Mobile - Wireless Communications White Papers

Virtuozzo Enables Cost Effective Disaster Recovery Solution

Overview SMS Central provides cutting-edge mobile services to businesses. SMS Central provides services across four continents and manages interconnects to every mobile service provider. Its infrastructure includes shared servers in locations across the globe. While the services were particularly reliable in a shared server configuration, there was a long-term failure exposure. Any effect on service levels and business continuity for its end users is unacceptable; mobile communications is a zero-downtime service industry. In order to provide the redundant and always available server configuration required by its business model, SMS Central explored three virtualization solutions: Microsoft Virtual Server, VMware ESX, and SWsoft's Virtuozzo.
