Server Virtualisation
Increased competition, escalating costs, mergers and acquisitions, poorly utilised information technology. These pressures are forcing organisations to transform data centers into next-generation facilities that can better support business growth and speed innovation.
As a key element of a next generation data center and an enabling technology for data center transformation, server virtualisation can help streamline the delivery of new services and deploy resources quickly to address changing business requirements.
Key drivers include:
- Consolidation – Consolidation focuses on simplifying, standardising and reducing the number of data centers you have. Server Virtualisation can help reduce resource sprawl and lower the amount of physical space required to house an infrastructure. As the demand for resources increases, IT departments can easily add capacity rapidly – without breaking budget.
- Business Continuity & Availability – No organisation can afford disruptions to business operations. Server Virtualisation can help reduce planned downtime and radically cuts the time to recover from unplanned downtime.
- Energy & Space Efficiency – The costs associated with energy use and space requirements can affect an organisation’s bottom line. Server Virtualisation addresses both of these concerns head on. Since a virtualised data center contains less hardware, it reduces the costs associated with powering and cooling the equipment in the data center environment and make better use of current facilities.
- Automation – Companies automate their operational processes to reduce staffing costs, lower the risk of human error and keep their business services up and running. Server Virtualisation supports automation activities by simplifying infrastructure and instilling a high level of standardisation across an entire data center environment.
