Products - Virtualization

  
 

Virtualization is a technology that quite a few businesses are heading towards. It allows you to consolidate your servers’; save on environment costs, space, and allows for less downtime and quicker disaster recovery.

VMware is the company who distributes one of the most used Virtualization environments in the world. CCG is proud to be a VMware Professional Partner. CCG Consulting has implemented VMware in a few our clients for consolidation of servers and disaster recovery.

The cost savings for medium sized businesses, as well as the continuing availability of the servers is quite impressive.

VMware's concept is that Hardware Resources are not used to its peak on most daily processing. With VMware you can operate a few virtual servers on the one physical server, this allows for resources to be better utilised and shared amongst the virtual servers; resources are adjusted automatically between the servers when required or resources can be reserved for an image.

The diagram below illustrates that multiple Server Operating systems can operate on the one Server Hardware. Consolidating your servers can save you hardware costs as well as environment costs such as power, space, and cabling complexity, and most of all money.

 

The diagram below illustrates the Scenario where one of the Servers has a hardware failure. In this instance VMware automatically starts/continues operation of the Server on another Server Hardware with very minimal downtime.

 A few of the many advantages of a VMware environment are:

• Server Consolidation
• Reduced Costs for Ongoing Operation
• Increased Support and Protection for Continuity and Disaster Recovery for Servers
• Advanced Resource Management and Load Balancing across Servers
• Easy to setup Test Environments
• Ability to Recover complete servers off site in hours rather than days
