Virtualization

Virtualization is a way to run multiple operating systems on a single piece of hardware. The two primary uses are server virtualization and desktop virtualization. LG Consulting has helped many organizations leverage virtualization to help solve many IT issues including hardware underutilization, high operational support costs, and energy consumption.

Virtualization software sits between the physical hardware and the operating system. The software partitions the physical hardware into multiple virtual machines, each with their own processing power, memory, networking, storage and BIOS, enabling multiple OS's (and their associated applications) to run in these virtual environments side by side on the same physical hardware. In a practical sense, virtualization would allow an enterprise to consolidate 3 servers into 1 by running a Windows virtual machine, a Linux virtual machine and a UNIX virtual machine on a single server.

Our experienced teams deliver comprehensive virtualization solutions that help our clients derive the greatest value from their technology investments.
