Virtualisation Types Addressed by Maxima;
Server Virtualisation
Server virtualization is the masking of server resources, including the number and identity of individual physical servers, processors, and operating systems, from server users. The server administrator uses a software application to divide one physical server into multiple isolated virtual environments.
Storage Virtualisation
Virtualization is the pooling of physical storage from multiple network storage devices into what appears to be a single storage device that is managed from a central console.
Storage virtualization helps the storage administrator perform the tasks of backup, archiving, and recovery more easily, and in less time, by disguising the actual complexity of the SAN
Application Virtualisation
Application virtualisation (also known as application delivery) is the practice of running software application from a remote server rather than on the user's computer.
Maxima’s definition of Application Virtualisation goes further in that we focus on delivering the leading applications such as Oracle, SAP, Microsoft Dynamics in a fully virtualised environment via a client datacentre or hosted virtual platform.
Desktop Virtualisation
Desktop Virtualisation is the process of separating a personal computer desktop (its applications, files and data) from the physical machine. The 'virtualised' desktop is stored on a remote central server instead of on the hard-drive of the local personal computer.
This means that when users work from their desktops, all of the programs, applications, processes and data used by the desktop are kept and run centrally, allowing users to remotely access their desktops on any device which is capable of displaying the desktop, such as a PC, laptop, smartphone or thin client
