Virtualisation has revolutionised the way that many IT infrastructures are deployed and managed today. Through improved utilisation of your existing infrastructure, leading to lower energy and cooling costs, less capital expenditure and pull on management resources, it’s possible to achieve a significant reduction in TCO. No wonder then, that Gartner has identified virtualisation as the highest impact trend in the IT market through to 2012.
In a recent IDC White Paper (Business Value of Virtualisation: Realising the Benefits of Integrated Solutions), analysis showed the potential to lower server costs by 35% per user – moving to a virtualised infrastructure with basic server consolidation and virtualisation software. However, research also showed that by extending virtualisation across both server and storage environments and employing increasingly sophisticated management tools, a total reduction of 52% per user could be achieved each year.
