Data Center Virtualization Whitepapers
Data center virtualization has the potential to unlock a whole host of efficiency benefits for IT infrastructures such as cost savings, scalability, and capability to recover from disasters. To reap the maximum benefits, IT departments must use carefully chosen tools and implement best practices. This collection of IT-infra whitepapers is focused on the main elements needed to construct and manage a modern, virtual data center that is accessible flexible, secure and flexible.
Virtualization allows multiple virtual machines to run on the same hardware, resulting in there are fewer servers required in total. This decrease in equipment leads to savings in equipment, power and cooling and also lower maintenance costs. It also allows for better utilization of assets and can be a huge benefit for companies that want to reduce their environmental impact. Additionally, VMs are segregated from each other, meaning that the failure of one VM doesn’t affect other VMs or the underlying hardware that provides a layer of security for sensitive data. In addition, scalability can be enabled by allowing the addition or deletion of VMs can be done swiftly without requiring the purchase of new hardware. This allows businesses to respond to changing demands for their workloads easily and swiftly adapt to a dynamic technology landscape.
