Are you frustrated by an unwieldy network and unstable performance? A virtual operating system can resolve those issues and improve data backup and recovery.
Get the picture?
If you’re unfamiliar with how virtualization works, think of it in relation to picture frames. You can print a photo and insert it in a frame or you can load lots of images on a memory stick and display them in a digital frame. The digital option enables you to easily add new photos and you can remove the memory stick for use with another device. When you apply this thinking to virtualized operating systems, you can see how it simplifies network management.
A virtual operating system allows your network administrator to easily create new servers, allocate computing resources to improve performance, and transfer virtual servers between physical platforms – all from a single console. Our experience is that, due to the stability and efficiency of virtual operating systems, servers perform better with fewer resources and are more stable than their physical counter parts.
Top reasons to adopt virtualization
According to VMware, a leading virtualization company, small and midsize businesses (SMBs) are rapidly adopting virtualization. Here are the top reasons:
- improve server usage
- reduce or contain the number of servers
- improve security
- improve availability and uptime
- improve server and application management
- improve data backup and recovery
If you are running two or more physical servers and are considering an upgrade, consider a network architecture based on a virtual operating system. The technology is surprising affordable and the benefits are too significant to ignore.
