• What is virtualization?

  There are many types of virtualization out there today. The virtualization that we're focused on is hardware virtualization. This allows you to have a single physical server and install multiple virtual machines (VM) on it. Each one of these VMs is built and configured just as if it were on it's own physical hardware.

• Benefits of Virtualization

  The primary benefit to virtaulization is saving money. First it saves money by buying fewer computers. That in turn saves you money by using less electricity. Less computers also requires less cooling and saves you again with less electricity used by your air conditioner. Another benefit is flexibility. Projects are not delayed while waiting for a new computer to be purchased. The time it takes to build and install a new server is reduced. With some additional advanced features it adds high availability, redundancy and load balancing.
