Few technologies have changed business networks like Server Virtualization. GCS offers Server Virtualization using Microsoft Hyper-V and VMware vSphere 5.0/ESXi, Dell Equallogic and HP P4000 Storage Area Networks, and iSCSI and Fibre Channel switching.

Server Virtualization enables businesses to:

	Decrease Hardware Expenses By combining under-utilized servers on to a single piece of hardware, equipment expenses may be reduced by as much as 50%. This can result in other savings such as collocation, cooling and support costs.
	Quickly Recover From Outages A virtualized system can be backed up in its entirety. Any system failure can be mitigated by either moving the virtual environment to other hardware or by restoring a backup of the environment on the same hardware. This eliminates the longest outages and provides a dramatic improvement in overall reliability.
	Minimize Technical Support Costs Virtualized environments eliminate the most expensive technical support costs. In place of dozens of hours spent rebuilding and restoring complex systems, the entire environment can be backed up and restored.
	Reduce Energy Usage By reducing the number of servers in use and employing blade technology from HP and Dell, GCS can reduce the amount of energy needed to power your servers. This reduces electricity billing in data centers and office environments .

GCS designs Server Virtualization solutions to include hardware, software, configuration and on-going technical support. These solutions begin with an in-depth, automated assessment of your existing servers and infrastructure. Following this assessment GCS will design a comprehensive virtualization solution for your network.
