Virtualization – The Private Cloud
In June, we talked about the different types of clouding computing – the public cloud, the private cloud and the hybrid cloud. This month we’re going to dive into the private cloud.
Did you know that, in most cases, using the traditional one operating system per physical server model only 10% of the systems resources are generally consumed? That’s right, only 10%!
How much did you pay for that single server? How many of them are in your environment? If you need to add another application, what do you do? You go out and buy another server, of course. What if you could get a smaller server environment that can grow on demand, utilize more of the resources you have invested in and have better resiliency? Virtualization provides the platform to accomplish all that and more.
By moving to a virtual environment you can…
- Reduce total costs
- Virtually eliminate planned downtime
- Recover faster from a disaster
- Scale more easily
- Increase fault tolerance
- Have a more stable environment
- Pool available resources for on on-demand priority access for your most important applications
- And more…
Just about any server and desktop platform can be virtualized. Typical consolidation ratios are in the 12:1 range but can be much higher. Learn more about Thrive’s Virtualization Solutions by clicking here or see what your options are by contacting Thrive now for a consolidation assessment.
