Server Virtualisation Bundle

Server virtualisation involves running multiple servers on one physical server. One common approach is to use software at the base level of the server (known as a hypervisor or a virtual machine monitor) to divide one physical into multiple virtual environments. Recent improvements in server hardware capabilities allow many virtual servers to share the common hardware resources (processor, memory etc.) of the one physical server.

Some of the benefits of server virtualisation are as follows:

Reduces the number of physical servers, lowering hardware purchase costs and ongoing hardware maintenance.
Fewer servers reduce power usage, air conditioning requirements and space to house the equipment.
Faster implementation times for new servers.
The ability to deploy different operating systems on the same hardware, for example different version of Windows Server and Linux.
Improved business continuity through the ability to quickly recover from server failures.

indepth IT Solutions have experience in designing and implementing server virtualisation solutions using industry leadings products.

Complete Server Virtualisation Solution
We have developed an infrastructure solution suitable for small to medium businesses that have four (4) or more servers. The diagram below illustrates the server virtualisation solution.

The solution offers the benefits of server virtualisation listed above and combined with the benefits below, provides a complete virtualisation solution.

Redundancy
The server infrastructure solution has built-in high availability and fault tolerance. A hardware component failure will not cause an outage.

Scalability
Additional hardware components can be simply added to the server infrastructure (for example more memory or disk space) giving capacity for more servers.

Advanced Backup
Included in the solution is a disk based backup, which allows data backup down to every 15 minutes. Large amounts of backups can be retained on a network attached storage (NAS) device, reducing data recovery times.

Offsite backups are conducted off the disk backup device, allowing backups to disk or tape to be conducted 24 hours a day without impacting the “live” data.

Can your business survive an extended IT system outage?
