Dedicated virtualised server range
Tuesday, 15 July 2008 00:00
Hostway has launched its dedicated virtualised server range. The new virtualised server portfolio enables companies which could not previously afford virtualisation to take advantage of it by using a hosted solution. The new offering also expands Hostway's existing dedicated server range by increasing the reliability, scalability and cost-effectiveness of customer hosting arrangements.
"Many companies are keen to use virtualisation because it can help them cut costs, increase server utilisation and make their infrastructure more robust and reliable, but simply don't have the expertise or the resources to set up a virtualised server environment in-house," said David Foxley, enterprise technology manager, Hostway UK. "The licenses for ESX server can cost thousands of pounds alone, add to that the costs of implementing the technology and training staff to manage it and you could find that the cost of adopting virtualisation cannot be justified by the benefits it brings. Using our new hosted virtualised servers, companies can benefit from virtualisation without having to train and certify IT staff, or make large upfront investments."
