SAVING TIME AND SPACE AND ACCELERATE

IT expenditures are considered one of the most unpredictable, because information systems grow along with business needs.

Today, more and more IT products appear in the market, which enable companies to save money. Some of them even convert costs into investments. In this regard, virtualisation solutions attract attention. This technology appeared over 40 years ago and today belongs to the indispensable assistants in the construction of any business.

WHAT IS VIRTUALISATION?

In simple terms, virtualisation, namely hardware virtualisation, is the ability to create several virtual servers on a single physical one. I.e. virtual machines emulate devices running operating system and software.

BENEFITS

SAVING ON HARDWARE

Virtually every company has one or two servers with multiple roles, for example, mail server, file server, database server, and so on. This is out of question that several software complexes performing various tasks may be deployed based on a single physical machine. However, in some situations, installing new software requires independent server unit. This is the case where a virtual machine with a required OS steps in. Sometimes, it is necessary to have multiple independent virtual servers within a network, which must exist as independent network nodes. A typical example is the VPS hosting services.

DO NOT REINVENT THE WHEEL

When your business grows, it is important that scaling of infrastructure to new tasks is quick and painless. As a result, virtual machines are easy to clone. Imagine that a company opens a new office. The server infrastructure of the central office is standardised and consists of multiple servers with the same settings. How does the infrastructure deployment take place? The process is brought to simple copying of images to the server of the new office, configuring of network equipment and changing of settings in the application software. It also simplifies administration.

YOU GET MORE FREE SPACE

You can greatly reduce the size of the server database and, along with that, spend less time and money on search, purchase and replacement of equipment.

LESS HARDWARE, LESS PROBLEMS

When you work with a physical server, you need to spend many resources, for example, to add a hard disk or expand an existing one, increase the capacity of RAM. When you work with virtualisation, all these steps are skipped, and the issue is reduced to a few mouse clicks or commands of the administrator.

OPTIMISE THE STAFF

Maintenance of virtual servers requires fewer people, so you can optimise staff and cut one more item of expenditure of your company.
