IT departments are under increasing pressure to deliver more value to the business through improved service delivery, operational efficiency, energy cost reduction, and more. Virtualization plays a critical role in how this is accomplished by separating the software from the hardware in order to improve agility, streamline maintenance and reduce the number of physical servers the IT team must support individually.
A virtualized data center infrastructure will:
- Reduce the number of physical servers needed, supported and maintained, which results in:
- Less physical space requirements
- Lower power and cooling costs
- Reduced equipment expense
- Eliminating physical maintenance windows for troubleshooting
- Provide for business continuity through simple server recovery
- Improve data and network security and compliance
- Defer construction of new facilities—or avoid it altogether
- Increase asset utilization resulting in greater flexibility that drives business growth
- Decreases time to deploy new servers and applications
In addition to servers, virtualization architecture incorporates storage, network, backup and data recovery environments and can also include virtualizing desktops to extend hardware lifecycles.
