Linux Server Virtualization and Consolidation

Planning Consolidation

Moving into a virtualized environment provides many benefits. If you run your own servers, the biggest benefit may be your power bill. New modern hardware is so fast, that dozens or hundreds of physical servers can be squeezed into a much smaller virtualized environment. The features of virtualized environments also simplify backups and recovery through snapshots. Gone are the days of reinstalling an OS because of a bad package update. Now you can just revert to an earlier snapshot, thanks to our Linux server virtualization and consolidation service.

    This means you may perform routine maintenance on the physical nodes and no one will notice.
    We hot-migrate phone servers with little or no audible interruption of active calls.
  • Automatic VM recovery on the secondary node if the physical hardware fails or requires maintenance
  • Automatic VM restart if the VM crashes
  • Scheduled incremental replication to tertiary backup storage from snapshot (optional service)

A Linux server virtualization and consolidation service may be an important decision toward the future of your business. Moving your servers to a virtualized environment helps you minimize costs and space requirements by reducing the number of physical servers on your property, as well as the time and labor required to maintain them. In addition, your power bill is lowered substantially because of the decrease in energy requirements necessary to run the servers and to cool them down.

Our passion is to keep businesses running while optimizing their performance. Our Linux server virtualization and consolidation service does just that. So get in contact with us for a quote on our services and let Linux Global secure, optimize, and maintain your business operations.
