Virtualization

Virtualization

If the cost of your computer equipment is soaring, the time has come to consider this solution.

Virtualization is a proven software technology. It allows businesses to organize their computing infrastructure adequately and ensures more efficient, cost-effective operations by lowering material costs. You can optimize the use of your computer equipment by operating several “virtual” machines on each physical server (and allotting your storage resources based on the same principle).

But why is virtualization so important? Generally speaking, applications and operating systems now use only a small proportion of resources available on a physical computer device. If you are using dedicated servers, a significant part of their invaluable computing power is left unused. Virtualization solutions use computer resources more efficiently, thus simplifying IT infrastructure and reducing operating costs.

Why should your business consider virtualization?

The virtualization of your technological infrastructure will allow you to reduce computing costs considerably while increasing the efficiency, optimal use, flexibility and protection of your existing assets.

Here are the main functions and advantages of virtualization:

  • Server Consolidation – Refers to the capacity of launching simultaneously several virtual server instances on a single physical server to considerably reduce investments needed for the physical aspect of technological infrastructure.
  • Redundancy and Contingency – Xelys can protect all your virtual servers with virtualization. We can go back in time prior to a breakdown by ensuring the regular, automated storage of data to recover, for instance, all your data that would otherwise be lost. In the event of a physical server breakdown, we can also easily transfer the virtual server(s) to another physical server.

We are familiar with the critical nature of our clients’ technological infrastructure. That is why we recommend this level of additional protection to quickly address problems using these enhanced tools in the event of a crisis.
