Virtualisation has become ubiquitous across computer systems, reducing the foot print of your datacenter or server room, reducing the energy used in powering and cooling and reducing the outlay in hardware required to create new services.
With traditional virtualisation systems, you have distinct platforms for hosting the storage and the the compute engines. Virtual hard disks are presented to servers over a dedicated storage area network (SAN) by iSCSI, Fibre channel or NFS, whilst providing additional features such as snapshots, clones, replication and backup facilities.
A well designed system can provide scalable and rugged disaster recovery solutions with fast availability both onside and offsite.
Scale computing cluster
A hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) combines virtualisation engines, networking and local storage into a full solution – reliability, speed with the distributed fabric of shared-nothing.
We are proud to work with Scale Computing, the next generation of web-scale systems aiming squarely at the SMB market.
