What Is Virtualisation?

Virtualisation separates computing resources from the physical hardware on which they run. This allows multiple virtual servers or environments to operate on fewer physical machines while remaining logically independent.

Our Virtualisation Services

Virtualisation Assessments

We review your existing servers, applications, capacity, performance requirements and growth plans to determine whether virtualisation is appropriate.

Virtual Server Deployment

Plan and deploy virtual servers designed around your workloads, security requirements and availability needs.

Virtual Infrastructure Management

Ongoing monitoring, maintenance, updates, capacity management and performance optimisation for virtual environments.

Physical-to-Virtual Migration

Where appropriate, existing physical server workloads can be migrated into a virtual environment with careful planning and testing.

Backup and Disaster Recovery

Virtual environments can be integrated with reliable backup and recovery strategies to improve business continuity.

Hybrid Infrastructure

Combine virtualised on-premise resources with cloud services where this provides the right balance of control, flexibility and cost.

Benefits of Virtualisation

Better utilisation of physical hardware
Reduced server sprawl
Simplified management and maintenance
Improved scalability
Faster provisioning of new server resources
Stronger backup and recovery options
Potential reduction in infrastructure and energy costs

Virtualisation and the Cloud

Virtualisation and cloud computing are related but not identical. Virtualisation improves the way computing resources are divided and managed, while cloud services provide resources through a flexible service model. Many organisations use both as part of a hybrid strategy.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is server virtualisation?

Server virtualisation allows multiple virtual servers to run on shared physical hardware, with each virtual server operating as an independent environment.

Can virtualisation reduce hardware costs?

It can reduce the number of physical servers required and improve hardware utilisation, although the financial benefit depends on the existing environment and workload requirements.

Can you support existing virtual servers?

Yes. Uthanda ICT can assist with monitoring, maintenance, troubleshooting, optimisation, backup and capacity planning for existing virtual environments.

Is virtualisation suitable for small businesses?

It can be suitable where a business runs multiple server workloads or needs greater flexibility and resilience. An assessment helps determine whether it is the right approach.

What is the difference between virtualisation and cloud computing?

Virtualisation is a technology for creating virtual computing environments, while cloud computing is a service model for delivering scalable computing resources. They are often used together.
