Virtualization Business is Project Business

Virtualization is not a new technology and its roots go back to the 1960's where it was sometimes deployed in mainframe computing. However, the need to optimize networks and cut server related costs has fueled demand for this technology.

A virtualization solution is not a bundle of products. Unless the solution addresses a real need of the client, and is configured to work within their business environment to deliver optimum performance, it is just a collection of boxes.

Virtualization is a different approach to managing hardware and the applications that run on it. Historically, companies required multiple servers to manage different applications such as email, print, internet, security, storage, CRM and ERP, to name a few. Virtualization software now enables multiple applications to be managed on a single server.

Advantages: Reducing the number of servers creates savings in many areas, namely hardware, maintenance and power consumption.
