Virtualisation

Optimize processing, streamline actions, and automation of tasks

Virtualisation Services

In the last decade, the advancement in technology has led to the increasing use of technological devices by businesses in optimizing processing, streamlining actions, and automating tasks. Today, IT managers are also searching for solutions that help them increase efficiency and reach greater heights while reducing costs. This is precisely what Virtualisation does. It offers so many benefits to businesses interested in adopting its use of a virtual system. Read on to find out all you need to know about Virtualisation.

What is Virtualisation?

What is Virtualisation?

Virtualisation is the act of using a virtual machine (VM) rather than physical computer resources. It is a technology that allows users to create multiple simulated environments from a single physical system.This implies that a single physical system can deliver multiple workloads simultaneously, with each workload having access to its allocated resources.

Virtualisation is costsaving; all you need is just a single physical machine that is made to act multiple, thereby saving you costs of having more network systems, workstations, servers, multiple operating systems and so on.The proliferation of systems offered by Virtualisation has made it possible to be used in a wide range of business applications today.

How Does Virtualisation Work?

Here, an application is separated from its underlying software or hardware. It uses a hypervisor which is a thin software layer, to reproduce the function of the associated hardware, thereby creating multiple virtual machines on a single physical system. Although the Virtual Machine’s performance may not be the same as the operating system on the main physical hardware, it is enough for the system to function effectively.

What are the types of Virtualisation?

Network Virtualisation

Network virtualisation involves splitting available bandwidths into separate channels. Here, the true complexity of the network is masked, while the network is broken into manageable parts that allow for quick changes to be made at any time.

Desktop Virtualisation

Desktop virtualisation allows users to access a virtual desktop infrastructure and operating systems remotely using a thin client. A thin client is a lowbudget endpoint computing system that makes use of a network connection from a central server. With desktop virtualisation, access to virtual desktops and servers becomes easy and better secure eliminating the need of physical computers.

Application Virtualisation

Application virtualisation allows applications to run in a virtual form with no access to the operating system. With app virtualization, a Windows application can efficiently run on a Linux system.

Storage Virtualisation

Storage virtualization helps companies to cut down costs and effectively utilize virtual their storage devices and systems.

Data Virtualisation

Data virtualisation involves the manipulation and retrieval of data without access to the physical location of the data storage. It delivers access to unified business data in realtime and allows for fast decisionmaking.

Server Virtualisation

In server virtualisation, server resources are hidden from the user. Information like the number of servers, and users’ identity, are also hidden.
Users are not allowed to manage or understand server complexity. Instead, the software is used in partitioning the server into a virtual environment to access a virtual server reducing the need of a physical server.

What are the benefits of Virtualisation

Benefits of Virtualisation
Cost-saving

One of the primary benefits of Virtualisation to small and largescale businesses is the potential for cost savings through the use of a virtual machine. There may be a high cost of investment associated with buying and setting up new computing resources including hardware or software. However, Virtualisation is cheaper than traditional computing in the long run. Virtualisation gives room for reduced maintenance costs.

Improved Productivity

Virtualisation also leads to improved productivity. Projects capable of taking longer times in a physical environment can now be completed in minutes with Virtual machines.

Resource efficiency and minimal downtime

With server virtualisation, it is possible to efficiently run different applications on a single physical computer with minimal or no downtime.

Fast backup and disaster recovery

With Virtualisation, data can be automatically backed up on virtual machines. This makes disaster recovery easier.

Cloud migration is easier

Virtualisation also makes cloud migration easier. Virtual machines can be deployed from a data center to a cloudbased infrastructure in realtime with no interruption.

Faster Deployment

There are so many virtual tools available at the moment, which makes the process of deployment shorter and simple so you can see the returns much quicker than expected.

What are the Differences between Virtualisation and Cloud Computing?

In the first instance, Virtualisation and cloud computing may seem similar. However, they differ in so many ways. While Virtualisation replaces a typical component such as a server, network, or data with a virtual one, cloud infrastructure involves the use of multiple computers to send out data through a wireless connection network.

Both Virtualisation and cloud resources work hand in hand to help businesses increase agility, scalability, efficiency and focus on improving productivity. In addition, Virtualisation plays an allimportant role in cloud computing. This is because resources that have been virtualised can be transitioned to the cloud quickly.
