Complex IT architectures and processes limit your agility and flexibility and create barriers to change.
Shrinking or static budgets make it difficult to meet the business demands with traditional infrastructure models.
Business units are turning to public clouds for on-demand access to IT services, causing compliance risks.
Server virtualisation enables multiple operating systems to run on a single physical server as highly efficient virtual machines. Key benefits include:
By completely reproducing a physical network, network virtualisation allows applications to run on a virtual network as if they were running on a physical network — but with greater operational benefits and all the hardware independencies of virtualisation.
Deploying desktops as a managed service enables IT organisations to respond faster to changing workplace needs and emerging opportunities. Virtualised desktops and applications can also be quickly and easily delivered to branch offices, outsourced and offshore employees, and mobile workers using iPad and Android tablets.
Virtualisation can increase IT agility, flexibility and scalability while creating significant cost savings. Greater workload mobility, increased performance and availability of resources, automated operations – they’re all benefits of virtualisation that make IT simpler to manage and less costly to own and operate.
Greater business continuity
Simplified data centre management
The innovation of the IT world constantly develops fresh ways to use existing hardware and system capability to make things faster, more efficient, and more secure. Virtualization condenses control of multiple non-physical computers into one desktop. This allows the user to manage numerous operating systems with full capabilities from the same seat.
This type of optimization for almost any tech-related business can revolutionize certain types of projects, minimize overall expenses in the workplace, reduce the need for additional employees or full-time, in-house IT teams, and more.
Instead of switching back and forth from one computer to the next in order to test new programs, operating systems, and other things, the person can use one piece of hardware as multiple computers at the same time.
These virtual machines compartmentalize an entire computer system inside another one. It allows them to run different applications on the same piece of hardware with no risk that one will influence or affect the other. Virtualization creates a safe sandbox environment for anything you would not want to do on your existing OS.
Virtual machines allow for safe access to potentially harmful things. For example, if an operating system has a beta release you want to test, loading it onto a computer of its own can cause problems to former function or security. If a virus affected a database or code, you cannot simply dive in to see what happened without a lot of protection in place. Virtual machines make it possible to do both of those things and more in a safe and efficient manner.
From a business standpoint, you also save a lot of money on hardware and, potentially, extra personnel. Instead of a complete workstation for every test or task, you can stock your office with fewer computers taking up a lot less space. Employees will appreciate working at one desk instead of zooming around on a wheeled chair between multiple workstations.
Virtualization may even help you save money on office rent. When you combine multiple virtual computers into one workstation, you will not need as much square footage for everyone to set up separately. Savings also come in the form of lower utility bills. The use of virtual machines is an environmentally sound option because it is naturally more energy efficient.
Another important benefit of the virtual concept involves the reduction in network traffic. Every data transfer or communication process travels through the business network with lightning speed. Virtualization removes some of this communication from the network completely because it all takes place inside one computer. Lower congestion may increase efficiency elsewhere in the infrastructure.
Experience less wasted time in hardware set ups when you do not need any additional machines to tackle the tasks necessary to keep your business moving forward. Likewise, maintenance needs decrease because there are simply fewer computers and system parts to worry about. When using virtualization, almost every type of operational expense may decrease. This change can directly influence a business’s potential for profit.
