Whats the benefit of server virtualisation?
Well, you know the scenario. The server goes down hosting your emails and files…and suddenly nobody can get any work done. You can’t even use email to let everybody know that you are working as hard as you can to get this fixed and phoning you every five minutes to see how much longer this is going to go on isn’t helping. Now imagine the scenario. You have a virtual server for email and a virtual server for file storage. The email server goes down – your staff can keep working and saving their files in Word and Excel and there is a lot less panic while you work out what needs to happen to get email back up again. Or, the application server goes down. You work hard getting it back up again while keeping your people informed via email. Everybody’s happy – they feel like they have been kept in the loop and while you get things working they’ve been able to continue to be productive using email.
