Server virtualization is a technology that allows running multiple virtual machines on one physical server. Each virtual machine operates as a separate computer with its own operating system and applications, which allows efficient use of computing resources and reduction of equipment costs. Learn more about AIS design and development for virtual environments.
A virtualization system allows running multiple operating systems on one computer (server). Each instance of such guest operating systems operates with its own set of logical resources (processor, RAM, storage devices, backup). The allocation of resources from the common pool is managed by the host operating system — the hypervisor.
In addition, data transmission networks, data storage networks, platform and application software can be immersed in the virtualization environment. FINTECH JSC has developed the software platform SintezM, the main unit of computing process in which is the virtual machine.
Advantages of server virtualization for the public sector, business and data centers
The virtual environment created on the basis of the SintezM software platform allows solving the following tasks:
- Isolation of the computing process — ensuring software integrity and protection against unauthorized access
- Undemanding to the server hardware — operation on a wide range of equipment
- Convenient management and administration via the technological management web portal, which is a "working tool" for the system administrator and security administrator
- Ensuring continuous availability of virtual machines — constant copying of memory state and processor instructions in real time; in the event of failure of a node or part of the cluster, the working copy of the virtual machine (Primary) will instantly switch to the "secondary" (Secondary) or "shadow" copy running on another server
- Automatic load balancing on CPU and RAM
- Storage load leveling — ensuring the required level of storage occupancy and/or I/O latency
- Continuous monitoring of the state of the operating system and applications, immediate notification of the administrator about detected deviations, automatic application of pre-prepared scenarios for protecting virtual machines
- Support for hardware USB port passthrough technology
- Adding CPU "on the fly" — without downtime
- Use of multiple controllers in the virtual environment, the ability to roll back to an old "snapshot" of a virtual machine or restore it from a backup copy
Russian virtualization systems for import substitution
FINTECH JSC offers server virtualization implementation based on Russian hypervisors included in the registry of domestic software. Our solutions ensure full import substitution and compliance with regulator requirements. FSTEC certification confirms the security and reliability of the virtual environment for processing restricted access information, including information constituting a state secret.
We use Russian virtualization systems — zVirt, Alt Virtualization, as well as our own SintezM platform. All solutions have FSTEC certificates and meet the requirements for processing restricted access information.
Turnkey server virtualization implementation
We offer a full cycle of works on virtualization system implementation: from architecture design to commissioning and technical support. Our specialists have many years of experience in building fault-tolerant server clusters, virtual machine migration and integration with the customer's existing IT infrastructure.
Key server virtualization capabilities:
- Isolation of computing processes — guaranteed protection of virtual machines
- Fault-tolerant server cluster — continuous 24/7 availability
- Automatic load balancing on CPU and RAM
- Virtual machine migration without stopping services
- FSTEC certification — compliance with regulator requirements
Server virtualization is closely related to data storage systems for data centers and data and virtual machine backup systems, since it ensures the management of virtual machines and their protection. The integrated implementation of these technologies allows building a modern secure data center that meets the highest reliability and security requirements.
Integration with other technologies
Server virtualization is the foundation of a secure data center and is directly related to data storage systems, which provide disk space for virtual machines. Backup systems allow creating VM snapshots and restoring them in case of failures, while control and management systems provide monitoring of hypervisor load and cluster state.
