Today businesses are under pressure to get better reliability and efficiency from their computer systems yet their physical machines are aging and facing higher demands from network users. Finding ways to improve performance, and distribute computing tasks over more machines all while reducing IT expenses seems impossible.

Server Virtualization is a method of running multiple virtual machines, all with independent operating systems, on a single physical computer. Imagine that you are using 20 Servers at your office and implement virtualization correctly. The end result would be that you would be able to run half as many servers but wouldn’t lose any functionality. In fact, many who have implemented Virtualization correctly have experienced improved performance across the board.

Benefits of Server Virtualization:

• You can reduce hardware maintenance costs, energy costs and operating expenses because of a lower number of physical servers. 
• Increased space utilization efficiency in your server room or data center.
• You prevent one application from impacting another application when upgrades or changes are made.
• You can develop a standard virtual server build that can be easily duplicated which will speed up server deployment. 
• You can deploy multiple operating system technologies on a single hardware platform (i.e. Windows Server 2003, Linux, Windows 2000, etc).
