Microsoft Virtual Server 2005 Consulting and Support

NEW! Learn how we used virtualization to go from 45 servers down to 6 in this PlanetMagpie Case Study.

Virtual Server 2005 enables developers and administrators to achieve increased operational efficiency in software testing and development, server consolidation scenarios and legacy line-of-business application re-hosting.

A complete virtual machine solution, Virtual Server 2005 features robust storage, networking and management features in an easy-to-use package that includes a simple, seven-step installation and a convenient Web-based management console. The server provides hardware benefits through virtual machine isolation, while resource management enables multiple workloads to coexist on fewer servers. In addition, organizations benefit from increased administrator productivity throughout the phases of the IT life cycle.

Complemented by Microsoft's award-winning Windows Server 2003 operating system, Virtual Server 2005 provides a powerful, cost-effective virtual machine platform as part of the Windows Server System.

Virtual Server 2005 Addresses 3 Key Customer Scenarios:

  • Automation of software development and test environments: Provides automated configuration, integration and management of virtual machines, thus enabling more flexible deployment and better developer productivity for better test coverage and user experience throughout the IT life cycle.
  • Server consolidation: Provides compatibility for line-of-business applications when consolidated onto a single physical server, as in the case of departmental servers, in branch offices and for infrastructure services.
  • Legacy application re-hosting: Provides compatibility for legacy applications when re-hosted onto virtual machines running on Windows Server 2003 and more modern server hardware. Results in increased manageability and enables more efficient use of hardware resources.
