In essence, virtualization lets you transform hardware into software. Software is used to transform or “virtualize” the hardware resources of a server—including the CPU, RAM, hard disk and network controller—to create a fully functional virtual machine that can run its own operating system and applications just like a “real” computer.
Multiple virtual machines share hardware resources without interfering with each other so that you can safely run several operating systems and applications at the same time on a single computer.
Cloud services from VISI can include building a private VMware cloud to provide multiple ESX host servers dedicated and configured to your needs. With centralized shared storage via a NetApp SAN, VISI is able to offer the full spectrum of VMware features such as high availability (HA), distributed resource scheduling (DRS) and VMotion.
High availability
The managed hosting environment includes multiple servers running VMware ESX. Should a physical server crash, VMware’s HA component allows for the virtual machines to reboot themselves on another physical server, optimizing system uptime.
Move Servers automatically
VMotion moves a virtual machine from one physical host to another without restarting the virtual machine, providing the capacity for higher availability. Distributed Resource Scheduling moves the virtual machines with VMotion based on pre-determined rules, customized for your business.
As an experienced VMware Partner, VISI has the knowledge, skills and the staff to support and run a 24x7 virtualized private cloud environment. Our expertise leaves you free to concentrate on your core business.
