The majority of
servers are not being utilised anywhere near their capability. IT departments
typically run one operating system on one server, a different application on
another and other applications spanning several servers. This all results in
hardware resources and budgets being wasted through inefficiencies of
technologies.
This briefing
will discuss how through virtualisation of your servers you can gain multiple
benefits to your IT infrastructure providing lower risk, increased server
availability and most importantly it will show you how you can release areas of
your budget previously pigeon holed for server hardware technologies. You will
find out how you can get the most out of your existing server architecture with
minimal disruption or cost.
Benefits of
virtualisation:
-
Multiple applications and
operating systems can be supported within a single physical system -
Virtual machines are
completely isolated from the host machine and other virtual machines. If a
virtual machine crashes, all others are unaffected -
Data does not leak across
virtual machines and applications can only communicate over configured network
connections -
Standardised virtualised
hardware is presented to the application - guaranteeing compatibility
We will be covering the following seven scenarios and show how
you can...
-
Perform zero-downtime maintenance on live systems without interrupting service,
allowing systems maintenance between 8am and 5pm.
-
Develop and test the most complex network server class applications running on
Windows, Linux or Netware on a single desktop
-
Consolidate applications and infrastructure services onto fewer highly scalable,
highly reliable enterprise-class servers
-
Remotely manage servers via Web console or high performance client console
-
Avoid over provisioning to meet service level agreement response times by
managing workloads across distributed servers to optimise utilisation
-
Manage distributed, heterogeneous computing environments as a single pool of
hardware resources
-
Increase quality and reliability of production environments - over 80% of VMware
customers deploy in production environments
