Virtualisation
Installing traditional physical servers would typically require a separate server for each server role. By utilising virtual server
technology (Microsoft’s HyperV or VMWare, for example), the number of physical servers can be greatly reduced as virtual
servers are consolidated on to fewer incidences of physical hardware. Virtualising servers will result in improved resource
utilisation as well as reductions in real estate, power and cooling requirements. In addition to energy saving and lower capital
expenses due to more efficient use of hardware resources, virtualisation provides high availability of resources, increased security,
and improved disaster recovery processes.
A virtualised platform is highly scalable, meaning that adding additional virtual servers as your company grows does not incur the
same project, labour or capital costs as adding additional physical servers. In addition, organisations that deploy a virtualised
environment will also reduce their energy consumption (and thereby reduce their carbon footprint) and improve the effectiveness of
their disaster recovery plan.
