Virtualization is the foundation of a modern IT infrastructure!
Performance Gains in Hardware Drive Virtualization
Virtualization allows one computer to do the job of multiple computers, by
sharing the resources of a single platform across multiple environments
Traditional Architecture
A single OS controls all
hardware platform resources
Virtualized Architecture
Each Virtual machine is an isolated software container with
an operating system and applications. A single computer
can run multiple VMs
Legacy OS Support
Server consolidation Lifecycle Management• Software upgrades
• Disaster recovery
• Future hardware upgrades
• Test environments
