUTION

There are 5 types of virtualization:

- Storage virtualization (integration of several physical storage devices into a single virtual device),

- Network virtualization (separation of accessible bandwidths into distinct channels to be allocated to specific resources),

- Server virtualization (hides the physical nature of the server, including the identity of individual machines, processors and operating systems from their applications),

- Desktop virtualization (workstations, the so-called Thin Clients, do not have their own operating system, as it is completely installed on the server),

-  Application virtualization (business applications are activated virtually from the workstation, but in reality server resources are used).

Nowadays most common types of virtualization are storage and server virtualization.

BENEFIT

Reduction in the number of physical servers (simpler administration, cost-effective maintenance).

Infrastructure consolidation increases data center efficiency.
Simplified and prompt deployment of new virtual servers.

Support for a number of operating systems on a single hardware platform (Windows Server 2000/2003/2008, Linux…).

After simplification of administration of physical machines, the IT focus can be shifted from technologies to technologically provided services.

Prompt Disaster Recovery.

High system availability.

Reduction in electricity consumption (direct reduction due to a smaller number of servers, indirect reduction due to a smaller number of requests for server hall cooling). 

Environmental pollution decrease.

ADVANTAGES

A top notch team of specialists with a substantial number of Microsoft and VMware Certificates can readily offer you an integral solution, which will include GAP analysis, project development, and swift system implementation and maintenance. We can efficiently implement most demanding projects due to our wide experience acquired from previous projects and the Microsoft Premier Partner and VMware VIP Enterprise Partner statuses, with minimum system downtime, i.e. continuous company business management.
