Virtualisation

Minimised physical hardware; maximised efficiency

Virtualisation offers the benefits of an on-premise solution with a cloud-based infrastructure.

It’s the creation of virtual versions of your servers which are then run on just one single physical server. This act of consolidation can dramatically reduce hardware costs and means servers can be accessed by users in ways that are unrestricted by physical configuration or geographic location.

Businesses are choosing a virtualised environment for their IT infrastructure to bring down the cost of hardware and also because businesses are now becoming much more environmentally conscious. Power consumption by servers is huge, so consolidating to just one server can radically reduce your carbon footprint and the level of power consumption at your location.

Virtualisation is the single most effective way to reduce IT expenses while boosting efficiency and agility, not just for large enterprises, but for small and mid-size businesses too. It allows those responsible for managing your server to manage your entire server farm from one single central console, making it easy to use which can help increase productivity. We are seeing more and more companies take advantage of virtualisation and use on-premise equipment to handle standard functions, but ultimately store highly sensitive data and employ cloud solutions when they require additional capacity.
