Data center virtualization is a great way to unlock a multitude of efficiency gains for IT infrastructure that include cost savings, scalability, and capabilities for disaster recovery. In order to maximize these advantages, IT teams must implement the best practices and use carefully selected tools. This collection of IT infrastructure whitepapers concentrates on the most important elements required to create and manage a modern virtual data center that is accessible flexible, secure and flexible.
Virtualization allows multiple virtual machines to run on the same physical hardware. This reduces the number of servers needed. This reduces the amount of equipment required, which leads to a reduction in hardware, cooling and power expenses and maintenance costs. This also allows for better utilization of existing assets, which is a major benefit for organizations seeking to be greener in their IT infrastructure. VMs can be separated from one the other, ensuring that a failure of one VM does not affect other VMs or the hardware used in the underlying. This offers a higher level of security for sensitive data. Scalability is also enabled as adding or the removal of VMs without the requirement to purchase new hardware is done swiftly. This allows businesses to adjust to changing demands for workload and to a constantly changing technological environment with ease.
