Employing virtualization can save 50 - 70% on overall IT costs by consolidating resources.
Virtualization improves the efficiency and availability of resources and applications for organizations. It helps save an organization's financial resources, as well as increase its' energy and efficiency.
Virtualization is a method of running multiple, independent virtual operating systems on a single physical computer. It maximizes your physical resources and thus maximizes the investment in hardware. Virtualization provides a means of achieving higher server density, reducing not only costs and the amount of hardware that needs support, but downtime as well because there are fewer servers to maintain. This generates significant savings for organizations.
Protecting Data.
It's important that a single service is not residing on only a single server. Each type of virtual server should be put on at least two physical servers. This allows for complete redundancy. So, when a single server fails or needs maintenance the second server automatically and seamlessly kicks in.
Implementation
Migration to a virtual server is quick and easy with the "physical to virtual" tools provided by the solution - no need to rebuild or reconfigure.
Added Value
The virtualization images created can be used to instantly recover all of your servers - essentially acting as a disaster recovery pln. Active Directories and Exchange servers can be recovered in under an hour by rebuilding the virtual server from the "physical to virtual" image.
Cost
Your annual hardware maintenance costs on old server based hardware - which will be eliminated - will likely be enough to pay for all of the new hardware, becoming an investment that virtually pays for itself.
