Data center virtualization has the potential to unlock a multitude of efficiency gains for IT infrastructures such as cost savings, scalability, and disaster recovery capabilities. In order to maximize these benefits, IT teams must implement best practices and employ carefully selected tools. This whitepaper collection on IT infrastructure is focused on the main components required to build and manage a modern, virtual data center that is accessible, flexible and secure.
Virtualization allows multiple virtual machines to run on a single physical hardware. This reduces the number of servers needed. This decrease in equipment leads to savings on hardware, power and cooling and lower maintenance costs. It also allows for better utilization of existing assets which is a huge benefit for organizations seeking to be more environmentally responsible in their IT infrastructure. VMs can be isolated from each other, so that a failure of one VM does not affect other VMs, or the hardware used in the underlying. This gives a degree of security for sensitive information. Finally, scalability is enabled and deleting or adding VMs is a simple process without the need to purchase new hardware. This allows businesses to respond to changing demands for workloads quickly and to be able to adapt quickly to the changing technological landscape.
