Virtualisation
The technology that makes cloud hosting possible.

Whether you are developing a new project, seeking new solutions for an established company or starting out with a new venture, the cost of servers and storage can be a major stumbling block. But that doesn’t have to be the case if you employ virtualisation technology. Each physical computer can be transformed into multiple virtual private servers (VPSs), making far more efficient use of resources such as processors and memory, and the same is true of storage too. Suddenly, you can do far more with a lot less.
This good news story gets even better when you take advantage of the economies of scale offered by a hosting company such as PEER 1 Hosting. In addition, although many companies employ virtualisation very effectively in-house, learning how to apply solutions such as VMware® and XenServer® is not a skill you can pick up overnight. So it makes sense to use experts, such as our teams at PEER 1 Hosting, who know exactly how to configure virtual servers to squeeze out every last drop of performance, so that you can focus on running your business.
Virtualisation is used in public and private clouds, and at PEER 1 Hosting we offer both, so there’s something to suit the needs of every kind of organisation. And when you need to tie private and public clouds together, we can do that too.
