xByte is NOW a VMware Partner

Hardware virtualization using a hyper visor such as VMware ESXi allows for multiple virtual machines to run on a single host. Virtualization has a variety of benefits including more efficient use of hardware, improved disaster recovery, increased uptime, portability, and faster and easier server provisioning. Please see the SpiceWorks post titled Understanding the Benefits of Virtualization for a more detailed list of virtualization advantages. Using virtualization allows you to get more out of your hardware and reduce the total cost of ownership. xByte can provide servers that will provide a good base for virtualization for many different scenarios.
