“The whole outsourcing of IT was new for us when we hired TurnKey Solutions. We’ve only been a TurnKey customer for less than a year, but they treat us like we’ve been working together forever. The team does a phenomenal job, they are very knowledgeable. We have established a great relationship with TurnKey and it is a pleasure to work with their team.”
- Resource Allocation – A hypervisor allocates physical hardware resources (CPU, memory, storage, network bandwidth) to virtual machines. It ensures that it distributes resources evenly among virtual machines. This prevents one machine from using up all the resources and impacting the performance of the others.
- Isolation – Each virtual machine is kept separate from the others to prevent interference. Each VM acts as its own dedicated physical machine, ensuring that processes, applications, and data stay secure and stable. If one VM crashes or experiences issues, it won’t bring down the others.
- Snapshots and Cloning – Take snapshots of virtual machines – essentially freezing them at a particular point in time. Cloning a VM is helpful for making backups or testing changes without impacting the original VM. It creates an exact copy for setting up new instances quickly.
- Emulation – Emulate the hardware environment for each virtual machine. The VM creates a virtual version of a computer inside it. This tricks the operating system and applications into thinking they are on a real machine.
- Scheduling and Load Balancing – Manage the distribution of resources among virtual machines. They monitor resource usage and can dynamically adjust allocations to ensure optimal performance for all VMs.
- Hardware Utilization – Optimize hardware utilization by enabling the consolidation of multiple virtual machines on a single physical machine. This helps in reducing hardware costs and energy consumption.
- Security – Maintain strong security measures between VMs. This isolation prevents malicious software or actions in one VM from affecting others.
- Centralized Management – Provides management interfaces that allow administrators to control and monitor the virtual environment from a central location. This includes tasks like creating, configuring, starting, stopping, and monitoring VMs.
