Server Virtualisation
Most business servers sit idle most of the time. Virtualisation puts that wasted capacity to work, running many servers on far fewer machines. Cratsol helps you plan it, and supplies the hardware to run it.
One machine, many servers, none of the waste
For years, every application needed its own physical server, and most of those servers ran at a fraction of their capacity. It was expensive, inefficient, and difficult to scale. Virtualisation solves it by allowing a single physical server to run several independent virtual servers at once, each isolated, each fully functional, each using only the resources it needs.
The outcome is straightforward: the same workloads, or more, on a fraction of the hardware. Fewer machines to buy, power, and maintain, and a far more flexible foundation to build on.
The practical wins, beyond the savings
New servers provisioned in minutes
Simpler, faster backup and recovery
Full use of the hardware you own
Safe testing without buying more machines
More from your hardware, less on your bills
Consolidation
Replace a room of under-used servers with a few that run at full potential, reclaiming space, power, and budget.
Lower total cost
Every server you remove is hardware you don’t buy and energy you don’t burn, savings that continue year after year.
Built-in resilience
Virtual servers can be moved between machines and recovered after a failure in a fraction of the time a physical rebuild takes.
Scale on demand
Provision a new server in minutes rather than weeks, and shift resources to where the business needs them.
