Virtualisation - Flexability and Consolodation.

Server virtualization has been firmly embedded in the mainstream of enterprise IT for many years and remained somewhat out of reach for many Small and Medium sized Businesses (SMB). This is however no longer the case and many SMB’s are leveraging the benefits of server virtualization. Although the concept has been around since the 1960’s, its only really become mainstream in the business sector in the last five to seven years. Virtualization can be defined as the substitution of physical hardware computers, with digital ones. Similar, to email being an electronic version of a physical letter, a virtual server is a digital copy of a computer tower.

Server Virtualization makes it possible to increase utilization of your physical server assets.

It also helps in reducing power consumption as less hardware machines are required to carry the IT workload and enables business requirements to be met and rapidly adapted. Increased redundancy, flexibility, business continuity and reduced capital expenditure are also amongst the many advantages that can be gained by deploying a virtual server environment.
