Server Virtualization

Marathon Solutions has been working with Virtualization Technologies since the inception of server and workstation virtualization.

We have experienced, and have worked with several flavors of virtualization platforms including products such as Microsoft Hyper-V, VMware ESX and ESXi servers as well as Citrix Xen.

Our recommended virtualization platform is Microsoft Windows Server 2016 Hyper-V platform, based on the licensing benefits, tighter integration with other Microsoft products, and the best solution for the physical to virtual conversion of Microsoft server operating systems.

For organizations that have already invested other virtualization platforms we can assist with the modifications & tuning of the virtual infrastructure including the support of existing and new virtual guest servers.

Our virtualization consulting practice includes, but is not limited to, the following topics:

• Determining if virtualization is right for your organization
• Selecting a virtualization platform or virtual server hosting provider
• Determining the requirements of a server virtualization infrastructure, including assessing any server consolidation options
• Designing and implementing a virtualization solution including high availability virtualization as necessary as well as storage requirements and product selection.
• Deployment of the new virtualization solution
• Delivery of training to the designated company IT staff
• Server Consolidation tasks
• New Server Deployment tasks
