Virtual Machine technology has been around for a number of years but it is only in the last year or so that its adoption in mainstream computing has taken off, and for good reason.
Virtual machine technology enables multiple operating systems to run concurrently on a single physical machine, and there are a number of scenarios where you might want to do this:
• |
Consolidation — move a number of older servers to a single more powerful hardware platform |
• |
QA/Test
Environments — perfect for testing patches and new applications before deployment to production |
• |
Disaster
Recovery — keep a copy of the production environment in a virtual machine that can be deployed on almost any hardware |
Many businesses can reap a benefit from virtual machine technology. Talk to us about how it might help your business.
