Virtualisation

By virtualising your business means you can cut back on your operating cost while maximising the most out of your IT infrastructure. If you implement an efficient system, you can reduce hardware, maintenance, support and power consumption; while increasing productivity and workflow.

​

At times people underrate Efficiency. In today modernise ways of working, any organisation operating in an inefficient manner will be wasting resources. Such organisation can use virtualisation to increase their efficiency. If a business has a huge amount of hardware it generally needs regular maintenance and support on a much bigger scale. If a business has many desktop systems, for example 1 per user, all of them will also require regular, individual updates and app installations, imagine if the business is huge. Soon the business’s hardware and software maintenance end up not just time-consuming, but wasteful in terms of energy consumption, human resources and operating cost.

Virtualisation works by cutting down on physical servers and desktops and allowing the same virtual machine versions to run off single machines using virtualisation software, resulting in a streamlined and lower-maintenance infrastructure setup .

At Jobis IT solutions we offer different types of virtualisation, server virtualisation, desktop virtualisation, and application virtualisation and we have expertise in both HyperV and VMWare virtualisation technologies.

Server Virtualisation

This is the process of to consolidating large number servers on a single physical machine as virtual machines. This is a good solution for any business running large number of separate servers yet not utilising them to their full capacity. For example you have a business running 15 separate servers each running at 15% capacity, all separated for different functional use.

With today's virtualisation technologies, this doesn’t need to happen, it is possible to run more than 20 virtual servers from one single physical server, not using much of its storage and without wasting too much resource. The result will be that businesses can treat each virtual server as a stand-alone entity and interact with it as such, while still reaping the benefits of cutting down on costs for hardware, energy consumption, and rigorous ad-hoc maintenance with the ability of remote connection.

Desktop Virtualisation

In any organisation where every employee has their own individual workstation, upgrades, repairs and configurations can increase quiet significantly, therefore it will be cost effective to consolidate and virtualise the desktop environment. On your internal network it is possible to set up thin clients, all configured and linked to one central physical machine, operating as separate virtual machines.

We can offer you virtualisation technologies that will allow you to access your virtual work stations remotely from home or anywhere internet connection is available. The advantage to this is that when any app and system updates or security fixes need to be applied, they can all be installed onto the main core physical machine, for easy and uniform access by the clients virtual work station. This saves a lot of time and hassle compare to doing it on a non-virtualise environment, and ultimately with cost saving as well.­

Application Virtualisation

We can design and implement application virtualisation technology that can help save your business time and costs for applications running on multiple machines. Virtualise applications run on a physical machine (server). End users view and interact with their applications over a network via a remote display protocol.

The virtualise applications are completely integrated with the user’s desktop so that they appear and behave the same as local applications, through technology known as seamless windows. The server-based operating system instances that run virtualise applications can be shared with other users, or the application can be running on its own OS instance on the server as a VDI desktop. A constant network connection must be in place at all time in order for a remote application to work.

Our experts in this field are well-experienced in virtualisation solutions and will be able to plan and advice on customised solutions to fit your business or organisation.
