In today's uncertain global economic
environment, IT managers in big enterprises
are confronting the challenge of
cost-effective utilization of IT infrastructure. In
responsiveness, they are supporting new business initiatives
and flexibility in adapting to organizational
changes. Along with IT budget constraints, they have
to address more stringent regulatory requirements. To address these business
challenges, virtualization is a fundamental,
technological innovation that allows skilled IT managers
to deploy creative solutions. It helps to
consolidate many individual small servers on one
larger server, which helps in using system
resources more efficiently.
Virtualization is now sneaking into every layer of the IT ton. The business world is
investigating and learning the opportunities that exist
in virtualization, its operating systems and applications, with an aim to align
storage infrastructure and are looking to consolidate
server systems. As virtualization impacts all aspects
of business applications to networks, it is now
seen as a key enabler of IT effectiveness. By adopting
a virtualized approach to infrastructure, management and deployment, organizations
can consolidate the number of servers they are
running and potentially streamline their development
and testing procedures. More and more companies have already implemented virtualization and
are getting accustomed to the new technology with their business continuity needs. |
