Virtual systems are software-based emulations of computers that run on the top of physical hardware. They provide a variety of advantages for your business, including IT efficiency along with cost savings and security.
Virtual machines are ideal for testing new software, deploy Wikis or Jabber IM services and make backup images of your current system for quicker recovery in the event of disaster. Virtual machines can be replicated or transferred to other physical servers in high availability configurations, reducing downtime.
Virtualizing multiple systems could reduce server hardware, maintenance and energy costs. IT personnel can spend less time performing maintenance tasks, such as updating software, because the virtual infrastructure is managed by a central platform. This increased efficiency allows your team to focus on strategic projects that move your company forward.
Improved Data Security and Disaster Recovery
VMs are hardware-independent, meaning that they can be moved from one physical server to another just as easily as moving files on your desktop or laptop. This is useful for situations where the developer experience efficient collaboration using innovative board software of an older piece of software ceases business or is no longer supported by the original manufacturer of the equipment.
The type of hypervisor that is used in a virtualized system can determine the success or failure of its management. A bare-metal virtualization hypervisor such as VMware vSphere, Microsoft Hyper-V or Oracle VM Virtualization gives you more control and independence from the host operating system. A hosted hypervisor, such as KVM, (built into Linux kernel), passes VM requests to the host OS which can impede VM performance.
