Virtualisation of IT Infrastructures

With a continued trend of new applications requiring even greater computing power and storage capacity, the traditional data center has become central to the business and associated with a need for continuous processing and physical expansion as more data is stored.

It is clear that significant investment will continue to be made in these increasingly heterogeneous and complex environments. This cost, and the associated issues of expansion can be greatly reduced through the virtualisation of server and storage environments.

For this reason, virtualisation solutions are a primary focus for decisionmaking in the design and implementation of future data centers.

Typical capacity utilization of IT components:

Benefits of virtual infrastructures:

• Significant increase in capacity utilization of IT components directly increases the TCO
• Reduction of costs for system administration
• Short-term and flexible provision of services for users
• Intelligent, open virtualisation solutions make it possible for
• hardware to be independent in the data center
• High level of availability makes business processes more reliable.
