Virtualisation
Virtualise servers and desktop systems – for less hardware, lower power consumption and more availability.
- VMwarevSphere and Hyper-V
- Less powerup to 80% savings possible
- Highly availablefailures are absorbed
What virtualisation means
Virtualisation divides the resources of a server – processor, memory, storage – into several virtual machines. Each behaves like a separate computer, including its own operating system and applications.
The benefit arises where hardware was previously underutilised: instead of five physical servers each running at 10 percent load, one system runs five virtual machines – and still has headroom for more.
What it delivers
- Fewer devices, less power, less cooling
- Shorter provisioning times for new systems
- Snapshots and fast recovery before changes
- High availability through multiple hosts
- Independence from individual hardware
Implementation
Don't virtualise for technology's sake
Virtualisation is not worthwhile for every system. We assess databases with high load, old line-of-business applications or systems with special hardware requirements individually before moving them into the virtual environment.
For the remaining systems we plan host resources, storage and network with headroom – and a backup concept that reliably protects virtual machines too.
- Analysis of existing systems
- Concept for hosts, storage and network
- Migration in maintenance windows
- Backup and restore testing
- Documentation and training
Availability
If one host fails, other systems take over the load.
Flexibility
Provision new systems in minutes instead of weeks.
