1. Enhance Organizational Performance with Datacenter Virtualization
The fast growth of global business establishments and the stiff competition prevalent in the business
environment demands business continuity irrespective of the time differences across geographically distant
locations. Such challenge pushes the organization to depend more on the fast paced IT environment making
way for investment into technologically enhanced infrastructure. Further the growth of organization also
leads to more data storage and processing and the need for establishing data centers at various locations to
overcome the issue of business continuity.
However, the data centers equipped with world-class and high density IT infrastructure, networking
equipments had a small life span. The technological growth of data centers led to higher power consumption,
heat generation and other physical challenges for the data center service providers. Further, the spread of
data centers across regions to meet the fast paced requirements of data retrieval and access, led to the use of
replicated applications and data duplication. In face of all the challenges faced, leading service providers have
worked out data center virtualization methods.
Further, with IT outsourcing becoming an important aspect of cost-effective product life cycle, and the arising
demands for customized applications across the product life cycle has brought in the requirement of high
accessibility levels of the critical business information across the global development teams. This also calls
for the need of strong information security measures to be deployed across the data centers.
The modern day data centers are not just repositories of corporate data, but are strategic assets necessary to
maintain the growth of digital data, infrastructure performance, application availability, and scalability. Data
center virtualization will only help pave way for increasing the mobility and changing the application delivery
methods to the users. By virtualizing the data center environment, organizations tend to mitigate issues such
as low resource utilization and other traditional client-server environmental problems. Virtualization with its
flexibility, adaptability and reduced technology requirements is a breakthrough for the networked
environment.
Datacenter virtualization offered by the leading IT giants can be enumerated as a 5-phase life cycle process
that starts with
Assessment and analysis of the existing infrastructure and applications
Bringing about architectural and operational design changes as per environmental requirements.
Implementation and integrating of virtual infrastructure

2. Facility Management and
Transformation
Further, as organizations with organizations being concerned with their carbon footprints on the
environment, IT giants have worked out eco-friendly data center virtualization models. These would help
organizations save on power with 80-90% less energy consumption. Data center virtualization without any
upfront investments, helps to reduce the number of hardware installed bringing the cost down in sizable
forms.
Besides allowing IT managers trim budgets, data center virtualization helps organizations to increase
performance by:
increasing reliability and ensuring business continuity
Speedy deployments and upgrades,
reduces IT overhead
In other words, these solutions accelerate service delivery, improve profitability, provide system integration
and reduce risk for new business developments while providing opportunities to scale up with technological
innovations.
