Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between VDI and server virtualization?
Server virtualization creates virtual servers that run applications and services, replacing physical servers. VDI (Virtual Desktop Infrastructure) creates virtual desktops that users access remotely, replacing physical desktop computers. Server virtualization is typically used for hosting applications and databases, while VDI is used to provide desktop environments to end users who work remotely or need access from multiple locations.
Can we virtualize our existing physical servers and desktops?
Yes. We use migration tools to convert your physical servers and desktops into virtual machines. This process, called P2V (Physical to Virtual) migration, allows you to move existing systems to a virtual environment without having to rebuild everything from scratch. Most applications and settings transfer seamlessly.
What are the hardware requirements for virtualization?
Virtualization requires servers with sufficient CPU, RAM, and storage to host multiple virtual machines. Modern servers with multi-core processors, large amounts of RAM (typically 128GB-512GB+), and fast storage (SSD or NVMe) work best. We assess your workloads and recommend appropriately sized hardware to ensure good performance for all virtual machines.
How does virtualization affect performance?
With proper planning and sizing, virtualized systems often perform as well as or better than physical systems. Virtual machines can be allocated exactly the resources they need, and modern hypervisors are highly efficient. In fact, virtualization often improves overall resource utilization because physical servers typically only use 10-20% of their capacity, while virtualized environments achieve 60-80% utilization.
What happens if the virtualization host fails?
With proper implementation, virtualization provides better disaster recovery than physical servers. We implement high availability (HA) clustering where multiple hosts work together. If one host fails, virtual machines automatically restart on another host, minimizing downtime. We also configure regular backups and can replicate VMs to another location for complete disaster recovery.
Can users access virtual desktops from their own devices?
Yes. VDI solutions work on Windows PCs, Macs, tablets, and even smartphones. Users connect through a secure client application or web browser. This "Bring Your Own Device" (BYOD) capability allows employees to work from personal computers while keeping company data secure in the datacenter.
How much does desktop and server virtualization cost?
Costs vary based on the number of virtual machines, required hardware, and chosen platform (VMware, Hyper-V, VDI solution, etc.). While there is an upfront investment in servers and licensing, most businesses see ROI within 12-24 months through reduced hardware costs, lower energy bills, and improved IT efficiency. We provide detailed cost analysis comparing virtualization to your current infrastructure.
What about software licensing in a virtual environment?
Software licensing for virtual environments varies by vendor. Some applications are licensed per virtual machine, others per physical CPU or core. We help navigate licensing requirements and ensure compliance. Some vendors offer special virtualization licensing that can be more cost-effective. We work with software vendors to understand their policies and ensure proper licensing.
How long does it take to implement virtualization?
Implementation timeline depends on the scope. A basic server virtualization project might take 2-4 weeks. A comprehensive VDI deployment for 50+ users could take 6-12 weeks including planning, implementation, testing, and training. We work in phases to minimize disruption and can often virtualize some systems while others remain physical during the transition.
