Virtualisation is now a common practice from the largest enterprise to the smallest school. Organisations throughout the world are using virtualisation technologies to make the most of their investment, improving performance and availability of key systems using less hardware. But virtualisation is changing. Today we don't only think about virtualisation when we're talking about servers. It can relate to networking and storage as well as servers and that means the efficiencies and savings can be applied across the network. If you haven't got virtualisation on your network, there has never been a better time to do it. With new products including Hyper V from Microsoft bringing the cost of adoption down, virtualisation is a valid choice in more environments than ever before. If you've already got virtualisation it is worth looking at what else it can do for you. Virtualisation of the network allows better utilisation of faster network speeds and offers the ability to reduce the number of network connections, simplifying network design and reducing complexity. Virtualisation of data storage allows better use of expensive storage arrays or even offers the ability to use the drives in the servers as though they were a storage array, with all the functionality and resilience of an expensive array, without the cost.. It is even possible to virtualise the whole infrastructure, bringing servers, storage and the network together as one, reducing management complexity and massively reducing the time it takes to configure and deploy new resources. (Server running slow, give it some more memory, another network connection or more space, all at the press of a button.) The benefits of virtualisation haven't changed, they're just available to more organisations than ever and bring wider benefits across the network. If you're looking at virtualisation for the first time or looking to expand the benefits you're already getting, give Linx a call. We can work with you to use virtualisation to improve services and reduce costs. There really has never been a better time to virtualise.5

VMWARE FOR SCHOOLS
Linx Networks is a VMware Professional Partner and we've been working with schools in the south east selling VMware for many years. VMware has been the market leader in virtualisation since it was released and this shows no sign of changing. Aside from server virtualisation, VMware has a range of products offering complimentary functionality including desktop virtualisation as well as backup, security and management. At Linx we understand the value of the right solution for the right customer. Increasingly in schools Microsoft Hyper V is the perfect solution offering virtualisation at a previously unknown price point, saving our customers thousands in initial costs. Larger customers have traditionally made use of VMware vSphere and it's additional functionality but in schools now the differences are increasingly blurred. Linx Networks Ltd can help you decide which solution is right for you and we can help you reduce costs. Our designs use the best from VMware and Microsoft as well as HP and Nimble so please contact us for the best advice, solutions and prices. Request a Consultation
Unified Network
Intelligence, speed and virtualisation have enabled the move from a proliferated network to a simple infrastructure with less hardware and less complexity. Networks have grown in size and complexity over the years as we used different operating systems, network protocols and topologies, and even different vendors for different processes. Faster network speeds along with virtualisation at the server, storage and network layer have allowed this proliferation to be halted. Where a server can run multiple virtual servers, a physical network can run multiple virtual connections, reducing cost and complexity. Storage arrays are able to multi-task as well, storing and presenting different types of data across different networks simultaneously. Here at Linx Networks we understand how to make the most of new technology by working closely with industry leading vendors such as VMware, Cisco, Nimble, Microsoft and HP to realise real business benefits.

Virtualization Backup
When designing a solution you need to think carefully about your Recovery Point and Recovery Time Objective. No solution is worth implementing if it can't meet your availability objectives. In a virtual world, the backup is more important than ever before. The importance of a host server is much higher than any single server and recovery speeds are critical. At the same time you cannot allow the backup to slow applications down. Today's backup tools need to be virtual server aware but also non-intrusive. Virtual backups are a clever way to protect your data seamlessly without interruption to services, often making use of the virtualisation software at the server and storage layer. Virtual backups take minutes, not hours and, more importantly, offer similar recovery times. This means you can be back up and running much faster than a traditional approach. Many of today's tools also offer the ability to replicate data for business continuity and disaster recovery.

Server Consolidation
Using fewer servers to save money, space, power and cooling is achieved through consolidation. The easiest way to consolidate is to virtualise. Consolidation in a virtual world refers to the number of hardware devices in use, not the number of servers running. Traditionally the only way to use fewer servers was to simply stop using them. Today it's possible to run more than one server on a physical device. In some instances we have seen customers running twenty or more servers on one physical device. Virtualisation is the process of abstracting the operating system and applications from the hardware. The latest hyper-visors allow physical resources to be pooled together. For example, if you have three servers, their total memory, network connectivity and processing power is pooled into one. Virtual servers can then be configured to use as much of that pool as they need. Virtual machines are completely unaware of each other so clashes are avoided and utilisation rates increase to nearer 80% from the 20-30% we commonly see in traditional environments today.
