MONETT, Mo. – Jack Henry & Associates announced yesterday the launch of server virtualization, which distributes computing power by consolidating multiple independent server environments.
The company's Matrix Network Services group, which provides local and wide area network design, implementation, and support services, offers the technical expertise and extensive working knowledge of Jack Henry & Associates' complementary solutions to assist credit unions and banks in evaluating and implementing virtualized environments.
By breaking the "one solution to one server" model with virtualization, the number of physical servers can be dramatically reduced and excess computing power can be redistributed dynamically to where it is needed. As the processing power of today's servers continues to increase, it is now easier than ever for one, more powerful server to replace multiple smaller servers.
Reducing the number of physical servers reduces hardware costs and ongoing energy requirements, reduces floor space and cooling requirements, expedites the deployment of new business solutions, enhances disaster recovery and business continuity, and can solve a number of inherent IT-related operational issues.
