Types of virtualization mcr can help you with
Server virtualization
- Divides one physical server into multiple virtual environments, reducing the number and types of servers that you use.
- Has become the 'sweet spot' in the current market; the entry level virtualization for most organisations.
- More than 60 percent of IT departments have or will use it in the coming years.
- Gives you significant cost savings due to lower power consumption
- More effectively use of your IT infrastructure
Desktop virtualization
- Separates a personal computer desktop from the physical machine.
- The virtualised desktop is stored on a remote central server, allowing your users to access it from any device capable of displaying the desktop, such as a PC, Laptop, Sun Ray or HP thin client.
Storage virtualization
- The pooling of physical storage from multiple network devices into a single data storage device, managed from a central console. Greatly frees up physical space.
Network virtualization
- Combines resources in a network by splitting the available bandwidth into independent channels. Each channel is then assigned to a particular server or device in real time.
- A new technology expected to rise in popularity as vSphere 4.0 and the Cisco Nexus 1000 switch become commonplace in data centres.
