Virtualisation from Embrionic


Virtualisation can be described as using software to emulate physical machines as virtual machines, allowing one or more virtual machines to run on a single physical server, but in reality it is much more than that.

"Use of virtualisation technologies in servers will dramatically improve server utilisation rates, increase server flexibility and reduce the overall spending required for servers."

Gartner Group


Benefits of Virtualisation

Virtualisation enables businesses to perform production server consolidation, stop server sprawl, increase recoverability and decrease downtime for critical business applications. Virtualisation enables you to migrate legacy applications and operating systems onto new hardware without needing to rebuild the server or redeploy the application.

Key Issues:
  • Too much time spent on managing existing infrastructure
  • Legacy hardware platforms
  • Under utilised servers
  • High hardware maintenance costs
  • Need to reduce power and cooling costs
  • Need to reduce server sprawl
  • Lack of agility when deploying new infrastructure
  • Inconsistent approach to disaster recovery

Market Players

The virtualisation market place is dominated by two software vendors, VMWare and Microsoft (Click here for information on MS Releases). Embrionic have worked extensively with products from both vendors to identify the best way to bring the benefits of virtualisation our customers. As improvements in hardware (such as the new Intel and AMD virtualisation chipsets) and software happen, Embrionic will evaluate, test and identify the ways in which the improvements can help your business.
