Traditional system set ups have seen an inefficient and wasteful use of resources with a ‘one server for one application’ model. This invariably means that neither the memory nor processing capacity of the server is being used to its maximum potential, leading to organizations investing in hardware that they don’t necessarily need and, crucially and often over-looked, facing expensive power and maintenance costs.
In a Virtualized model, multiple servers can be consolidated, immediately leading to massive savings. In addition, users can set the memory and processing capacity assigned to each application, ensuring that each is running as efficiently as possible. The flexibility of Virtual Machines also allows users to up or down scale capacity easily to cope with an increase or drop off in demand.
