Data center virtualization can provide savings on several fronts. The costs associated with physical features, such as floor space, power and cooling, are reduced. And, virtualization lowers the costs of servers, storage and network expenses.
These financial gains are significant. But equally important is the streamlining and enhancing of IT operations. Data center managers have fewer things, such as facilities and equipment, to manage. Although consolidating servers creates value, integrating computing, storage, network, management and security technologies through virtualization provides a powerful management approach.
By virtualizing data center operations and not just the servers, the IT infrastructures becomes more efficient and flexible. For example, resources can be consolidated and sharing capabilities increase economies and efficiencies even further. A coordinated virtualization strategy combining all components multiplies the benefits significantly.
In addition, virtualization in the data center provides a dynamic infrastructure to support a wide range of applications. By eliminating physical hardware, data center staff can gain new management capabilities.
For example, live applications can be migrated across servers without disruption. If hardware fails, the application availability is increased. Backup, disaster recovery, performance, security are all substantially improved. And, data center managers can easily scale operations as requirements change.
