The way of running many virtual operating systems on a single computer is called virtualization. It helps to maximize the physical resources in such a way that your hardware investment is also maximized. The costs of maintenance as well as that of repair are also reduced. You can do server virtualization for up to 16 servers that can simultaneously run 16 operating systems.
For applications that are meant for small to medium scale of usage, virtualization is the perfect tool. A service provider who is good will make sure that the utilization of the server does not go beyond 50% as it might reduce the performance of the computers.
The virtualization providers have a task to ensure that the continuity of business is maintained. It is better for a provider to cluster the servers in such a way that if one fails there is one more available to fall back on. If one of the servers becomes faulty, then the other physical server should automatically take the charge.
Any virtualization company should also offer a virtual migration tool which can pick up the existing physical server and create a virtual hard drive image of the server, so that it can boot up and run in the exact way as the virtual server. There will be no need to rebuild any existing servers.
Also, there is a need of a management system which will ensure that all the servers are patched with each of the virtual server on the physical hard drive. Even if there is a need of it in the future, this virtualization solution will come in use as and when required.
