Server Virtualization
What are virtual servers and why are they important? Simply put,, using virtual servers provides a method for running multiple windows machines (essentially as a windows program) using a single server.
New technology is hard to keep up with, especially when it involves more space, time, and management. Virtualization is a flexible tool that allows you to move server workloads around so you can always have the optimum performance out of each one. Our virtual servers help save space and money and don’t use up more servers, computers, or people.
When you sign up with Full Spectrum Computer Services’ virtualization services, you can expect:
- Reduced costs, going green– With virtualization solutions, you will be able to stop buying servers and optimize the ones you have, thus reducing electric costs and server costs significantly.
- Faster application and computer performance– Programs and files will load faster, resulting in more work time.
- Peace of mind with unexpected problems– Disasters happen, but you can be ready to get your network back online with a simple recovery program.
Microsoft Hyper-V Virtual Servers
Server Virtualization is an important part of doing business with modern technology. Using virtual machines that have been abstracted from their physical counterparts can provide benefits such as decreased capital and operational costs, and improved workplace efficiency. By effectively leveraging virtualization technologies to your advantage with Microsoft Hyper-V and VMware, your organization can ensure smooth operations.
Microsoft’s virtualization software, Hyper-V, is a hypervisor that allows your organization to create and host virtual machines, like desktops and servers, on x86-64 systems. These systems can then be exposed to your computing infrastructure through your network, effectively allowing your team to access mission-critical information, cloud-based applications, and even a full virtual desktop infrastructure, without running the information locally on their own workstations or thin clients.
VMware Virtual Servers
Server Virtualization with VMware allows your business to create virtual machines, like servers and desktops, and host them in an online environment. You can then connect your business’s workstations and thin clients to them. A simple user interface means that your organization can easily add, remove, and delete virtual machines as the need arises.
Virtualization = Money Saved!
When you virtualize your servers and workstations using Hyper-V or VMware, you are essentially abstracting the software from the physical component, allowing you to store the software and deploy it through a virtual environment. This means that you no longer have to rely on multiple servers to host all of your data and applications. This naturally leads to a decrease in operational costs, like electricity and air conditioning, that might be required to optimize the functionality of your hardware.
Leverage Virtual Servers and Virtualizatioon
There are plenty of other reasons why virtual machines are a valuable investment, but virtualization solutions practically speak for themself. By using Hyper-V or VMware to take full advantage of your organization’s technology, your business can get a leg-up on its competition.

What is virtualization?
Virtualization means creating a virtual version of IT assets. Virtualization uses software to simulate the existence of hardware and create a virtual computer system. It enables multiple virtual machines to run on a single piece of hardware.
What can be virtualized?
Networks, servers, applications, computers, and storage devices are just a few of the technologies that can be virtualized. Here are examples of how your workplace can benefit from virtualizing:
- Application virtualization allows multiple copies of an application to be distributed from a single physical server
- Desktop virtualization enables several desktop machines to run on one physical server
- Server virtualization allows numerous virtual machines to run on a single physical server
How can virtualization benefit my business?
Virtualizing enables IT assets to run at peak performance at a lesser cost.
Virtualization reduces capital expenditure on physical hardware. The solution allows companies to use virtual infrastructure, rather than physical hardware, to run software. Consolidating resources means less hardware is required and assets are fully utilized.
Virtualization cost savings also come from its ability to reduce operating costs associated with data center storage space, power, heating, and cooling that are essential in keeping hardware running optimally.
In addition to enhancing cash flow, one of the most sought-after reasons for virtualizing IT infrastructure is avoiding downtime. Consolidating computing resources means if one IT asset fails, there’s a backing of technology ready to act as failover support. With high availability, businesses save on time and funds required to bring operations back up to speed.
