Efficiency and redundancy with Virtual Machines
Virtualization has become a key technology that we often recommend as an IT solution to our clients. Simply defined, virtualization is a technology that creates an environment on a single server upon which all other systems will run. This consolidation eliminates the need for multiple hardware servers.
Server virtualization
Physical servers not only take up considerable space, they also require time intensive maintenance and management. A virtualized environment streamlines IT operations resulting in less hands-on maintenance, power consumption and greater availability and scalability. Typically, this will result in considerable savings in personnel, licensing, hardware and dedicated server space. An overview of server virtualization benefits would include:
While innovative technologies are fast becoming common in the workplace, business objectives are often unique and ever-changing. Our goal at Semperon is to design and create a technical environment that is right for your business. This is accomplished by:
- High availability
- Reduced costs (TCO)
- Scalability – additional virtual servers easily created
- Reduced management and maintenance
Desktop Virtualization – office access from anywhere
Virtualization can also be applied to the desktop computer. A virtualized desktop environment allows an employee access to his workstation from anywhere. All the applications and documents normally associated with his work environment can be used as if he were in the physical office. Access level is totally configurable and specific to each user. This is a great proactive option for disaster recovery where business activity needs to continue in the event of an unforeseen disruption.
In summary
Virtualization saves money, energy, and space. It can also be an excellent component of a disaster recovery plan.
Our experienced virtualization team carefully analyses the IT environment and the client’s needs before recommending a virtualization solution using either VMware or Microsoft Hyper-V. But our virtualization services don’t end with a successful implementation. We continue to monitor your virtual servers proactively, and are able to address any issues that may arise before they become big problems.
