Virtualization
With average server and storage utilization rates ranging between 5-15%, the majority of medium sized businesses computing capacity and investment is laying fallow. Virtualization helps to reclaim this unused capacity by allowing application workloads to be managed independent of host hardware, so multiple applications can share a single, physical server.Workloads can be moved from one host to another to meet peaks and valleys in application usage, averting expensive slowdowns, outages and downtime.Using virtualization enables IT to manage their infrastructure as a pool of resources, rather than a collection of physical devices, increasing utilization well over 70%, helping them improve their ROI and deliver better support and services to the business.
Consolidation
Stranded computing capacity has been created by IT managers addressing business growth by adding new servers, storage, or printers as needs arise. This unplanned growth is leaving many Midsize businesses who rely on the server room or data center to run their business with a fragmented infrastructure that is difficult and expensive to manage,house and power.
By upgrading to newer, more powerful technology, they can reduce the amount of hardware in the server room AND actually increase service capacity. The result is a reconciled, planned structure, easier and cheaper to manage, house and power. Plus they can free up time and money to be allocated back into the business.
