Virtual machines



VM

Virtual machines (VMs) are hosted in a virtualised environment. They can have all the characteristics of a physical server, while avoiding the hardware. Any OS can be installed on a VM and you can create as many as you want on the Private Cloud.

VM hosted on hosts S, M, L and XL
VM Templates VM library is available to you in your Private Cloud. No more excessive waiting times for installation of an OS as everything is done in minutes with these preconfigured templates.

VMWare Update Manager With Update Manager, updating all of your hosts is a breeze! These tasks are then fully automated and a dashboard lets you view the status of the patches in all of your Private Cloud. This procedure greatly simplifies the management of updates, while protecting your infrastructure against bugs and security holes.
Further information
VMWare High Availability High Availability (HA) offers protection against hardware failures and inefficiencies of operating systems. Permanently, the service monitors your virtual machines. If one of them is not accessible, the High Availability restarts it automatically on another server of your Private Cloud. In minutes, without any human intervention, your VM is available again.

VMWare API vStorage Protect Your Private Cloud easily, thanks to vStorage API. These programming interfaces allow you to save all the virtual machines in your infrastructure from a centralised backup or a VM. It is no longer necessary to manage backup agents in each virtual machine or each host!
Further information
VMWare Thin Provisioning Thin Provisioning reduces your storage needs through the dynamic allocation of disk space. Your VMs have the right amount of disk space without detriment to their performance. Also the number of storages to buy is less, so your investment and operating costs are reduced.
Further information
VMWare Vmotion In a single click, with VMotion, you can move your virtual machines running on a host to another. There is no interruption of the service. The working memory and the execution state of your VM are immediately transferred. And the network is also virtualised, so the VMs retain their identity and their network connections. Scheduled maintenance on a server, for example, has no affect on the end user.
Further information
VMWare Data Recovery Data Recovery offers you the ability to save and quickly restore all your virtual machines. The administration of these backups is done through a centralised management interface. And Data Recovery uses an advanced data de-duplication, which saves considerable space on your storage.
Further information
Creating VMs from the marketplace or OVF Compress and share your VMs using the VMware marketplace. On this exchange platform,you can find hundreds of preconfigured VMs, ready to be deployed. .ovf files can be used immediately for easy deployment
VMWare DRS Distributed Resource Scheduler (DRS) optimises your Private Cloud infrastructure, without any intervention on your part. Whatever your activity peaks, this feature automatically distributes the load of your VMs between your servers. So, you can start production while minimizing the costs of the cluster.

VM hosted on hosts L and XL
VMWare Hot Add With Hot Add, your projects won't slow down anymore! This feature allows you to instantly increase the CPU and memory allocated to your VM. The operation is carried out "hot", without disruption or interruption of service. And it is not complicated: it's just a simple cursor move!
VMWare Fault Tolerance * Fault Tolerance ensures the full availability of your applications.The service developed by VMware copies the state of your virtual machines on a separate server, permanently. If one of them is no longer accessible, its "double" takes over immediately. The risk of data loss or interruption of service no longer exists!
Further information
VMWare vShield Zones Check all network communication of your virtual machines with vShield Zones. In seconds, you can isolate your VMs between them or prevent them from interacting with the outside. Useful, for example, to isolate the SQL databases from a website by allowing only the communication port between the two.
Further information
VMWare Storage vMotion Move files from your disk file of your virtual machines from one storage to another without any interruption. vMotion storage ensures the integrity of these transactions. In case of a scheduled storage maintenance, the service still remains available. This feature is also very useful if you acquire new filers and want to proceed with migration.
Further information
VMware vNetwork Distributed Switch* Centralise the provisioning, administration and monitoring of your virtual machines, using a network cluster combination. The vNetwork Distributed Switch ensures a quality of service (QoS) to different VMware network features, by allocating a maximum bandwidth.
Further information
VMware vShield Edge* The VShield Edge feature allows the isolation of virtual machines (VMs) in "portgroups." Inside, all VMs can communicate with eachother. But they cannot interact with the rest of the network.
