Server Virtualisation

Virtualisation allows you to run several virtual servers on one physical server. This means that you can reduce your hardware and energy costs greatly. If we take an example of this, a company may have 3 physical servers that it has always used – one for email, one for file management and one for a database.

This means that there are 3 servers sat in a room, all using electricity and generating heat. There are also 3 lots of backups to carry out and the risk of hardware failure is 3 times greater than if you had 1 server and of course, the original cost outlay was also 3 times greater.

So in this example, these 3 servers would be virtualised to sit inside one server box which means one lot of hardware. In terms of your network and from a user’s point of view, they would still see the three servers and use them just as before even through they now sit inside one physical server.

  • You save money – you can turn multiple servers into just one.
  • You save energy – servers are not cheap to run and typically require cooling. Reducing the hardware, reduces the energy consumption.
  • You save space – if your have multiple servers, the chances are that they are located in a special air conditioned room. By moving them on to one server, you gain a lot of your space back.
  • Disaster recovery and backups are greatly improved – virtualised servers are very easy to back up and restore and can be easily synced with other off-site servers. Restoring a virtual server to new hardware is much easier than configuring a new server and then restoring any data. The use of snapshots allows you to roll back should a problem ever occur.
