Additional Information about Virtualisation

With Virtualisation you can essentially have many servers or desktops running virtually on a single physical machine while still maintaining the same functionality and performance.

This makes your environment extremely flexible in that you can move the virtual devices around between your physical machines while they remain fully operational.

Server downtime due to maintenance is now a thing of the past as you can maintain the server hardware while the actual servers remain operational to your users.

At Hardware.com we embrace best of breed technology and offer a wide range of products from the market leader in virtualisation VMware. We can supply the latest hardware and software that can help you transform your existing environment into a virtual one.

 

Key Benefits of Virtualisation

Moving from a physical to virtual environment brings with it a number of key benefits to you and your users:
  • Cost Savings – drastically reduce your operational costs; less servers, means less maintenance, less power, less cooling and less downtime.
  • Flexibility – the ability to move virtual machines between physical servers. In some environments simply moving 'idle' servers to a single physical server and powering off the physical server's means huge environmental cost savings.
  • Peace of Mind – deploy development servers quickly and test upgrades in complete safety.
  • Business Continuance – replicate your virtual servers to a DR environment with no loss of data. Having access to all your applications and data in the event of a disaster is vital.
  • Seamless Migration – using the latest Physical 2 Virtual (P2V) software your move to a virtual environment can take weeks, rather than months or years.
  • Rapid Deployment – deploy new servers and applications at the touch of a button, with VMware this is truly a reality as you can deploy a new server or a clone in minutes.
