Virtual Server Hosting

Server virtualisation technology allows multiple, independent operating systems to run “virtually” on a single server, making the most of each physical server’s capacity. In effect, it creates multiple, independent computers on each server. For example, instead of running 10 servers at 20 percent capacity each -- and just one or a small handful of applications on each server -- virtualisation enables many businesses to use only two or three servers, each at close to maximum capacity.

Eliminating physical machinery reduces power consumption – both the power to run the servers and the power to cool the server room. It also simplifies maintenance while keeping the same amount of computing power. When implemented correctly, server virtualisation also frees up financial and human resources for more strategic initiatives. Consolidating resources through virtualisation can reduce server-related costs by an estimated 50 to 70 percent.
