so what does it mean? and more importantly – what can virtualisation do for you?

what is virtualisation?

virtualisation software allows you to run many ‘virtual machines’ on one server.

Historically an organisation would have separate email, file and application servers. With virtualisation all these servers can be virtualised, consolidated and run from one server.
This reduces hardware costs as virtualisation allows you to ‘pool’ your hardware resources – making IT more flexible and cost-effective.

Users are beginning to reap a range of benefits from virtualisation, here are just a few:

• consolidation of servers;
• free up floor space;
• run multiple operating platforms simultaneously on the same server;
• host legacy software;
• reduce power overheads, by powering and cooling less servers;
• flexibility for business growth;
• easier software back up;
• recover quickly from systems failures and maintain business continuity;
• migrate data with no downtime;
• cost savings on software licences; and
• test and develop application in a secure environment without affecting main IT system.

Virtualisation can help you achieve your business objectives.
