However, only close analysis of possible applications and an estimation of the room possible for improvement will reveal the true potential of this advanced technology. Contact us and our experts will explain how your business can profit from virtualization.


Advantages of Virtualization

Partitioning

• Several applications and operating systems are supported by one single physical system.
• Servers can be consolidated into virtual machines by applying a scale-up or a scale-out architecture.
• Data processing resources are treated as a single pool that can be assigned to virtual machines.

Isolation

• Virtual machines are completely isolated from the server as well as other virtual machines. Other machines will not be affected should one virtual machine crash.
• Data cannot be transferred from virtual machine to another. Applications can only communicate after an adequate configuration.

Encapsulation

• The entire virtual machine environment is saved in a single data file and can easily be secured, moved or copied.
