Verbania executives have heard that virtualization is the “holy
Because virtualization allows companies to consolidate physical hardware and virtualize applications at significantly lower costs, it is regarded as the ultimate IT solution. This means that multiple applications can be hosted on one server. It eliminates many resources required to run each individual application separately, like additional storage, power supplies and networking components.
Because virtualization can migrate software snapshots easily from one host machine to the next, it allows faster disaster recovery and better application scalability. Virtualization also offers greater flexibility to organizations who want to migrate their legacy workloads onto modern cloud-based systems, or create hybrid environments that combine data center infrastructure and public cloud services.
Last but not least, administrators and developers can use automated provisioning tools to easily deploy virtual machines in minutes with minimal manual intervention.
