Virtualisation

Virtualisation represents an abstraction from physical resources. Basically, it makes it possible to run multiple virtual machines on one physical machine, sharing the resources of that single computer across multiple environments. Virtualisation transforms hardware into software - CPU, RAM, fax servers or hard disk - to create a virtual machine entirely functional that is capable of executing its own OS and its own applications like a real computer.

You can manage numerous physical resources virtually and remotely from a single console as if they were physically installed on each workstation.

Fax Virtualisation

Esker Fax Server solution can be seamlessly implemented in a virtual machine without any hardware by integrating fax with your Voice over IP network. Fax over IP, using the boardless Dialogic® Brooktrout® SR140 platform, leverages your VoIP architecture to fax enable users and applications without requiring any fax boards.

Here are a few of the exciting benefits you get with virtualisation: Lower the cost of operating fax servers by up to 40% Consolidate existing and expected future workloads Get new services and applications up and running faster Ensure business continuity Reduce your carbon footprint by moving from paper to digital workflows

How it works

Technically, virtualisation is performed by inserting a layer of software on a hardware platform. The software creates a simulated computer environment – the virtual machine – capable of hosting an operating system that runs as if it were installed on a stand-alone hardware platform.
