Virtualization
Server Virtualization is a hot topic and is fairly established and mainstream. It offers the potential for a reduction in total server hardware requirements and better management of those requirements. Smartweb possesses considerable expertise in the implementation of virtualized infrastructures. When deployed correctly the benefits far outweigh any risks or initial investment incurred.
It is the process of creating a software-based, or virtual, representation of something, such as virtual applications, servers, storage and networks. It is the single most effective way to reduce IT expenses while boosting efficiency and agility for all size businesses.
Save on physical space.
Reduced hardware costs.
Reduced consumption of power and the need for cooling.
Implementation of Backup/Recovery.
Capability to rapidly deploy a new system without buying new hardware.
Network Virtualization
By completely reproducing a physical network, network virtualization allows applications to run on a virtual network as if they were running on a physical network — but with greater operational benefits and all the hardware independencies of virtualization. (Network virtualization presents logical networking devices and services — logical ports, switches, routers, firewalls, load balancers, VPNs and more — to connected workloads.)
Desktop Virtualization
Virtualization vs.
Cloud Computing
Although equally buzz-worthy technologies, virtualization and cloud computing are not interchangeable. Virtualization is software that makes computing environments independent of physical infrastructure, while cloud computing is a service that delivers shared computing resources (software and/or data) on demand via the Internet. As complementary solutions, organizations can begin by virtualizing their servers and then moving to cloud computing for even greater agility and self-service.
Server Virtualization
Server virtualization enables multiple operating systems to run on a single physical server as highly efficient virtual machines. Key benefits include:
Greater IT efficiencies
Reduced operating costs
Faster workload deployment
Increased application performance
Higher server availability
Eliminated server sprawl and complexity
