Virtual Servers

A Virtual Server provides all the benefits of having your own server with none of the drawbacks. We take one powerful dedicated server and segment it into multiple Virtual Servers. No applications or data are shared between the Virtual Servers, so each client can run entirely different versions of the Linux operating systems (e.g. Centos, Fedora, Suse) on the same Host Server at the same time.

Virtual Servers are becoming more and more popular as clients see the benefits of managing multiple servers via one umbrella server, being able to migrate data ‘live’ whilst the server is running, and performing web site or software updates by copying virtual machines. You also get peace of mind knowing that other people on the same dedicated server cannot access your data, unlike on a shared environment.

The VMware Approach to Virtualisation.

The VMware approach to virtualization inserts a thin layer of software directly on the computer hardware or on a host operating system. This software layer creates virtual machines and contains a virtual machine monitor or “hypervisor” that allocates hardware resources dynamically and transparently so that multiple operating systems can run concurrently on a single physical computer without even knowing it.

Do you need more server flexibility?

Virtual servers are growing in popularity for those businesses that want the convenience and flexibility of managing multiple servers. Migrating live data and performing software updates without taking your server off-line brings great advantanges, and with ForLinux technicians at the end of the phone you can’t go wrong! Call us on 0845 4210444 to discuss your specific virtual server needs.
