Why Virtual Servers?
Data centre consolidation using server virtualisation is a significant world-wide trend.
Optimise your Usage
Most enterprise-level servers are specified at peak resource demand (memory and CPU resources). On average however, these resources are not used and this results in wasted resources and money. However server virtualisation allows servers to be operated at the optimum cost and resource level, based on the flexibility to immediately upgrade when demand requires this.
Be Green
Power consumption reduction – the environmentally friendly alternative - Virtual servers can be highly tailored in terms of configuration and performance. Resources can be applied and removed in real time. This provides the opportunity to not only optimise the cost of a virtual server to a specific business application, but to reduce the environmental impact through reduction in power consumption. This in turn makes virtual server hosting an eco-friendly choice.
Remove Bottlenecks
Further benefits include being able to isolate and optimise performance for smaller groups of applications. Virtualisation also allows for easier isolation of performance bottlenecks by separating out applications on different servers.
Add Redundancy
In addition, virtualisation allows applications to be split-off into smaller server configurations in a cost effective manner, rather than having one large server for many applications. This provides additional redundancy and resilience for your application.
When should I use virtual servers?
Virtual server hosting services are ideal for the following:
- Any web-facing application, including websites, company extranets
- Company-wide application rollouts where central location of the application is ideal. (E.g.: centralised sales management or CRM system being accessed by multiple users in multiple states)
- Any outsourced application requirement using Windows Server or Linux servers
- Backup and Disaster Recovery servers
In addition, RightServ provides the benefit of having a single contract and single point of contact for delivery of all these services.
