Technically, Virtualization is the pooling and
sharing of IT resources, including servers,
storage and networking. Through virtualization,
resources can be allocated dynamically across
your organization’s applications and processes.
In a virtualized environment, the logical
functions of computing, storage and network
elements are separated from their physical
functions. Elements from these pools can then
be manually or automatically allocated to meet
the changing needs and priorities of a business.
These concepts can be applied broadly across the
enterprise, from datacenter resources to PCs and
printers.
Through virtualization, people, processes and
technology work together more efficiently to
meet increased service levels. Since capacity
can be allocated dynamically, chronic
over-provisioning is eliminated and your entire
IT infrastructure is simplified.
Virtualization helps your organization transform
its IT environment to an adaptive infrastructure
that enables automated 24x7 lights-out
computing. |
