A Virtualised World
Virtualisation involves creating a virtual hardware platform, operating system, storage device or network. It presents a very agile and efficient way to reallocate resources and prioritise business needs – so that you can get more from your existing IT investments.
There are massive gains to be had by switching to virtualisation, with reduced IT expenditure and protection against systems failures being the major drawcards. Here’s why:
- By using virtualisation technologies – which encompass OS, server, presentation, application, desktop, and network – you can reduce the number of physical devices deployed, resulting in capital and operational savings.
- Virtualisation technologies make your OS and business systems highly available and/or fault tolerant, delivering improved availability across all IT systems for improved business performance.
Yet, like all business crucial systems, a virtualised environment must be carefully designed to cater for the current and future requirements of the business; and then carefully managed to avoid issues like virtual server sprawl and additional licensing, management and maintenance costs.
