Everybody who’s anybody is saying it: even in quite small organisations IT managers would be well advised to investigate the potential for savings and efficiencies through consolidation and virtualisation – of their servers, storage, operating systems and whole IT networks. Virtualisation meaning decoupling the physical infrastructure hardware from the software and data it runs by means of an abstraction layer that provides for policy-based management of shared resources. The business case involves everything from reduced server real estate and complexity to simplified admin, improved utilisation, possibly also resilience and certainly flexibility – including with archiving and back-up. It’s about making the infrastructure cheaper to buy, own, run and manage, as well as better able to respond to changing business requirements, even on the fly.
