Virtualisation is best described as the ability to get more from your hardware investment. By partitioning single servers you can run multiple instances of operating systems and associated server applications on one server rather than several.
Fewer servers mean you save on space and greater efficiencies create up to 80% energy savings. All of which saves you money and gives your business a greater competitive edge.
Virtualisation is an efficient, flexible and resilient way to scale your resources. NSE's Virtualisation solutions make cost-efficient scaling possible: with a virtualisation solution you get the most out of your servers and you only pay for the resources that you are using at any given time. This solution is perfect for businesses with rapid growth possibilities or with variations in capacity.
NSE are specialists in open source and proprietary virtualisation solutions (Xen / VMware). Additionally, NSE are EMC Storage specialists providing a solid foundation for the virtualisation environment.
Benefits of Virtualisation
- Pay for the capacities of the machines that you use. With the scalability available as outlined above, you can provision for machines as you require today, safe in the knowledge that additional capacity can be added rapidly.
- On-demand computing capacity is possible so you can achieve your performance and capacity needs at a moment's notice.
- Using SAN storage and multiple servers, your virtual servers can be brought up immediately on different physical hardware in the event of hardware maintenance or failure. This rapid recovery of servers keeps you up and running, delivering both high availablilty and unparalleled resilience.
- Snapshots allow increased data protection during your upgrades, providing a real time copy of your machines.
