virtualisation
Virtualisation is a technology that allows a single physical server to share multiple operating system environments across the same piece of hardware. Installing traditional physical servers would typically require a separate server for each server role. By utilising virtual server technology (Microsoft HyperV or VMWare, for example), the number of physical servers can be greatly reduced as virtual servers are consolidated on to fewer incidences of physical hardware. Virtualising servers will result in improved resource utilisation as well as reductions in power and cooling requirements. In addition to energy saving and lower capital expenses due to more efficient use of hardware resources, virtualisation provides high availability, increased security and improved disaster recovery.
A virtualised platform is highly scalable, meaning that adding additional virtual servers as your company grows does not incur the same project, labour or capital costs as adding additional physical servers. Furthermore, organisations that deploy a virtualised environment will also reduce their energy consumption (thereby reducing their carbon footprint) and improve the effectiveness of their disaster recovery plan.
