In the realm of computing, virtualization involves creating a virtual version of a device or resource, be it a server, storage device, network, or even an operating system. This process entails dividing the resource into one or more execution environments. Even a seemingly straightforward action like partitioning a hard drive falls under the umbrella of virtualization, where one drive is partitioned to create two distinct hard drives. The virtual resource, once established, allows devices, applications, and human users to interact with it as if it were a real, singular logical resource. The term “virtualization” has evolved into a buzzword and is now associated with various computing technologies, including the following:
- Server virtualization: the partitioning a physical server into smaller virtual servers.
- Operating system-level virtualization: a type of server virtualization technology which works at the operating system (kernel) layer.
- Network virtualization: using network resources through a logical segmentation of a single physical network
- Storage virtualization: consolidation of multiple network storage devices
- Application virtualization
- VMWare
- Microsoft Hyper-V
- Application virtualization
- Desktop virtualization
- Storage virtualization
The implementation of virtualization can enhance IT agility, flexibility, and scalability, leading to substantial cost savings. Accelerated deployment of workloads, improved performance and availability, and automated operations contribute to IT systems that are simpler to manage and less expensive to own and operate..
- Reduce capital and operating costs

We can assist your company in virtualizing and consolidating your data center/server room, reaping the benefits of virtualization. Through virtualization, your company can optimize the utilization of server resources and minimize the need for physical servers. This leads to server consolidation, enhancing efficiency and reducing costs. The consolidation of server farms and data centers results in decreased operational and management expenses, enabling your company to achieve more with fewer IT assets, facilities, and personnel – some of the most costly resources.
We can help you reduce IT Costs and Increase Control with Server Virtualization
Our team can aid in lowering server costs through server virtualization and consolidation. We offer assessment and planning for Physical to Virtual (P2V) migration, allowing you to centralize server management and automate your infrastructure.
Minimize over-provisioning, enhance server utilization, and reduce the environmental impact of IT by consolidating your server hardware through a virtualization platform.
- Cut hardware and operating expenses by up to 50 percent and energy costs by as much as 80 percent, resulting in substantial yearly savings for each virtualized server workload.
- Trim the time required to provision new servers by up to 70 percent.
- Minimize downtime and enhance reliability with business continuity and integrated disaster recovery.
- Provide on-demand IT services, independent of hardware, operating systems, applications, or infrastructure providers.
