What is Virtualization?

Virtualization is the process of creating a software-based, or virtual, representation of something, such as virtual applications, servers, storage and networks. It is the single most effective way to reduce IT expenses while boosting efficiency and agility for all size businesses.

Benefits of Virtualization

Virtualization can increase IT agility, flexibility and scalability while creating significant cost savings. Greater workload mobility, increased performance and availability of resources, automated operations – they’re all benefits of virtualization that make IT simpler to manage and less costly to own and operate.

Server Virtualization

Server virtualization enables multiple operating systems to run on a single physical server as highly efficient virtual machines free to run their own applications and services. Expect reduced operating costs, faster workload deployment, increased application performance, higher server availability, elimination of server sprawl and complexity.
