For many businesses, Impact Technology Group recommends virtualization with VMware in order to strengthen network security and management, improve performance and save your company money.
The basic concept of virtualization is simple: use software that creates a foundation to host virtual machines that emulate physical computers. This approach allows several operating systems on these "virtual machines" to run simultaneously on a single physical machine.
VMware is a powerful virtualization software platform that helps your company streamline resources and eliminates the need for one server per application. As the world's leading desktop and datacenter virtualization platform, VMware offers a trusted virtualization technology solution for you company.
With VMware, you can shift the focus of your IT group from maintenance to innovation. Virtualization technology makes your IT operations more efficient, allowing developers to focus on more important priorities.
VMware and Disaster Recovery
If business continuity is a top priority, investing in VMware as part of your disaster recovery plan is a smart decision.
Virtualization technology offers protection and is an integral part of disaster recovery in the event of a serious disruption. With virtualization through VMware, failed systems can automatically be restarted on new machines.
Virtual machines can run from any location and can be transferred to different physical machines in the event that disaster recovery is needed. They can also be used to back up physical servers to help minimize the impact of an event. Impact Technology Group can assist in disaster recovery planning and ensure rapid and reliable recovery through a virtualized infrastructure.
Savings with Virtual Servers
Through VMware, your company will realize savings in several areas, such as power and cooling costs, hardware and other capital and operational expenses.
Rather than paying for multiple under-utilized servers, each dedicated to a specific workload, server virtualization allows consolidating those workloads onto a smaller number of more fully-utilized machines. With VMware virtual servers, you will have less hardware, require less space to house servers and use less energy to run them, all of which saves your company money.
Server virtualization saves your company money by:
- Reducing your physical computer footprint
- Minimizing lost revenue due to downtime
- Streamlining IT workflow
- Reducing power and cooling requirements
- Giving you more from existing hardware
