Virtualization has rapidly been adopted throughout all facets of modern IT infrastructure environment. Virtualisation has revolutionised the way businesses deploys their server infrastructure, storage, networking and hosted client environments.

Virtualisation Benefits
Virtualization of your IT infrastructure helps you reduce capital expenditure outlaid on expensive server, networking and storage infrastructure while dramatically increasing the flexibility, efficiency and maximizing utilization of your existing server infrastructure. Virtualization improves the availability and efficiency of applications and computing resources within your business.

Server resources are quite often underutilized by being limited to a single applications and roles for each server deployed. This limiting factor has a real world cost in management of those individual servers and also increases the likelihood of breaks in business continuity due to an increase in the number of possible points of failure.

Server consolidation through virtualization reduces these operational overheads and reduces actual running costs;

1. Fewer servers translate into a smaller Data Centre footprints, which lowers Data Centre housing costs, increased energy efficiency and dramatically lower cost of financing on a per Machine / Unit basis.
   
   
2. Virtualisation lowers the costs of management, and reduces IT overheads by offering a unified interface to manage multiple machines at once, combined with lowering the cost associated with hardware failures, upgrades and change management by effectively abstracting the operating system from hardware.

Virtualization increases business continuity by giving your IT staff the ability to migrate and back up your entire virtual environment with no downtime or interruptions to application availability. Virtualization also grants a business the added benefit of greater infrastructure operational flexibility by allowing dynamic server resource management. In real world terms this means faster server provisioning and desktop/application deployment.
