Run Multiple Virtual Machines on a Single Physical Machine
With virtualization different virtual machines can run different operating systems and multiple applications on the same physical computer.
Virtualization Saves You Money
With less physical equipment to purchase, operate and repair, virtualization creates substantial cost savings for your business. Lower your capital and operational costs and improve operational efficiency and flexibility through virtualization.
Lower Costs
A large portion of many companies’ operating budgets goes to IT-related materials, including servers, desktops, laptops, and cell phones, along with the power it takes to run them. Virtualization is all about less physical equipment to purchase, operate, and repair, which can translate into substantial cost savings for your company. If your company supports your working from home, they can save money on office space. You can personally save time and money by skipping that hour long commute to the office!
More Productivity
Virtualization means that working from home or your business trip doesn’t interfere with your ability to get things done effectively and efficiently. If your boss needs you to revise a spreadsheet that’s on the company server and to print it on his printer, you can easily do this—from home, while traveling, or even from your phone while running an errand. Because with virtualization you can work from anywhere, any time, and from any device. For you, this means more flexibility and productivity.
Many Benefits
Utilizing a single physical machine to run multiple virtual machines reduces space requirements while lowering power and cooling demands. The benefits of virtualization include the following:
• server space consolidation
• simplify resources
• greater flexibility
• ease of provisioning
• reduce power and cooling requirements
• portability
• systems backup

Virtualization Primer
Virtualization allows businesses to run multiple operating systems and applications simultaneously on the same server.
The idea of virtualization is simple, and although the underlying technology is somewhat complicated, implementing virtualization with DataHive's VMWare offering is very simple. Virtualization is the use of software to allow a server to run multiple operating systems at the same time.
The technology got its start on mainframes decades ago, allowing administrators to avoid wasting expensive processing power. Processing power these days is very inexpensive, but the fact remains that the large percentage of servers are being under-utilized. Virtualization allows you to fully utilize the processing power of a server. This means you have less capital outlay for hardware. It’s also a "green" initiative in that fewer physical servers being plugged in means less electricity is being used.
Don’t let the word "virtualization" confuse you. It’s a simple concept. Think of a traditional server as a house; it’s a single family (single OS) environment. Virtualization would be more like an apartment building; that is, a single physical structure that hosts multiple distinct and unique residences.
