Data center virtualization could unlock a whole host of efficiency gains for IT infrastructures such as cost savings, scalability, and disaster recovery capabilities. To maximize these advantages, IT teams must implement best practices and employ carefully selected tools. This collection of IT infrastructure whitepapers concentrates on the most important components required to build and maintain a modern, virtualized data center that is accessible, flexible and secured.

Virtualization permits multiple virtual machines to be run on the same hardware, which means there are fewer servers required in total. This reduces the need for equipment, leading to savings on equipment, power and cooling, as well as reduced maintenance costs. It also provides better utilization of existing assets which is a huge benefit for organizations seeking to be more environmentally responsible in their IT infrastructure. Additionally, VMs are segregated from each other, so the failure of one VM does not affect other VMs or the underlying hardware which adds an element of security for sensitive data. Furthermore, scalability is facilitated, as adding or deleting VMs is a simple process without requiring the purchase of new hardware. This allows companies to respond to shifting workload demands with ease and adapt proactively to a changing technology landscape.
