Virtualisation

As organisations expand, so do the demands on their IT infrastructure. The result is often a complex and costly environment to manage. Organisations are now able to do more with less by using virtualisation technologies.

A virtual infrastructure allows the management of hundreds of servers from a central location, eliminates scheduled downtime and enables the dynamic movements of workloads. By using virtual infrastructure technologies organisations can utilise their existing and/or new hardware and achieve more, lowering IT costs through increased efficiency, flexibility and responsiveness.

For example, lets look at an IT infrastructure with 100 servers, all running at around 20% of utilisation (which is an industry agreed figure for Intel server utilisation); with a virtual infrastructure, this environment could typically be consolidated to 20 servers that run multiple applications and operating systems, enabling numerous virtual server units to exist on a physical server without conflict. The same level of service is achieved - it's simply doing more with less.
