Virtualization offers the following benefits to an IT infrastructure for any size of business:

​

• Reduced Cost – Instead of requiring multiple physical servers to run your infrastructure, virtualization will allow you to run many servers on a single physical machine.

​

• High Availability – Virtualization offers options such as replication allowing an exact copy of a server to exist in multiple locations (not on a single physical server) so that in the event of a hardware failure downtime can be minimized by simply having another device take over.

​

• Infrastructure Management – This technology allows us, the IT administrators, to make changes to the machine with greater ease. This lessens the amount of downtime that typical IT management may require.

​

• Recovery – Instead of having to rebuild a server from the ground up, we will have the option to restore the entire server from backup with ease.

​

• Disaster Recovery – In the event of a natural disaster, virtualization gives the option to recover everything either to the cloud or another branch site. Which in turn reduces downtime and gives your company the redundancy that is a must for any IT infrastructure.
