VMware Cloud Advantages
VMware vSphere has many advanced high-availability and management features.
How can a Qube VMware solution help your business?
The benefits of VMware based cloud and virtualisation solutions really do speak for themselves:
• Save power (green initiatives and save on electricity costs)• Save physical rack space in the data centre
• Save on hardware costs
• Increase availability (high availability even for standalone servers)
• Increase responsiveness and flexibility (scale up and down easily)
• Boost productivity (templates, cloning, API’s and better management tools)
However, the benefits of virtualisation and cloud computing do not come without increased complexity and the need for serious design skills and operating knowledge – during all phases of the physical to virtual migration. Our virtualisation engineers have the skills and experience you need to make a successful transition to a VMware cloud based infrastructure, whether that be a VMware Virtual Dedicated Server (VDS) or a VMware Private Cloud solution.
Qube’s VMware Cloud Platform
VMware Distributed Resource Scheduler (DRS)
VMware DRS automatically balances computing capacity in your resource pools to deliver scalability, availability and performance.
• Improve SLA’s. VMware DRS continuously balances workloads over available capacity. It ensures that each virtual machine has access to allocated resources at any time.
• Quickly and easily deploy new capacity. VMware DRS will automatically take advantage of any additional capacity added to a resource pool by rebalancing virtual machines with no system disruptions.
• Automate your server maintenance. VMware DRS can seamlessly migrate virtual machines off physical hosts to allow server maintenance with zero downtime.
• Increase your productivity by enabling system administrators to monitor and manage more IT infrastructure effectively.
VMware vMotion
• Perform live migrations with no downtime or impact to the user.
• Automatically optimise virtual machines within resource pools.
• Perform maintenance without scheduling downtime or impacting your business.
• Automatically migrate virtual machines away from underperforming servers.
VMware High Availability (HA)
VMware HA provides the availability needed by applications running in virtual machines, independent of the operating system. VMware HA provides cost-effective failover protection against hardware and OS failures within your virtualized infrastructure.
• Monitors virtual servers to detect OS and hardware failures.
• Re-spawns virtual machines on other physical servers in the resource pool without manual intervention when a failure is detected.
• Protects your applications from OS failure by automatically restarting virtual servers when an OS failure is detected.
