Virtualization Overview

Virtualization allows multiple virtual machines with heterogeneous operating systems to run in isolation, side-by-side on the same physical machine. By decoupling the physical hardware from the operating system, virtualization allows you to improve your "Physical Footprint", reduces hardware and storage operating costs, and ensures maximum utilization of invested infrastructure.

The utilization of  virtualization technology, allows for the decoupling of applications and data from the physical resources they run on. This provides IT the ability to deliver and maintain data center services more efficiently, dynamically and with more flexibility. Virtu can be used to improve a variety of problem areas: server sprawl reduction, proper resource utilization, service availability improvements, disaster recovery templates, product lifecycle management, and centralization of individual server resources. 

Benefits of Virtualization

• Lower total cost of ownership (TCO): Virtualization helps IT achieve higher utilization rates, power reduction, greater operating efficiency, and cost reduction.
• Improved flexibility: The abstraction offered by virtualization enables non-disruptive planned downtime and more rapid recovery from unplanned disruptions.
• Greater agility: A fully orchestrated virtualized infrastructure can respond quickly to new application demands and service requirements because IT is not constrained by a predetermined relationship between services and physical hardware. DRS pools enable VMware guests and resources to be moved and managed, dynamically. 
• Increased operational efficiency and responsiveness to business units.
• Improved manageability.
• Simple, rapid and reliable disaster recovery.
• A “greener” corporate environment.

Virtualization solutions reduce your IT costs while improving efficiency, availability, flexibility, and manageability of your infrastructure. No matter how large or small the organization, the proven technology of virtualization can rapidly transform the IT landscape. Today’s corporate enterprise needs a scalable storage and server infrastructure that is easier to manage, more cost-effective and reliable, and more robust. With powerful storage provisioning, data protection, and de-duplication, storage solutions complement the virtualization solution.  

InterVision's virtualization solutions help organizations aggressively optimize their IT and Production infrastructures by providing overall cost reduction, while providing more fluent management architecture.  InterVision’s virtualization experts can recommend which virtualization technologies would work best for you, along with advantages and disadvantages of each. With all the different virtualization products in the market – InterVision can help you to understand how each solution works for your enterprise.
