| With any server, you install the software you want to run. However usually, the server is underutilised and never reaches its full potential. Virtualisation harnesses the underutilised resources in the server to run ‘virtual servers’ on the same piece of hardware. Each virtual server acts as a separate environment meaning one could run Redhat Linux while another could be running Windows Server 2008. This enables organisations to reap the benefit of several physical servers but without the costs! This ensures a strong return on investment and hence a popular option by businesses.
The benefits however extend beyond server consolidation. By implementing features such as snapshots you can rapidly create test and development environments that are exact copies of your production system. By hosting images on shared storage you can implement high availability solutions very easily. By combining these two technologies the maintenance role becomes far more efficient.
Virtualisation can be a headache left in the wrong hands. With e-DBA we work with you closely from the first day to make sure it’s done right and that you get the ROI your expecting from it. Call to add higher levels of versatility to your environment whilst helping you gain more control.
