Server Virtualisation - Optimise your data centre

IT systems have revolutionised the way businesses are run, but they’ve also created a difficult paradox: the more applications you need, the more complex it is to keep them running.

The average company has too many physical servers – some old, some new – running all kinds of business applications as well as basic services such as Web servers, file servers and print servers. Some servers run old software, some run new software, and all are consuming massive amounts of power.

Server virtualisation combines the functions of a dozen or more existing systems into just one physical server. There’s no slowdown in performance – in fact, newer virtualised servers usually run faster than old ones – but you will notice the extra floor space, reduced power consumption, and lower demand for ancillary services such as air conditioning.

Virtualisation also plays a key role in minimising your company’s carbon footprint, since reductions in power consumption directly reduce the amount of greenhouse gases produced in running your data centre.

Server virtualisation is every bit as revolutionary as it sounds, which explains why it is top priority list of most companies. Let Netpros audit your existing server environment and demonstrate how much you could save through virtualisation.
