Server virtualization is a hot concept in the IT world. But when faced with the prospect of actually implementing this strategy, being trendy isn’t enough. Before moving to server virtualization, it’s wise to take a long, analytical look at what it involves from a logistical and financial perspective.
- Reduced Costs
- Quick Deployment
- Reduce Risks
- Improve Uptime
- Increase your operational efficiency by reducing physical infrastructure
- Avoid potentially costly delays with a speedy, cloud-like infrastructure deployment model
- Protect critical data by hosting applications within a managed dedicated environment
- Includes backup, recovery and uptime guarantees, backed by our industry-leading SLAs
Virtualization Solutions include:
- Growth opportunities for IT staff: Server virtualization allows IT staff to spend less time doing routine work and putting out fires and more time on strategic development.
- Lowered capital and operational costs: A highly compelling reason why virtualization is being embraced by many organizations is the positive effect on the bottom line.
- Redeployment and reduction of machines: Many companies have old x86 hardware that’s underutilized and contributes to “server sprawl.” Data center floor space can be expensive, and these extra machines add to the IT management burden.
- Better response time: Virtualization can improve application performance, and the provisioning of virtual machines takes only minutes, rather than weeks. At progressed levels of implementation, self-provisioning by users is even possible.
- Improved application availability: When physical servers have problems, need routine maintenance, or require upgrades, the result is costly downtime. With virtual servers, applications can be readily moved between hosts to keep everyone up and running.
