Virtual Infrastructure:

Virtualization allows multiple machines with various operating systems to run side-by-side on the same physical machine.  Each virtual machine has its own set of virtual hardware, (RAM, CPU, NIC, etc.) upon which an operating system and applications are loaded.  Virtualization increases hardware utilization and dramatically decreases capital and operating costs by sharing hardware and resources.

Virtualization means CONSOLIDATION:

Consolidate physical servers into Virtual Servers at an average 10 to 1 for Production applications and 20 to 1 for Design and testing applications.

     Partitioning:

• Multiple applications and operating systems can be supported within a single physical server box.

• Computing resources are treated as a uniform pool to be allocated to virtual machines in a controlled manner.

     Isolation:

• Virtual machines are completely isolated from the host machine and other virtual machines.  If a virtual machine crashes, all others are unaffected.

     Encapsaulated:

• A complete virtual machine environment is saved as a single file; easy to backup, move and copy.

Virtualization means BUSINESS CONTINUITY:

Minimizing downtime is essential for any organization.  Server virtualization minimizes downtime and data loss due to a server crash or failure.

     Disaster Recovery = High Availability:

• Automatic restart of virtual machines in case of server failure without the need for dedicated stand-by hardware.

• Eliminates the complexity and costs involved with clustering.
