Virtualization means the creation of an abstract layer, which detaches the physical hardware from the operating system, in order to ensure better utilization of IT resources and higher flexibility.
Through virtualization it is possible to create several virtual machines at the same time, on which various operating systems can be run isolated from one another, parallel on the same physical machine / hardware. Every virtual machine has its own virtual hardware set (e.g. RAM, CPU, NIC,etc.), onto which the operating system and the applications are loaded.  The operating system sees a uniform interrelated / consistent, normalized hardware set, regardless of the actual physical hardware components.
The characteristics of virtual machines are embedded into files, enabling fast back-up, copying and resource allocation to the virtual machine.  The entire systems (the configured applications, operating systems, BIOS and the entire virtual hardware) can be moved within minutes from one physical server to the other, saving the hassle of shutdowns and maintenance time expenditures, and consolidating the constant workload. 
These days virtualization has become an important factor - it supports the stability, security and manageability of business processes and operation in global IT infrastructure. 
Virtual machines can be fully detached from the host machine and the rest of the virtual machines.  If the virtual machine stops, the rest of the machines are unaffected.  There will be no data bleed-over between virtual machines, the applications may only communicate through the configured network connections.
The entire virtual machine environment can be saved as one single file, therefore back-up, movement and copying can be done easily.  The application has standardized, virtualized hardware available - which guarantees compatibility. 
There are several active manufacturers in the market of virtualization technologies, however, the products of market leader VMware excel by their original solutions and outstanding price to value ratio. 

Optimize, supervise and manage your IT infrastructure, from desktop to data centers, virtualizing (providing a virtual set-up) of your computer systems, storage solutions and network systems by the software applications of VMware! VMware products provide such corporate level virtual machines that increase the level of utilization of servers and other resources, improve their performance and reduce the down time of the systems, increase security, decrease the costs of corporate services to be delivered and also reduce complexity and complicatedness.  By enhancing your already existing technology, VMware enables the distribution of new applications at a lower risk level and lower platform costs.

WHY SYNERGON SYSTEM INTEGRATOR?

Synergon has been one of the first Hungarian companies to have expanded its portfolio by “virtualization” technologies. With its trained, certified commercial and engineering staff, the Company has obtained VMware VIP Enterprise partner qualification.

Our Company has already gained experiences in the implementation, support and operation of virtualization technologies in several high-volume reference projects.  At the same time, the system integration expertise of the company going back to fifteen years guarantees that we understand every detail of the system operated by the customer and offer optimal and customized solutions for every project.
