One of the major challenges facing any business is reducing cost of IT operation while maximizing efficiency and availability of services. In today’s fast changing market, IT flexibility, agility, and versatility are critical to achieve high degree of business continuity. Virtualization is a mature and invaluable technology that allows the creation of fast and reliable IT infrastructure which can respond to dynamic business environments.
Virtualization has compelling business case; it provides significant financial benefits while delivering exceptional operational and technical efficiency. Virtualization has became one of the strategic investments for highly available IT operation, insuring high level of business continuity at lower cost.
Benefits of Virtual Servers:
• Virtual servers enable companies to consolidate application and data servers onto fewer servers. This results in significant reduction of IT cost and simplified IT management.
• Applications and users of different functions and operations can be isolated from each other.
• Consolidation of servers also results in lower energy bills and reduced cooling cost. In 2007 for every dollar spent on new servers, 50 cents was spent on power cooling cost.
• Most servers are typically utilized under %30 computing capacity. By running multiple instances of operation system and applications, hardware resources can be utilized at much higher levels. This will result in increased overall IT Infrastructure efficiency.
• Virtual servers can adapt faster to new and changing business needs and deliver required computing and storage resource to the new business operations.
• IT processes can be automated at higher level resulting in lower staff time.
• System upgrades and updates are easier and faster ensuring lower server down time.
• Recovery from hardware and software failures and crashes are faster. Virtualized server can be an important part of the disaster recovery processes.
• Rapid test and development of business applications is possible by providing an alternate virtual platform.
• Risk to business continuity is reduced by certifying and benchmarking applications on a virtual platform prior to deployment on the operational servers.
