Server Virtualisation
On average servers are utilised at 20% of their capacity, with the majority of potential capacity left redundant. Virtualisation software increases server utilisation enabling a single machine to run multiple operating systems and applications.
With a virtualised environment Servers can be better utilised as multiple operating systems can be run and applications can be moved between servers to achieve maximum efficiencies.
Benefits of Server Virtualisation:
- Reduced energy consumption
- Reduced storage requirement
- Reduced maintenance/resource costs
- Reduced hardware replacement costs
- Fast resource provisioning and workload balancing increasing IT agility
- Increased Disaster recovery options
