Server Virtualization

Server virtualization is a method of partitioning a physical server into multiple "virtual" servers such that each has the appearance and capabilities of running on its own dedicated physical machine. Each virtual server can run its own full operating system/applications and each virtual server can be independently managed.

What are the benefits of Server Virtualization?

There are many benefits to consolidating the number of physical servers in your environment by taking advantage of server virtualization technologies:

  • Reduce hardware maintenance costs with lower number of physical servers.
  • Server consolidation creates better space utilization efficiencies in your server room or data center.
  • By having each application within its own "virtual server", you can 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 and 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).
  • Lower overall total costs of ownership for your IT infrastructure.

Mitigate Virtual Sprawl In Your Environment

Statistics indicate that the average server is only 20-percent utilized.

Gaining insight into your virtual environment is critical when it comes to capacity planning, budgeting and needs assessment. By helping out customers maintain a practical approach to their virtual environment, we can help reduce the drivers that lead to governance issues in virtual environments.

Our unique set of tools allows us to analyze interdependencies between resources in heterogeneous, distributed environments. These unique analytics produce data center level metrics that enable IT operations teams to better communicate, collaborate and manage service delivery.

Our tools dynamically models and analyzes across IT virtualization layers and infrastructure elements (virtual and physical, server and storage) to understand how application workloads, utilization levels and resources interact bringing much needed infrastructure-wide intelligence to the data center.

Through proper governance, Nomerel can help you increase your VM densities with performance assurance, reclaim server and storage assets, forecast hardware purchases while improving staff visibility and productivity.
