Virtualisation
Virtualisation allows a single computer do the same job as many, by sharing its resources much more effectively.
The objective for organisations adopting virtualisation is usually to simplify complex IT environments by consolidating many physical servers into fewer servers, all controlled from a single management interface.
There are a number of additional operational and business benefits that can be achieved through the adoption of virtualisation.
Business Benefits
- Reduced capital expenditure
- Improved System Availability
- Improved governance and standardisation
- Environmental Benefits
Operational Benefits
- Fewer physical servers to manage, replace, and maintain
- Reduced operational costs
