Why Virtualization?
Virtualization of video infrastructure eliminates the “one server, one application” model and delivers greater efficiencies in how you manage, deploy and scale video infrastructure to fit your needs. While hardware solutions offer a number of conveniences, virtualization presents another set of benefits for the enterprise.
IMPROVED EFFICIENCIES
Consolidates underutilized server resources
LOWER OPERATING COSTS
Requires less energy, less space and fewer manpower hours
FASTER, SIMPLIFIED DEPLOYMENT
Takes just minutes to deploy, with no hardware to install, configure or ship
GREATER FLEXIBILITY AND CONTROL
Easy to manage, move, configure and scale to your needs
ENTERPRISE-CLASS BUSINESS CONTINUITY WITH NEAR-ZERO DOWNTIME
Delivers high availability and disaster recovery via failover and load balancing
How Does Virtualization Work?
Virtualization of video infrastructure is a process whereby a layer of virtualizing software abstracts the systems running on a server. A virtual machine is a tightly isolated software container than can run its own operating system and its own applications, and it is completely independent of the underlying physical hardware.
Through virtualization, you can run multiple virtual machines on a single physical server, with each virtual machine sharing the resources of that server. In addition, a virtual machine can be moved to other existing servers, thus providing added flexibility and control within your network environment.
