Cloud enabled servers for small business
We have a great deal of experience in specifying and implementing server solutions to run both our own and third party specialist application software.
Often a software vendor prefers to work with a local IT service provider like us when additional server hardware is required – they can then concentrate on supporting their own software, and we become the local team looking after the equipment that’s running it.
Please contact us with your requirement – we’d be happy to help.
Microsoft Windows Hyper-V
Server Virtualisation
Server virtualisation allows your business to run multiple servers on one physical computer, which translates into more efficient use of resources.
Although there is some overhead, today’s processors are generally more powerful than they need to be and often sit idle anyway. You aren’t likely to notice much of a performance hit for most applications.
Hyper-V is included with all current versions of Windows Server, meaning you don’t need to buy any additional software. Furthermore, if you purchase your software from Microsoft using volume licensing, it’s possible to run the host server with up to an additional 2 virtual servers from a single license, at no additional cost.
A large proportion of our clients looking for server solutions now use virtualisation and it has proven to be a very cost effective method for maximising server capability at the minimum of cost – particularly for applications that would typically have required 2 or more servers in the past.
