Virtualisation

In a business world which is increasingly competitive, reducing costs, enhancing performance and increasing flexibility can be essential to ensuring business success and profitability. This is where virtual environments come in. Virtualisation is the creation of a virtual version of something rather than an actual version of it. This can bring many benefits to businesses including:

  • Huge cost saving for businesses. Hardware costs are reduced because fewer servers need to be purchased. In many businesses there are numerous computers which are using less than 20% of their total resources. However with virtualised solutions you can use fewer computers using 70% of their total resources. In effect you will have less computers which will be working harder.
  • More flexibility as employees can access all their applications remotely - meaning they can access the system from anywhere in the world providing they have an internet connection.
  • More space in the office or data centre as there will be a reduced number of servers.
  • Applications will run at their best as they will not interfere with each other.

Essentially through virtualisation you can improve the efficiency and availability of IT resources and applications. You will no longer have the problem of having one server and one application as you will be able to run multiple virtual machines on each physical machines.

So What is Virtualisation

Here's an analogy which puts Virtualisation into simple terms.

Imagine computers as people walking up stairs. Each person has to use their own energy to get up the stairs. This is wasteful because the energy could be used elsewhere. However, if you imagine virtualisation as escalators, instead of lots of people using their own energy they are all being carried by one escalator and are therefore not using as much energy.
