Virtualisation
By harnessing the latest technology, Aspen can offer their clients the ability to pool their existing hardware resources, creating a flexible and cost effective environment. Virtualisation doesn’t just cut operational expenses and capital outlay but can give your business an agile server environment that can recover quickly and easily from system failures ensuring effective business continuity with total failover capabilities.
What is Virtualisation?
Virtualisation allows multiple instances of an operating system to be used on one server. So, instead of using several servers to support your business, you can use just one. With the reduction in power consumption coupled with the lower capital outlay, massive savings can be made over the course of the server’s lifetime.
This technology has been used in large data-centres or enterprise infrastructures for quite a while now. It has only been with the increase in performance of smaller servers and the change of focus of the software companies that has enabled the smaller businesses to take advantage of this exciting technology.
Benefits of Virtualisation
The potential of virtualisation is vast. However, ensuring that a business doesn’t move too fast in this direction is important. As with all major business changes, virtualisation should be deployed using a staged approach. When done correctly, however the benefits are huge.
Aspen are using a proven methodology for a phased approach to virtualisation for small and medium businesses focusing primarily on commercial value.
