Server Virtualisation...

What is server virtualisation?

Server virtualization is the masking of server resources, including the number and identity of individual physical servers, processors, and operating systems, from server users. The server administrator uses a software application to divide one physical server into multiple isolated virtual environments. The virtual environments are sometimes called virtual private servers, but they are also known as guests, instances, containers or emulations.

What does this mean?

This means several things – the hardware represents a large proportion of any install cost and but using virtual servers, we can spread the cost between several customers.
If there is a problem, we can easily recreate the server and get you up and running again in minutes.

You don’t have to worry about redundancy – does your server have 2 power supplies? 2 processors? Multiple hard drives? If it doesn’t, you have a single point of failure and therefore no redundancy. Using virtual servers is a cost effective way around this problem.
