Virtualization Solutions

Virtualization is a computing technology that enables a single user to access multiple physical devices. Another way to look at it is a single computer controlling multiple machines, or one operating system utilizing multiple computers to analyze a database. Virtualization may also be used for running multiple applications on each server rather than just one; this in turn reduces the number of servers companies need to purchase and manage. It enables you to consolidate your servers and do more with less hardware. It also lets you support more users per piece of hardware, deliver applications, and run applications faster.

One way to look at it is that virtualization is basically one physical computer pretending to be many computing environments whereas cloud computing is many different computers pretending to be the one computing environment (hence user scaling). Virtualization provides flexibility that is a great match for cloud computing. Moreover, cloud computing can be defined based on the virtual machine containers created with virtualization. Virtualization is not always necessary in cloud computing; however, you can use it as the basis. Cloud computing is an approach for the delivery of services while virtualization is one possible service that could be delivered. Large corporations with little downtime tolerance and airtight security requirements may find that virtualization fits them best. Smaller businesses are more likely to profit more with cloud computing, allowing them to focus on their mission while leaving IT chores to those who can do more for less.

I have been extremely pleased with CIS from the very beginning of our ERP project. CIS’s staff is very knowledgeable and contentious of our needs. They were unlike many companies that are just looking to sell you a product and walk away. CIS took the time to understand our business needs and worked with us to find a solution. They worked with us from the design stage through post installation configurations. Microsoft’s GP product seemed to be a good fit for our company. I look forward to a long working relationship with CIS. - IT Directory, Large Entertainment Venue
