The Benefits of virtualisation

Scaleability: Fast Virtual instances provisioning makes increasing the server instances and computing capacity possible so you can meet your performance and capacity needs at very short notice.
Security: Dedicated virtual servers provide greater peace of mind if you are concerned about the security compromises of multi tenanted systems or VPS.
Ideal uses of virtualisation
The Bunker would recommend virtualisation for the following business models/uses:
Outsourcing of Internal IT infrastructure – allowing for cost savings and the capability to adapt allowing your business systems to be more agile
Retail Platforms – Giving you the ability to scale your environment, giving you greater web processing power for the busy times/seasonal rushes or those unpredicted business demands
SaaS Platforms – Allowing you to provide demonstrations and instant white labelled roll outs to meet your end customers requirements and committed deadlines.
Can be used to reduce the need to build expensive and or overhead-capacity into your physical infrastructure by matching the capacity of your computing resource to current demand for your business critical applications
Providing the ability to test applications updates or Operating System patches on the same hardware, but not damaging existing live or UAT environments (Disposable Sandboxes)
