Server Virtualisation
Server virtualisation has for several years provided the foundation for efficient server operation in data centres and corporate branch offices. The consolidation of services onto virtualisation hosts leads to an easily managed and cost-optimised operation. Through the high-availability solutions integrated into virtualisation technology (for example VMware HA or Windows server virtualisation with Microsoft Hyper-V Cluster Technology), you achieve a higher service availability.
Simply put, virtualisation generally refers to the emulation of actual physical hardware components through software solutions. Physical interfaces such as network cards, storage or processors are emulated using virtualisation software.
The hypervisor forms and manages the virtualisation layer as a core component. In classic server virtualisation, the type 1 hypervisor of the various systems plays the main role. This is characterised by running directly at the hardware level, without any additional operating system layer.
The currently leading solutions for virtualisation servers are:
Acropolis (AHV)
VMware vSphere
Microsoft Hyper-V
We are happy to assist you at any time with the planning and selection of the right virtualisation system for your data centre. In addition, we work with you to develop the right datacenter design, perfectly tailored to your needs.
Even more efficient with hyper-converged systems
Hyper-converged systems offer enhanced efficiency and cost reduction. The combination of server virtualisation and storage clusters on commodity servers (standard x86 server hardware) enables consolidated server operation both in individual branch offices and in data centres.
Advantages of server virtualisation
Due to the numerous advantages resulting from the virtualisation of servers, the trend is clearly moving away from classic network technology with physical servers and data centres. A static infrastructure is less flexible and significantly more complex to administer. You also need to purchase more hardware, which in turn generates higher ongoing operational costs.
Server capacities must also be provided with a virtualised solution. However, you can expand them much more flexibly (as required) and, due to the expanded functionality of virtualisation technologies, use them much more efficiently for high availability.
In this way, hardware that is not fully utilised in static operation is better used. Since you achieve higher performance and need to purchase fewer physical devices, you save additional costs. In addition, operating costs and administrative effort are correspondingly lower.
Virtualised servers:
Own data centre or hosted data centre?
You can operate virtualised servers both in your own data centre and hosted. If you would like to outsource administration, the hosted solution is a particularly convenient option, as you do not have to worry about the hardware itself. You can expand capacities as required, which are billed monthly (depending on the plan). Unlike with cloud hosting, your resources can be housed separately and are therefore not in the cloud. This makes complete sense, particularly with regard to data protection and access restrictions.
