Virtualization, be there or be square


These next few weeks we have something very exciting going on. If you want to talk about the cutting edge of technology for businesses of all sizes, virtualization is it. With so many terms floating around associated with server (or even service) virtualization, it can be a daunting and intimidating thing for small businesses. TH2 Technologies wants its partners to know that as Orange County computer repair techs, we not only understand it, but are making an example of ourselves by transitioning our infrastructure. That’s right, TH2 Technologies is making the switch to a virtualized environment, and we are inviting you to follow our lead!

For those that don’t know, virtualization is a technology that allows a single server to run multiple, separate “virtual machines” or “virtual servers” on one server. These virtual servers are fully functional versions of operating systems, but are allocated only a portion of the “Host” machine’s actual resources. This allows a server to be better utilized by dividing and divvying resources to tasks. This also prevents a business from investing unnecessary amounts of money into brand new servers while still gaining additional resource capabilities!

TH2 is in the process of migrating one of our servers to VMware’s ESXi. ESXi is a “hypervisor”, and once our server is running ESXi, we will be able to add at least 2 more virtual machines. This is allowing our Orange County computer support specialists to run more servers, and better utilize our current resources, without an actual investment in additional hardware! Give us a call, and we can see how virtualization can help your business stand up that extra server you have needed, but just haven’t been able to afford.

Windows 7 Excitement

Hi! My name is Ricky Carleton, and I am TH2 Technologies’ newest employee. I am so excited to become a part of this family, and can’t wait to meet all of our clients.

TH2 Tech is doing a lot of very exciting things right now. One of the hottest things on the market is Windows 7. This is a time of strong transition for many small networks, specifically those running Windows XP. XP is not far from its End of Life (EOL) now that Windows 7 is on scene, and this will inevitably force small businesses to upgrade. We here at TH2 just did our very first full office rollout of Windows 7. The office was 10 computers, and the install went very smoothly. We upgraded one machine first, and installed all the software that the office uses to make sure that everything was compatible, and then rolled out the other 9 machines right after. The biggest difference this is going to make for small businesses is that Windows 7 actually runs better than Windows XP on a majority of systems, including old ones! Buying Windows 7 licenses is vastly cheaper than replacing an ageing desktop with a new one, and can give your whole network a much needed face lift without the massive investment in brand new systems that you may not actually need. TH2, the premier Orange County computer support team is more than happy to provide any interested parties with a quote on an upgrade for networks of all sizes, and survey your hardware to let you know if any hardware upgrades are necessary or not.


This was a great opportunity for TH2 Technology to really show what we are capable of. We will continue to be on the cutting edge of technology, enabling our small business clients to compete at a big business level.
