Virtualization has emerged as a leading solution to reduce IT related costs while maximizing efficiency and improving utilization and flexibility of existing resources. Virtualization allows you to pool resources across the enterprise by running multiple virtual machines on a single physical machine. With a virtual infrastructure, you can run computing, storage and networking hardware, as well as your operating system and applications, on a single machine. By virtualizing your IT infrastructure, IT Managers can be more responsive to changing organizational needs while making better use of infrastructure investments.

Virtualization Features:

Server Consolidation and Containment – Eliminates “server sprawl” and underutilization by deploying virtual machines that can run safely and move transparently across shared hardware. Server consolidation and containment can reduce hardware and operating costs by as much as 50%.

Test and Development Optimization – Provisions test and development servers by reusing pre-configured systems, enhancing developer collaboration and standardizing development environments.

Business Continuity – Reduces the cost and complexity of business continuity (high availability and disaster recovery) by encapsulating entire systems into single files that can be replicated and restored on any target server, minimizing downtime.

Enterprise Desktop – Secures unmanaged PCs, workstations and laptops without compromising end user autonomy by layering a security policy in software around desktop virtual machines.
