Virtual Technology Introduction

By Exforsys | on February 10, 2009 |
Virtualization

How Virtualization can Enhance Your ROI

Virtualization is a type of technology that allows a single computer to do the same job that would normally be required of multiple computers. It does this through sharing resources from one computer through a large number of environments. 

Both virtual desktops as well as virtual servers will give you the ability to house more than one OS, and you can also host many applications locally and in locations which are remote. This frees you from the geographical and physical limitations that you would normally have to face.

Another advantage of virtualization is the savings you get in terms of energy.  You also get greatly reduced capital costs because your hardware is used in a much more efficient way. It is also important to get high availability in terms of your resources, and you can also get enhanced desktop management, along with a much better level of security, and rapid disaster recovery methods. All this can be made available to you when you construct infrastructure which is virtual.

One of the most important aspects of virtualization is the virtual infrastructure. Virtualization allows for a number of opportunities which can be used to enhance both capital and the efficiency of operations.   While safe partitioning has typically been used in the past, virtualization allows you to go far beyond these limitations.

Many customers who have tried virtualization have found that they can harness this power in order to manage IT capacity in a much better way, and they also have enhanced service levels and IT processes which are greatly streamlined. The term has been coined for the virtualizing of the infrastructure for IT, and this is often referred to as being the virtual infrastructure.

What is the definition of Virtual Infrastructure?

Virtual infrastructure can be thought of as the mapping of resources which are necessary for business needs. Much of this mapping will be conducted in a dynamic manner, and while the virtual machine may symbolize the physical resources within one computer, the virtual infrastructure will symbolize the resources for the whole IT environment, and this includes the x86 computer and the network which is attached to it. This will be done with a collection of IT resources which are unified.

Virtual infrastructure is made up of a number of things, and some of these things include hypervisors which are single-node, a collection of distributed system infrastructure services which are based on virtualization, which will be used for the optimization of the resources that are available for the virtual machines.

Also included are the automation solutions that offer useful capabilities which can be used for the optimization of specific IT functions like disaster recovery. Through the decoupling of the whole software environment through the hardware infrastructure which underlies it, virtualization allows numerous servers to be aggregated.

The infrastructure for the storage and the networks may be aggregated within pools of resources that will be shared and sent in a dynamic manner, and it will also be transferred securely. This approach is considered to be cutting edge in the industry, and it gives organizations the ability to construct computing structures through high levels of availability and automation. This is done through the use of building blocks that come from standard servers which are inexpensive.

Virtual Infrastructure Advantages

Virtual technology has now made it possible to make use of the power of virtualization in its full capacity. It can be done in IT environments that are production level, and this is accomplished through the construction of virtual management and automation abilities which are connected to a high end hypervisor.

One thing that should noted is that as much as 80% of customers make use of virtualization for the purpose of production, and another 40% or more use state of the art production programs that are based on virtual machines.

The virtual infrastructure tools are excellent for production environments, and the main reason for this is because they make use of servers and desktops which are industry standard. They offer support for a large number of operating systems, and they also offer support for many application environments.

The capabilities of virtualization technology would not be complete if they did not provide support for the infrastructure of both networking and storage. Solutions have been designed which can function in an independent manner from the operating systems and hardware, and this offers customers a platform choice which is broad.

Because of this, the solutions offer key integration points for the management of hardware and infrastructure, and this allows the vendors to offer a value which is differentiated, one that can be applied via many applications and OS environments.

The customers who have made use of virtualization technology have gained a number of benefits. Some of these include utilization rates which are as high as 80%, and a savings which is as high as $3,000 per year for each workload that they virtualize.

They are also capable of provisioning fresh applications in minutes instead of weeks. It has also be shown that companies that make use of virtualization technology are able to enhance their recovery time by as much as 85%. Such benefits has allowed virtualization technology to become the most sought after technique by many companies world wide.
