Breaking the bond of one computer, one operating system, virtualisation makes it possible to run multiple operating systems and applications on the same server at the same time, increasing the utilisation and flexibility of hardware.
By pooling common infrastructure resources, virtualisation makes it possible to achieve significantly higher resource utilisation – enabling the reduction of the number of servers and related IT hardware in the data centre. This leads to reductions in real estate, power and cooling requirements resulting in significantly lower IT costs.
Virtualisation also offers a new way of managing IT infrastructure and can help IT administrators spend less time on repetitive tasks such as provisioning, configuration, monitoring and maintenance.
bluesource partners with VMware, the world’s leading provider of virtualisation solutions to substantially lower costs, provide more flexibility and offer a more automated and resilient infrastructure capable of responding to variable business demands.
