Several years ago, the concept of virtualization began to be talked about in the Information Technology community. As server rooms became crowded with multiple racks of complex hardware, I.T. professionals started to ask, how can I do more with less? The answer was virtualization. Virtualization is defined as running a server that has the ability to run multiple operating systems such as Microsoft Windows, Unix and Linux and their accompanying applications all at the same time on a single piece of hardware. Think about it: where there used to be six servers, we can now run everything on a single server, with no loss in performance and a lower Total Cost of Ownership!  This ease of use is where Virtual Promise makes its debut. Virtual Promise is a wholly contained operating system, database server and web server all running in a virtual machine. This virtual machine is totally independent of the host operating system. What does this mean? It means, you can run Virtual Promise on any modern class server, regardless of the host operating system! If you want to run Virtual Promise on Linux...FINE! Do you want to run it on Microsoft Windows? Go for it!  You may ask what you will pay for this cost saving system. Well, the virtualization technology is FREE!!! By clicking on the VMware images below, you'll learn more about this outstanding technology. Virtual Promise, as always, will be reasonably priced and will be provided with industry leading support for a nominal fee.  Virtual Promise, one more reason to consider a new solution to the problems faced by the Comparative Medicine Community.
