Why virtualization?

Creating a unified IT environment through virtualization is a vital step toward enabling an adaptive infrastructure. Your IT organization can gain the flexibility to quickly adapt to the changing demands of your business via virtualization.

Your organization can achieve substantial, long-term benefits from virtualization that include:

• Reducing costs – Since servers, storage, networking and other resources are pooled, resources can be allocated as required. This helps your IT organization achieve greater asset utilization, improve IT staff productivity and reduce operational costs.

• Increasing business agility – By making your infrastructure more flexible, your IT organization can more easily allocate IT resources to meet new service demands. Adding capacity to meet new or expanding computing requirements can be completed in a matter of minutes or hours.

• Improving the quality of IT delivery – The ability to quickly analyze your resource needs and dynamically allocate resources helps your IT organization meet – or exceed – service level agreements.
