Virtualization
Virtualization is a powerful solution which maximizes an organization’s computing resources while reducing many of the associated costs.
This is accomplished by hosting multiple virtual computers—each with their own virtual CPUs, network interfaces, storage, and operating systems—on a single physical system. The hardware of this system is dynamically shared with all of its users, allocating resources to different user tasks as needed. The result is that your computing assets will be more efficiently utilized and the number of physical machines and related IT hardware in your data center will be reduced. This reduction in physical machines leads to lower IT costs for real estate, power, and cooling requirements, and enables your IT staff to be more effective.
