What is Virtualisation?
Virtualisation is a proven software technology that is rapidly transforming the IT landscape and fundamentally changing the way that people compute. Today’s powerful x86 computer hardware was never designed to run a single operating system and a single application. Only Windows makes this necessary. This leaves most machines vastly under utilised. Virtualisation lets you run multiple virtual machines on a single physical machine, sharing the resources of that single computer across multiple applications.

 

How Does Virtualisation Work?

 

Virtualisation works by inserting a thin layer of software between the computer hardware and a host operating system. This software contains a virtual machine monitor or “hypervisor” that allocates hardware resources dynamically and transparently to the “guest” virtual machines. Multiple operating systems run concurrently on a single physical computer and share hardware resources between them.

 

Working with Stack

 
Stack takes a consultative approach with each virtualisation project that we are invited to design and implement.  Decisions made during the design process are vendor independent and the final solution we provide will have been created using real data from assessments that we have gathered from your infrastructure. That solution will be one that meets both your business and commercial goals.

 
Virtualisation can be a complex project for an organisation. Customers that worked with Stack experience successful deployments. (References are available upon request). All of our customers have the satisfaction of knowing that by working with Stack the project will be right first time.  Stack guarantees this with the Stack Risk Reversal Guarantee.
