Microsoft Hyper V and Server Virtualization Experts

Server virtualization, also known as hardware virtualization, is a hot topic in the IT world because of the potential for serious economic benefits. Microsoft Hyper V virtualization solutions are relatively new. Microsoft Hyper V, the next generation hypervisor-based virtualization technology, allows you to make the best use of your server hardware investments by consolidating multiple server roles as separate virtual machines running on a single physical machine. With Hyper-V, you can also efficiently run multiple different operating systems on a single server and fully leverage the power of x64 computing. Windows Server 2008 introduces a new concept called Server Core. Server Core is a minimal server installation option for computers running on the Windows Server 2008 operating system.

With Windows Server, everything needed to support server virtualization is available as an integral feature of the operating system as Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V. Our Hyper-V consultants can guide your business through simple licensing policies to take advantage of the cost savings of virtualization through Windows Server 2008.

Hyper-V provides a dynamic, reliable, and scalable virtualization platform combined with a single set of integrated management tools to manage both physical and virtual resources, enabling you to create an agile and dynamic data center. It’s important that you partner with a Microsoft certified firm with verifiable real world experience with Hyper-V, if you want to obtain the best results and pricing for your server needs.  BCNI has successfully deployed these solutions for our clients, helping them achieve a higher productivity and efficiency rates without extra costs. BCNI provides Microsoft windows server 2008 virtualization services in Oakville, Burlington and Mississauga.

As Microsoft Hyper V and server virtualization experts, BCNI offers server consolidation. Businesses are under pressure to ease management and reduce costs while retaining and enhancing competitive advantages, such as flexibility, reliability, scalability, and security. The fundamental use of virtualization to help consolidate many servers on a single system while maintaining isolation helps address these demands. One of the main benefits of server consolidation is a lower total cost of ownership (TCO), not just from lowering hardware requirements but also from lower power, cooling, and management costs. By partnering up with BCNI for server virtualization, you will be also obtaining infrastructure optimization, both frm an asset utilization standpoint as well as the ability to balance workloads across different resources.

Business continuity is the ability to minimize both scheduled and unscheduled downtime. Microsoft Hyper V and server virtualization options are solutions for these issues, because  Hyper-V includes powerful business continuity features, such as live backup and quick migration, enabling businesses to meet stringent uptime and response metrics.

Testing and development are frequently the first business functions to take advantage of virtualization technology. Using virtual machines, development staffs can create and test a wide variety of scenarios in a safe, self-contained environment that accurately approximates the operation of physical servers and clients. Hyper-V maximizes utilization of test hardware which can help reduce costs, improve life cycle management, and improve test coverage.

One advantage of Windows Server 8 is that it uses the Server Core as the default server environment, marking a huge change away from dependence on the GUI for management. That means the initial configuration of the server can be completed via GUI and that can be removed after the installation process is completed. Unlike Server 2008 R2, there’s no need to reinstall the OS to get rid of the GUI.

Why we have chosen Windows Server 2008?

Windows Server 2008 is the most substantial upgrade to the Windows Server product line since Windows 2000, with multiple set of capabilities and a new core that will usher in a new era of 64-bit server computing. Like Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008 was in development for many years and some of the many features were originally taken and implemented from its predecessors, Windows Server 2003 and the R2 release. Unlike Windows Vista, this lengthy was a benefit to Windows Server 2008. The whole development process worked to the product’s advantage and the final product is a refined, mature, and stable OS that will power server systems of all kinds for years to come.

Windows Server 2008 utilizes an evolved version of the Active Directory infrastructure that first developed in Windows 2000, but many of the features of Windows Server 2008 are radical and revolutionary. In this new OS was introduced Hyper-V(hypervisor-based virtualization technology) which provides a lightweight version of the server aimed at specific workloads. As major Windows Server upgrade, Windows Server 2008 includes a set of powerful  functions that improve scalability, reliability, manageability, performance, and security.
