Virtualization - Providing Applications and Services virtually

What is virtualization?

In the area of virtualization, hardware functions are simulated with the help of dedicated virtualization software. This allows companies to create virtual environments on servers or workstations.

These virtual machines (VMs) can run applications and provide services. They each have their own operating systems, even though they are all physically on the same system. With this virtualization, existing capacities in companies can be used much more efficiently and cost-effectively than before.

Keyword Virtualisation - What are the benefits for businesses?

Modern companies not only need to be able to offer services flexibly, they also need to work economically with all other requirements. Virtualization makes this easier in several ways:

• Better utilization of server capacities

  Most server systems only use about 10% of their total capacity. In some cases, however, they use half of the power needed in normal operation.

  With virtualization, companies can accommodate additional applications and services on one system and save valuable system resources such as computing power. By centrally managing the entire storage space, administration efforts are also streamlined. Virtualization reduces energy consumption and allows you to make better use of resources without compromising reliability and service.
• Fast VM Setup

  Thanks to a virtualized structure, your company can react quickly to changing requirements. Virtual servers (VMs) can be quickly deployed on existing hardware without delaying operations or wasting time on complex deployment processes.

  With virtualization, your IT remains flexible, saves resources by not having to perform installation and configuration processes, and remains technically up-to-date, ensuring that all services are available at all times.
• Easy provisioning of resources across servers

  Reduce costs with a flexible IT structure that can be quickly adapted to current needs. Computationally-intensive tasks can be distributed across multiple servers, improving overall hardware utilization.

  Virtual machines receive additional resources or are moved from one physical server to another without disrupting ongoing operations. Resources then become available for other tasks.
• A wide range of options for backups/disaster recovery

  The failure of IT services can have serious consequences for companies, such as lost productivity or lost revenue. If one virtual machine fails, a different one can automatically take over. This makes backup and disaster recovery much easier to implement.

  As a result, the concept of virtualization is ideal for high availability requirements, and even if the entire server fails, backups can be started immediately on other servers. Test environments with copies of the production environment can be provided just as easily.

With the correct virtualization platform, all these virtualization options can be used to their full advantage to suit your business processes. When it comes to the virtualization of Windows or Linux systems, companies benefit at any rate from lower TCOs, excellent performance, and comprehensive data security with the help of tailor-made virtualization software.
