In a recent CIO survey, virtualisation was named as a key infrastructure priority for CIOs to cut costs and avoid wasting power over the next 12 months.
What is Virtualisation and what can it do for me?
Virtualisation is the consolidation of hardware devices in a logical environment. For example, one virtual network device could take an image of a physical network rack and make a digital version of it, keeping all the devices separate in its memory.
But what's the point in having a virtual version instead of an actual one?
A lot of companies turn to virtualisation when they want to boost the capacity of their IT infrastructures - but in a cost and space efficient way.
Virtualisation benefits companies by providing;
- Flexibility to make real-time changes without any manual work
- Lower the cost of managing multiple devices
- Cost efficient way of boosting IT infrastructures
- Fewer physical servers means a smaller electricity bill and fewer cooling systems needed
- Disaster recovery benefits as systems are virtual
- Green IT and governance
