The OVH virtualisation
OVH offers your many possibilities to manage your machines. Isolation, virtualisation or infrastructure in the cloud ? Choose solutions that match best your needs.
The isolation
With virtualisation solutions made for the isolation offered by OVH, you can easily manage the rights of different users on your dedicated server. Different virtual machines, with the same operating system, will be in production on the machine. You can then manage the rights per machine and per user (visibility / CPU / RAM / network / ...).
What distribution to choose? | |
|---|---|
 | ProxmoxProxmox is a virtualisation solution based on Debian Lenny 64-bit. |
 | VirtuozzoVirtuozzo allows you to manager a complete virtual infrastructure with 64 bit CentOS. Virtuozzo allows you to migrate your content on the fly without interruption of service. |
The virtualisation
You want to take advantage of virtualisation on your computer, and optimise its use? These solutions allow you to install multiple OS on your OVH dedicated server. Each virtual machine can have a different OS. It will be managed by your hypervisor. So you can get away from the usual schema of one application per server, and use your dedicated to its full capacity.
What distribution to choose? | |
|---|---|
 | Citrix XenXen hyper-visor is free. It allows you to run different operating systems in isolation on a single server, or the same platform. |
 | Hyper VHyper-V is published by Microsoft and is based on a lightweight Windows server 2008 kernel and is based on the concept of paravirtualization and hypervisor with the help of Intel VT and AMD-V. |
 | VMware ServerVMware server allows the partitioning of any server and virtual machines by splitting the CPU / RAM / networks / storage. |
Virtualisation infrastructure
If you have important requirements for CPU / RAM and storage, you can opt for virtualised infrastructure, you can build your own infrastructure at OVH. You can consolidate your various servers in a virtual rack, allowing them to communicate privately and securely in a dedicated VLAN. You'll also be able to add high availability storage space.
