Computer hardware  virtualization (or hardware virtualization)  is the virtualization  of computers  and/or operating systems.  It hides the physical characteristics of a computing platform from users, instead showing another abstract computing platform.   At its origins,  the software that controlled  virtualization was called a  ‘control program ‘, but currently the terms ‘hypervisor’ or ‘virtual machine monitor’ are preferred.

Virtualization  can provide cost  savings through a number of  different  avenues.   Utility costs,  hardware expenses, upgrade and administrative expenses, and faster disaster recovery abilities.

Virtualization can also reduce downtime and increase hardware utilization from 5-10% up to 70-80%. Replication of virtual machines can enhance the disaster recovery process and reduce management as support costs.

Blue Byte Technology Solutions can recommend, spec, provide, install and maintain VMWare virtual environments.
