Is Saving Money Important to You?!
Then let’s talk Virtualization because the benefits of virtualizing your network infrastructure are tremendous
Virtualization
Software to Simulate Hardware!
What is Virtualization? Virtualization is the process of creating a software-based, or virtual, representation of something, such as virtual applications, servers, storage and networks. It is the single most effective way to reduce IT expenses while boosting efficiency and agility for all size businesses.
The Five Types of Virtualization
Server Virtualization
Server virtualization is the most common type of virtualization where many virtual servers run on a single physical server. The virtual servers share the resources of the physical server like the CPU, memory, storage, and networking.
Desktop Virtualization
The virtualization of the desktop, which is also referred to as Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI), is where a desktop operating system (OS), such as Windows 10, runs as a virtual machine on a physical server with other virtual desktops.
Application Virtualization
A virtual application runs on its own “mini” virtual server which is an individual virtual machine that offers isolation from your network. The application runs in what is referred to as a “sandbox”, this is most often used to run tests and even used to browse unsecure websites and also often used to open suspicious attachments that could potentially contain ransomware.
Storage Virtualization
A virtual storage is a group of individual physical storage devices that appears to the network as a single storage device.
Network Virtualization
Virtual networks share the resources of a physical network connection. In a virtual network environment, you can create virtual switches to interconnect virtual devices as if physically connected to a physical switch.
