Virtualisation
Savantis offer virtualisation services which is a technique for hiding the physical characteristics of computing resources from the way in which other systems, applications, or end users interact with those resources. This includes making a single physical resource (such as a server, an operating system, an application, or storage device) appear to function as multiple logical resources, or it can include making multiple physical resources (such as storage devices or servers) appear as a single logical resource. What benefits could virtualisation offer you:
Server consolidation
Using virtualisation technology (specifically the virtual machine) to consolidate many physical servers into fewer servers hosting virtual machines. The physical server is therefore 'transformed' into a virtual machine guest residing on a virtual machine host system.
Disaster recovery
Virtual machines can be used as "hot standby" environments for physical production servers. This changes the classical "backup-and-restore" philosophy by allowing for backup images to "boot" into live virtual machines that can take over workload for the production server that is experiencing an outage.
Testing and training
Hardware virtualisation can give root access to a virtual machine. This can be very useful such as in kernel development and operating system courses.
Savantis currently use virtualisation techniques listed above for a number of internal and external projects. If you would like to talk more about how virtualisation could save you money or see how we use it please do not hesitate to contact us..
