What is virtualisation?

Virtualisation means running software within a virtual environment. Virtual environments are created when operating systems and desktop applications are emulated, and don’t run directly on physical hardware. When software is virtualised, you can run several applications and operating systems on one physical server.

Why would I want to go down the virtualisation route?

You can create a more agile infrastructure, reduce the total cost of IT ownership and minimise downtime.

Specific benefits include:

Server consolidation (for example you can run several operating systems on one physical server, so you get the maximum use from your hardware)
Easier software back-up and disaster recovery
Hosting legacy applications, for example ones that need to run on older operating systems
Reduced test and development costs - you get the most from your hardware, plus improved life cycle management and test coverage
Better business continuity - the flexibility of a virtual set-up helps reduce scheduled and unscheduled downtime
Being greener: fewer physical servers means a smaller carbon footprint

And don’t forget, virtualisation can apply to all the elements of your IT infrastructure: servers, operating systems and desktop applications. Deverill offers best of breed virtualisation options that encompass all these areas.
