Virtualisation, in computing, is the creation of a virtual version of something, such as a hardware platform, operating system, storage device, desktop or network resources.  The concept of virtualisation is not a new one; it has been around since the 1960’s.  However it wasn’t until the early 2000’s that virtualisation (primarily server virtualisation) started to gain momentum in the enterprise market.

Today, virtualisation is one of the hottest topics in the information technology industry.  The benefits of virtualisation (both server and desktop) are numerous and range from efficiently, manageability, speed of deployment, business continuity and even carbon footprint.  Sinet IT Solutions has invested heavily in virtualisation technologies so that we can be on the forefront of virtualisation innovations and pass the benefits of these innovations on to our customers.  Sinet IT Solutions’ key partners in virtualisation technology are Microsoft, VMware and Citrix.
