A lot of people oversell the boons a virtual server<\/a> will bring, while not properly considering the underlying costs.<\/p>\n

For those considering the change, know there are two sides to the coin. In our second article we\u2019ll highlight the pros and cons of a P2V transition, and you can decide whether or not it\u2019s right for your business.<\/p>\n

Going Virtual (P2V) Series<\/strong><\/h3>\n

  2. Physical VS Virtual Servers<\/a><\/li>\n
  3. What Hardware Do I Need for P2V?<\/a><\/li>\n
  4. Performing a P2V Server Migration<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The Pros of Virtualization<\/h2>\n

    The benefits of virtualization are very appealing, so much so that the vast majority of enterprise businesses now use some form of it. Even in small to medium businesses (SMBs), it can be a major boon.<\/p>\n

    Lower\u00a0Infrastructure Costs<\/h3>\n

    For any business, what\u2019s not attractive about paying less for more? Virtualization means you don\u2019t have to purchase a new server for every single application you want to run in your organization. By having one physical machine running multiple virtual servers, you\u2019re dramatically reducing your cost overhead.<\/p>\n

    Lower Operational Costs<\/h3>\n

    Once servers are virtualized, IT staff can automate a number of significant routine IT tasks, such as applying Windows OS patches. \u00a0This reduces the need for hands-on management and reduces your business\u2019s operational costs. That means IT staff are free to provide high-quality service instead of spending time keeping systems up-to-date.<\/p>\n

    Greater Redundancy<\/h3>\n

    This one\u2019s a biggie. Virtualization allows greater safety and security by having all your servers separated so when one crashes, it doesn\u2019t take down everything. Plus, if you\u2019ve got BackupAssist<\/a> installed, you can instantly recover a VM guest that goes down, along with your precious servers. With a physical server, you\u2019d be out for the count while you wait for your bare-metal recovery to finish.<\/p>\n

    Energy Cost Savings<\/h3>\n

    As you lower the size of your hardware and server equipment, you lower your energy consumption, cooling power and data-center square footage. Again, more money saved.<\/p>\n

    Faster Server Deployment<\/h3>\n

    Deploying a virtual server is overwhelmingly simpler than deploying a physical machine, not to mention provisioning them. This is particularly useful if you\u2019re deploying a virtual server from a backup onto the same or different hardware.<\/p>\n

    Maximizing Resource Use<\/h3>\n

    When you\u2019re hosting servers on individual physical machines, chances are you\u2019re only using up to 10% of each device\u2019s capacity. With a virtual host, however, you\u2019re able to consolidate multiple servers within a single machine. That means your business is getting the most out of your hardware and resource investments.<\/p>\n

    Providing for Business Growth<\/h3>\n

    As your business grows, it\u2019s easy to create new virtual servers as needed with a few mouse clicks. However, it\u2019s not so easy to set up physical servers, and they\u2019re not easily disposed of either.\u00a0Virtualization is perfect if you want to excel in efficient resource management while still providing room for business growth.<\/p>\n

    More Flexibility<\/h3>\n

    As if all those \u2018pros\u2019 weren\u2019t enough, a virtual server offers the ability for\u00a0different domain names, file directories, e-mail administration, IP addresses, logs and analytics.\u00a0Again, you\u2019d need a whole new physical machine for\u00a0these\u00a0things.<\/p>\n

    The Cons<\/h2>\n

    Some businesses get tunnel vision the second they see \u2018lower costs\u2019. That\u2019s a mistake, since for SMBs there are things you need to be aware of before making the leap. Here\u2019s what you should prepare for if you\u2019re deciding to perform a P2V transition.<\/p>\n

    High Upfront Expenditure<\/h3>\n

    Sure, you save money in the long run, but the upfront costs of a virtualization strategy from the ground up can be daunting. You\u2019ve got to fork out for the proper hardware to support it, and while it\u2019ll pay off eventually, some SMBs don\u2019t have this sort of upfront collateral.<\/p>\n

    Lack of Universal Support<\/h3>\n

    For all the businesses jumping on the P2V train, there are still applications that don\u2019t fully support virtualized environments. You should make sure that all the business-critical applications you use are fully supported should you go virtual or else you could be in for quite a nasty shock. Select high VM supporting software (E.g. BackupAssist<\/a> for backups), so you know that the vendors specifically support virtual machines.<\/p>\n

    Resource Hogging<\/h3>\n

    Making the most of your resources is great, but sometimes you can make\u00a0too<\/em>\u00a0much of them. If you\u2019ve got too many virtual servers running off a single physical machine, things are going to slow down even if your VMs are technically independent of each other.<\/p>\n

    Cost of VM Licensing<\/h3>\n

    You\u2019re going to save money on hardware and operation costs, that\u2019s for sure.\u00a0But you\u2019re going to need to pay for virtualization software and licensing. It\u2019s true that there are free starter versions available, but\u00a0they usually don\u2019t come with the important management packages you need or lack\u00a0in functionality (such as how many server cores you can use at once). In short, you\u2019ll save money in hardware costs but have to pay more in software costs.<\/p>\n

    Specialized VMWare or Hyper-V Knowledge Needed<\/h3>\n

    The administration of virtual servers\u00a0requires specialized knowledge. Even more daunting, virtualization packages such as VMWare and Hyper-V server come with their own set of rules and a 600 page manual. It\u2019s not something that\u2019s typically covered in a college degree in network administration, so the learning curve is steep. In particular, learning to match backup and recovery software to the needs of your virtual servers can be tough, unless you\u2019re using an intuitive software program<\/a> that can detect when it\u2019s on a VM and offer up an easy-to-use interface.<\/p>\n

    Possible Data Sprawl<\/h3>\n

    Servers are really, really easy to deploy in virtualized environments. That means you might go overboard and add virtual servers even when they\u2019re not needed. Instead of having your necessary 10 to 20, you might have 30 to 40, wasting your available resources in the process.<\/p>\n

    Conclusion<\/h2>\n

    If you\u2019re a SMB looking to perform a P2V transition for your servers, there\u2019s no reason you shouldn\u2019t so long as you\u2019re aware of how to implement virtual environments and the potential downsides.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
