Sysnify is committed to helping organizations to build or improve their business applications (from Enterprise Relationship Management to Customer Relationship Management), breaking down the barriers between their information systems and connecting their applications with those of their business partners.     

Virtualization

Virtualization allows multiple virtual machines, with heterogeneous operating systems, to run in isolation, side-by-side, on the same physical machine. Each virtual machine has its own set of virtual hardware (CPU, RAM, Network Interface Card, CDROM, etc.) upon which an operating system and applications are loaded. The operating system sees consistent, normalized hardware regardless of the actual physical hardware components.

Virtual machines are encapsulated into files, making it possible to rapidly save copy and provision a virtual machine. Full systems (fully configured applications, operating systems, BIOS and virtual hardware) can be moved within seconds from one physical server to another with zero-downtime.

Why Virtualization? 

  • Server Consolidation 

As enterprises grow, IT organizations must rapidly add computing capacity, often in the form of new servers with disparate operating environments. The resulting server sprawl is costly in terms of both the new servers and the people needed to operate, manage and upgrade them.

Servers running IT infrastructure applications (file and print servers, directory infrastructure, web servers, WIN/DHCP/DNS servers) represent the majority of Intel Architecture server sprawl. Although most of these servers are only utilized 10% to 15%, they are each dedicated to a single application due to architectural security and compatibility issues.

Managing, patching, and securing these servers takes valuable time. In addition, the proliferation of physical servers drives up operational costs for facilities, power and cooling. Because of their low server utilization due to low CPU and I/O requirements, IT Infrastructure servers are prime candidates for virtualization and consolidation.

By consolidating physical systems in the data center onto servers with virtualization software, enterprises can achieve:

  • Dramatic improvements in server management 
  • Consolidation of idle system resources 
  • Increased operational efficiency 
  • Lower capital and operational costs 
  • Cost-effective and consistent production environments 
  • An infrastructure which is more robust and disaster resistant

 

  • Optimization 

Typically, server utilization on physical hardware is about 15%. With virtualization, levels in the range of 70% to 80% are achievable.

Virtualization is not about technology for the sake of technology. It's about enabling new ways of doing business. It's about helping an organization improve server utilization and productivity which will improve the bottom line.
By using virtualization technologies from top vendors like VMWare and Microsoft, Sysnify is proud that it can help companies optimize and simplify their IT landscape to improve efficiency, performance and reliability.
