Server virtualization and its advantages

Due to the progress in communications and digital solutions, server virtualization is becoming a very beneficial resource. Server virtualization is a way to take advantage of the full potential of a computer installed on the premises, or to transfer it to another location without suffering any inconvenience. Generally, most existing servers are underutilized, with about 15 percent of their performance potential untapped. Let’s take a look at some of the benefits of virtualizing a company’s servers:   Cost reduction. Savings is one of the strengths of server virtualization. By taking full advantage of them, it is not necessary to invest in new equipment or keep unused equipment on. Energy consumption is therefore reduced. In addition, fewer servers mean savings in maintenance, both in time and money. Also, when we decide to virtualize, the hardware reduction is 22% and, more importantly, the annual cost savings can be up to 23%, depending on the configuration.   Improved security A virtual server can be easily scheduled for regular backups and stored remotely. In case of failure, recovery is much faster and more accessible.   Possibility to create a test environment Since a server space can be segmented to operate independently, it gives us the opportunity to develop a test environment. This environment can be developed without the need to deploy an external server and without the danger of a failure affecting the other servers. For example, applications can be installed and all the necessary processes can be executed before they are moved to the working environment. This minimizes errors and the time it would take to fix them if they were done...
