Virtualisation is the one true solution which allows us to address the following IT constraints:
-
Server’s CPU and storage utilisation
-
Management costs and automate operational procedures
-
Cooling and associated electricity consumption
-
Physical space constraints within the datacentre
-
Flexibility and scalability of systems
-
Efficient capacity planning and thin provisioning
-
General levels of service and system resilience
-
Heterogeneous environments and storage tiering
Above all these aspects, virtualisation is a real tool for the consolidation of systems and applications. However, the implementation of virtualisation requires a detailed analysis of the existing environment.
