Virtualization allows to run numerous operating systems simultaneously on one given hardware platform at the highest efficiency possible. It can be compared to having a few other virtual computers within one hardware computer.

Virtualization – saves energy and space

It often turns out that a company needs to expand its IT infrastructure by more servers. It entails buying a new server, new UPS, occupying new ports in a network switch or buying a new switch if there are no ports available. New hardware takes up more space and increases the electricity consumption.

When is it possible to run virtual operating systems?

It is worth carrying out a load analysis of currently-owned servers. It will provide an answer to the question whether it is possible to save on buying new hardware and using electricity.

Benefits of operating system virtualization

Companies which own a few servers and want to reduce their operating cost, change older and less economical hardware to new more powerful hardware consuming less electricity. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the number of servers from, e.g., six 3-4 years old devices to two powerful servers which after virtualization will be visible on the network as six servers. Such a solution results in lower costs of infrastructure maintenance and significantly increases hardware reliability.

A virtualized system is easier to use and in the event of operating system failure, data recovery is much quicker. In case of a failure, owned systems can be easily and quickly cloned.

We successfully utilize virtualization at our company and we recommend this solution to our Customers.
