Virtualisation

Virtualisation is a technology used to partition a physical server into separate, smaller, virtual servers. Using virtualisation allows businesses to reduce capital expenditure on infrastructure and improve resiliency and producticity as well as contributing to a lower carbon footprint.

Once the server is running it can be easily moved between host servers.  A virtualized environment with shared storage ensures the highest possible availability for critical business applications and because a virtual server is a set of files hosted on the main server provisioning of new servers for your business is very quick and very easy.

Virtualized servers run their own operating system from the host server and can be rebooted independently which reduces business downtime.

virtualisation reduces the cost of server ownership as less hardware is required.  Less hardware means lower energy consumption and less support and maintenance costs.

virtualisation provides a way to practice redundancy without purchasing additional hardware. Redundancy refers to running the same application on multiple servers. If a server fails for any reason, another server running the same application can take its place. This minimizes any interruption in service. In most cases, network administrators will create redundant virtual servers on different physical machines

Piran Technologies provide server virtualisation based on industry leading HP ProLiant servers and storage with the latest Microsoft Server software.
