We live in an age of relative miracles when it comes to electronics and computing power. With the ever-increasing innovations taking place in the world of host server technology, the systems are growing ever more complex. It can be understood that many who administer IT systems for corporate entities may have a problem with fully recognizing what is required of them with the new technology. In addition, as the old vanguard of backup technology continues to take up space, eat away at system resources and present a rather limited potential, there are a host of new possibilities on the market today.

PHD's VMWare backup solutions offer an incredibly powerful and streamlined system for maintaining the security and fidelity of your systems, files and data, all in a much easier and fully integrated package than previous methods of system server backups.

Here are the three things that you need to know about PHD's virtual backup solutions, and what they can do for your IT department today.

Virtualization Is Going To Be the Dominant Form of Computing In the Next Decade

The truth is that the next decade is going to see a major shift away from firm, hardware computing where a given system can only run the specific software that is installed, to a paradigm where computers become highly adaptable virtual machines, that can implement and utilize all kinds of software easily, efficiently and effectively. The key to this technology is in the principle that software code can pliable, and that a machine that is capable of emulating any platform can then operate any type of software, despite its hardware limitations.

VMware Backup Software Optimizes Performance As Well

Because of this, backup software solutions will not only be able to protect data and make backing up files more efficient, it can optimize the performance of your servers and systems, and allow a nearly resource free operation of major software applications. Imagine a network that uses nearly no memory or processing power, but has full capability. That is what virtualization brings to the table.

Run a Virtual Version of Every Type of Operating System

One of the great benefits of virtualization is that it allows host servers to run every type of operating system, whether it is Windows, Mac OS, Ubuntu or Linux. This can save you money and time with having to run multiple host servers for different systems running different operating platforms.
