Another service offered by the F8 Tech team is virtualization, which enables multiple servers or desktops to be run on one physical piece of hardware. F8 Tech works with both Hyper-V and VMware and can help a client with any sort of virtualization project.
Greater Efficiency Through Virtualization
In the past, each application in an IT setup had its own server, which resulted in a business having a rack containing a stack of independent servers. This was extremely wasteful of an organization’s resources, both in terms of hardware and energy usage. In a colocation situation, it also meant higher fees for rack space. All of this added up to one thing: money wasted.
Through virtualization, F8 Tech is able to leverage physical hardware, running a hypervisor on the host and then operating multiple servers on one physical piece of hardware. We are often able to consolidate entire racks for a client, reducing 10 or more servers down to just two or three. This not only equates to hardware savings for our clients but power and cooling savings, as well, and, if they are using colocation services, money savings in terms of a reduction in rack space fees.
Our small-business clients typically cannot afford to have multiple servers onsite, so the F8 team is often able to install one physical server that can run multiple virtual machines and accomplish everything our clients need to do, saving them considerable money and resources in contrast with the old model of rack-and-stack servers.
