What Is Server Virtualization?

Server virtualization solutions for businesses allow you to make better use of your server resources. It divides one physical server into several virtual servers, and each of these virtual servers can run its own operating system and applications, acting as an independent server.

For an enterprise-level business, this means you can run multiple virtual systems on a single physical machine. It’s a smart way to maximize your server’s efficiency. Instead of having several underused physical servers, you can consolidate them into a single machine. This consolidation not only saves space but also reduces the cost of hardware and energy.

Keeping up with your business’s IT needs can be a challenging and costly task. Server virtualization is a way to centralize your operations and cut down on expenses. Our team at Brightworks IT focuses on creating virtualization strategies that fit your needs. We take care of every step, allowing you to concentrate on the main aspects of your business. With our virtualization services, you can achieve more with fewer resources, i.e., you can scale more easily. It enables quick and flexible deployment of servers, desktops, and applications, which helps your business grow faster.

It’s noteworthy that virtualization and cloud computing are not the same, although they are related. Virtualization is about creating a virtual version of a server (a virtual machine or a virtual desktop operating system). In contrast, cloud computing is where you can use and store data on virtual servers, usually managed off-site by another company.
