What is Server Virtualisation?

Out of all of the forms of virtualisation, creating virtual servers is the most common and most widely implemented form of virtualisation.

Server Virtualisation… What is it?

In a traditional data centre there tends to be lots of physical servers. Workloads on these physical servers vary considerably depending on user activity, application, and network conditions. This means your server estate is not running at anywhere near its full capacity, resulting in a wasted opportunity to get more from your existing estate.

Server virtualisation allows you to maximise the resources of the servers, by running many virtual servers on one physical device.

How does Application Virtualisation benefit you?

The reason why Server Virtualisation has been so popular is down to the fact it can deliver immediate financial benefits to most organisations, without any of your users noticing any difference to their normal operations.

By implementing Server Virtualisation you can:

Reduce your data centre costs: By having fewer physical servers - you can reduce your hardware maintenance costs. With fewer servers your energy costs to power and cooling costs are greatly reduced.

As you need fewer servers, you have more physical space in your data centre, allowing you to reduce office costs.
