testing
We want to make sure that our equipment is fully reliable for you. That’s why all our equipment (even new) is subject to complete diagnostics, testing, and part replacement.
testing
We fully load our equipment with various utilities and software. Rest assured, it’ll work for a very long time.
Power supply
The components work at full capacity and are tested for several days. If we are not sure about something, we replace it.
of all equipment
Our regulations imply the same testing for both used and new equipment. Oh, and by the way, we complement the official manufacturer’s warranty with our own warranty.
Hyper-V Advantages
Hyper-V is a hypervisor-based virtualization platform from Microsoft that allows you to create and manage virtual machines on Windows servers. Here are some of the advantages of using Hyper-V:
-
Cost-effectiveness: Hyper-V is included with Windows Server and does not incur any additional licensing fees, making it a cost-effective virtualization solution. In particular, the Standard license allows you to run two virtual machines with Windows Server, and the Datacenter license - an unlimited number of virtual machines.
-
Hardware utilization: Hyper-V allows you to create multiple virtual machines on a single physical server, which can help better utilize hardware resources.
-
Security: Hyper-V provides hardware-based virtualization, which can help to improve security by isolating virtual machines from the host operating system.
-
Easy management: Hyper-V can be managed using Microsoft's System Center Virtual Machine Manager (SCVMM), which provides a centralized console for managing virtual machines.
-
High availability: Hyper-V supports features such as live migration, which allows you to move virtual machines between physical servers with no downtime, and failover clustering, which provides automatic failover in the event of a server failure.
-
Compatibility: Hyper-V supports a wide range of operating systems, including Windows, Linux, and FreeBSD, making it a versatile virtualization platform.
-
Scalability: Hyper-V allows you to run virtualization on a single server as well as create a converged and hyperconverged infrastructure using Storage Spaces (Software-defined Storage) technology.
Overall, Hyper-V provides a powerful and flexible virtualization solution that can help you improve efficiency, reduce costs, and increase security in your IT infrastructure.
Hyper-V Server Requirements
There are several factors to consider when choosing a server for Hyper-V:
-
CPU: A server with a modern multi-core processor, such as Intel Xeon or AMD Epyc, is recommended for optimal performance.
-
Memory: Depending on the number of planned virtual machines, Hyper-V can require a significant amount of memory, so you should consider a server with at least 16GB of RAM, but preferably 32GB or more.
-
Storage: Hyper-V requires a fast and reliable storage system. Consider using solid-state drives (SSDs) with a RAID or SDS system with multiple drives for better performance and redundancy. You can add hard drives to save money.
-
Networking: For demanding infrastructures, we recommend using a 10G or more network interface card (NICs), preferably several for fault tolerance.
-
Power and cooling: Choose a server with a power supply and cooling system that can handle the workload of running virtual machines.
-
Budget: Consider your budget when selecting a server. Hyper-V can run on a wide range of hardware, so you can choose a server that fits your needs and budget.
