Alongside the cost reductions on physical aspects of IT, the business can save money with enhanced functionality provided by virtualisation increasing productivity. By removing mundane tasks, IT can focus on making a real difference to the business.

Here are a few examples:

Reduced server deployment times

Companies can take over 4 weeks to deploy a physical server; from initial procurement to complete configuration of the server. With virtualisation, we can provision servers in a matter of days, fully configured and available.

Hardware maintenance with zero downtime

With the ability to migrate and run virtual machines on any physical host, we can ensure there is no downtime to systems due to patch management or any kind of hardware maintenance.

Increase Service Delivery

In a few clicks you can manage the whole virtual infrastructure providing remote support to users and improving server performance by providing additional hardware resources.

Disaster Recovery

With virtualisation, virtual machines are encapsulated into a set of files. These files can be copied, moved, backed up by any ordinary backup strategy. Recovering a system has never been this easy.

Before Virtualisation After Virtualisation
Instant Provisioning 4-6 weeks Fully automated to days
Live Migration Hardware maintenance window; app migration takes days/weeks No maintenance window or planned downtime; migrate app in seconds
Patch Management Patch each host manually with downtime Automated patching with no downtime
Disaster Recovery Weekend testing, uncertain restore Automated testing during day, quick/reliable restore
Service Delivery Slow, error-prone development / testing Automated self-service development / testing
Iterative, error-prone release management Push-button, precise release management
