Enterprise virtualisation

Larger companies have adopted virtualisation to reduce costs and power consumption in their own data centres. However enterprise virtualisation is not purely restricted to organisations with their own data centre space. Outsourcing your enterprise virtualisation platform means that you can reduce your infrastructure costs whilst still benefiting from the experience and technical expertise of an experienced managed hosting provider. An enterprise virtualisation solution offers

• Independent server (virtual private server) and hardware layers for added resilience.
• Resource allocated on demand for more efficient use of server resources.
• Multiple operating systems, or versions of the same operating system, running on the same physical servers providing lower cost development environments.
• Simplified disaster recovery environments.

At NetBenefit we can offer either VMware ESX or Microsoft's Hyper-V virtualisation technology.  Our technical team includes experts in both VMware and Hyper-V so we can help you to make the best decision for your business requirements in terms of performance, resilience and security. 

Each enterprise virtualisation solution is designed specifically for your requirements but typically would include a choice of either dedicated or shared storage, multiple redundant paths via either iSCSI or fibre channel to meet your data throughput requirements and a choice of backup solutions.
