Benefits to Virtualization
- Reduction in datacenter costs through consolidation
- Reduce the number of physical servers, ending server sprawl
- Reduce rack space requirements, control datacenter floor space consumption and delay or stop expansion issues
- Reduce network and storage cable requirements
- Reduce monthly recurring power and cooling costs with a smaller server footprint
- Eliminate “vendor lock-in” on hardware
- Hardware abstraction provides Guest OS instances with a consistent set of virtual hardware devices, whether running on Oracle, Dell, HP IBM, AMD or Intel.
- Allows you to control server acquisition costs without disrupting golden images, processes, etc.
- Simplify upgrades and migrations
- Migrate from one storage device to another, non-disruptively
- Add server capacity when you need it move virtual machines to faster hardware seamlessly without application re-installs, re-certification or regression testing as typically required when migrating between physical servers
- Snapshot application servers before patching or software upgrades to provide immediate fall-back capability, enabling safe and simplified patch management.
- Protects business critical applications during upgrade
- Enables business efficiencies for test/development cycles with cloning and snapshot technologies for quicker testing
- Allows more teams to test concurrentl Simplify desktop support, and increase productivity Desktop issues occur regularly and reduce productivity due to excessive maintenance
- Breathe new life into old desktop assets that no longer provide adequate performance
- Control data access and theft concerns
- Eliminate virus proliferation and performance complaints at the source
- Automatically refresh desktop instances nightly without impacting users.
- Patch one golden image, and populate it to the entire VDI farm
- Deploy new software from a consolidated management platform
- Eliminate unauthorized “third-party” software on company assets.
