There can be no doubt that virtualisation has the potential to reduce costs and increase availability but its introduction needs careful planning and specialist skills. If you would like to discuss virtualisation further contact us now.

Deploying virtualised server environments, can be difficult. For example, improved application availability will require 'logical' clustering, hardware failure - as a single failed physical server can bring down all of your virtual servers - cost accounting and license management becomes harder, re-skilling IT departments to accept the new methodologies, system image proliferation and new monitoring tools. And this is where iomart hosting comes in.

We have been deploying and managing large scale virtualised server environments for many years. And you can now take advantage of the experience that we have gained in the area of server virtualisation.
