Virtualization essentially lets one
computer do the job of multiple computers, by
sharing the resources of a single computer across
multiple environments. Virtual servers and virtual
desktops lets you host multiple operating systems
and multiple applications locally and in remote
locations, freeing you from physical and
geographical limitations. In addition to energy
savings and lower capital expenses due to more
efficient use of your hardware resources, you get
high availability of resources, better desktop
management, increased security, and improved
disaster recovery processes when you build a virtual
infrastructure.
virtualization make it possible to
run multiple operating systems and multiple
applications on the same computer at the same time,
increasing the utilization and flexibility
of hardware. Multiple virtual machines share
hardware resources without interfering with each
other so that you can safely run several operating
systems and applications at the same time on a
single computer.
Industry standard
virtualization technology is VMware.
The VMware approach to virtualization
inserts a thin layer of software directly on the
computer hardware or on a host operating system.
This software layer creates virtual machines and
contains a virtual machine monitor or “hypervisor”
that allocates hardware resources dynamically and
transparently so that multiple operating systems can
run concurrently on a single physical computer
without even knowing it.
Top 5
Reasons to Adopt Virtualization Software
1. Server
Consolidation and Infrastructure Optimization:
Virtualization makes it possible to achieve
significantly higher resource utilization by pooling
common infrastructure resources and breaking the
legacy “one application to one server” model.
2. Physical
Infrastructure Cost Reduction:
With virtualization, you can reduce the number of
servers and related IT hardware in the data centre.
This leads to reductions in real estate, power and
cooling requirements, resulting in significantly
lower IT costs.
3. Improved
Operational Flexibility & Responsiveness:
Virtualization offers a new way of managing IT
infrastructure and can help IT administrators spend
less time on repetitive tasks such as provisioning,
configuration, monitoring and maintenance.
4. Increased
Application Availability & Improved Business
Continuity:
Eliminate planned downtime and recover quickly from
unplanned outages with the ability to securely
backup and migrate entire virtual environments with
no interruption in service.
5. Improved
Desktop Manageability & Security:
Deploy, manage and monitor secure desktop
environments that end users can access locally or
remotely, with or without a network connection, on
almost any standard desktop, laptop or tablet PC.
