Virtualisation and Data Centre Consolidation

Through virtualisation, companies will improve the efficiency and availability of IT resources and applications. This enables IT departments to eliminate the old “one server, one application” architecture and run multiple virtual machines on each physical machine.

Business benefits include:

Reduced IT costs and improved flexibility due to dynamic resource management, faster server provisioning and improved desktop and application deployment.
Decreased downtime and improved reliability, leading to greater Business Continuity and improved Disaster Recovery capabilities.
Reduced capital costs by improving energy efficiency, a reduced Data Centre footprint which enables a compliant Green IT approach.
