More Servers, Fewer Boxes. Lower Cost, Less Downtime.
More and more businesses are turning to server and desktop virtualization as a way to reduce IT costs, optimize resources, manage risks more effectively, and minimize downtime.
In simple terms, virtualization decouples the software used in a particular technology from the hardware. In the realm of server virtualization, this means that multiple server environments (such as Windows and Linux) can be hosted on a single physical hardware. At CMA, we specialize in introducing the wide-ranging benefits of server virtualization and providing assistance with implementing, maintaining, or managing a cost-effective virtual environment.
CMA is a designated VMware® Professional Partner with advanced training and service accreditations.
Multiple Windows and Linux servers on a single physical host.
Live migration and high availability keep workloads running through maintenance and failures.
Fewer physical servers to buy, power, cool, and maintain.
Four Reasons Businesses Make the Move
Reduce IT Costs
Consolidate many underused physical servers onto a few hosts and cut hardware, power, cooling, and rack space.
Optimize Resources
Allocate CPU, memory, and storage where they’re needed, and reclaim them when they’re not.
Manage Risk
Snapshots, replication, and isolated environments make changes reversible and recovery faster.
Minimize Downtime
Move running workloads between hosts for maintenance, and restart them automatically if a host fails.
