Which virtualization to choose for your server?
Virtualizing a server helps reduce costs and space occupied, offering reliability and better use of resources to optimize your server.
Activate the VMs on different physical machines: if one fails, the virtual server will run on another machine to ensure full operation.
VMware ESXi
Vmware ESXi is the leading virtualization platform produced by VMware. It consists of a hypervisor that is installed directly on the physical server and partitions it into multiple virtual machines. VMs can be activated on different physical machines. If one of these fails, the virtual server can be run on another machine, so as not to stop the activities. It also allows the creation of test environments to verify the operation of new applications, without the risk of blocking the entire server. A big plus in terms of safety.
Citrix XenServer
Citrix XenServer is the open source virtualization platform that uses the Xen hypervisor as a core component, providing high-performance Windows and Linux virtual machines. Thanks to virtualization, the Xen hypervisor is installed directly on the server and remains between the server hardware and the operating system. This provides a layer of abstraction that allows each physical server to run one or more virtual servers, effectively separating the operating system and its applications from the physical server.
Proxmox VE
Proxmox VE is open source software that takes advantage of virtualization technologies such as KVM and Open Container Virtualization. It offers the same features and functionality as its competitors and is completely Opensource. It can be controlled and managed completely from an online interface via the web.
Microsoft Hyper-V
Microsoft Hyper-V, in Windows Server 2012, allows you to create a virtualized server environment that can be used to improve the efficiency of computing resources thanks to greater use of hardware resources. Hyper-V allows you to create and manage virtual machines and their resources, which operate in an isolated execution environment. This allows multiple operating systems to run simultaneously on a physical computer.

Are you perplexed? We have all the answers
All our dedicated servers are supplied directly with the desired hypervisor already installed and configured, each machine can be equipped with completely dedicated IP failover classes that allow users to manage even the high availability of virtual machines by "moving" the IP from one server to another in a completely automatic way. All Hypervisors are fully updated as soon as a new version is released.
Virtualizing your own server helps reduce costs and space occupied, offering system reliability and better use of resources to optimize your server.
Virtual machines can be activated on different physical machines. If one of these fails, the virtual server can be run on another machine, so as not to stop activities. In addition, virtualization allows you to create test environments to verify the operation of new applications, without running the risk of blocking the entire server.
The dedicated servers we use are always based on INTEL with VT technology that allows the CPU to manage multiple processes and therefore multiple virtual machines at the same time. The greater the amount of RAM that a dedicated server supports, the greater the number of virtual machines that we will be able to manage on it.
Thanks to the backup technologies that virtualization offers, it is possible to "save" the states of the machines constantly so as to never lose any data.
