Server Virtualization
Server Virtualization is a technology that allows multiple virtual servers to run on a single physical server. This allows organizations to make more efficient use of their hardware resources and reduces the need for multiple physical servers.
There are several different types of server virtualization, including:
- Type 1 hypervisors, also known as native or bare-metal hypervisors, run directly on the host’s hardware. Examples of Type 1 hypervisors include VMware ESXi, Microsoft Hyper-V, and Citrix XenServer.
- Type 2 hypervisors, also known as hosted hypervisors, run on top of a host operating system. Examples of Type 2 hypervisors include VMware Workstation and Oracle VirtualBox.
- Improve server utilization: By running multiple virtual servers on a single physical server, organizations can make better use of their hardware resources.
- Increase flexibility: Virtual servers can be easily moved and resized as needed, making it easier to respond to changing business needs.
- Reduce costs: Organizations can save money on hardware, energy, and cooling costs by reducing the number of physical servers they need.
- Improve disaster recovery: Virtual servers can be easily backed up and recovered, making it easier for organizations to protect against data loss.
- Assess their current server infrastructure and identify the best virtualization solution for their needs.
- Design and implement a virtualized server infrastructure that meets the customer’s business needs.
- Provide expert guidance on the latest virtualization technologies and best practices.
- Assist with the migration of existing physical servers to virtual servers.
- Provide ongoing management and support for the virtualized server infrastructure.
- Improved hardware utilization
- Increased scalability
- Reduced costs
- Better disaster recovery
- Higher availability
- Enhanced security
