Focus: on premise virtualisation

While analysts predict enterprise investments in on-premise IT will continue to dwindle as time goes on, virtualisation remains a popular means of getting more out of the servers, storage and networking hardware that many still have deployed in their datacentres.

Server virtualisation, for example, has allowed datacentre operators to improve the efficiency of their facilities, while reducing the amount of physical floor space the hardware inside takes up.

For enterprises that have already gone down the server virtualisation, the next logical step is often to embrace the private cloud deployment model, and ramp up their use of products and services that fall under the software-defined category.

In this e-guide, we take a closer a look at the virtualisation of on-premise resources, and find out why it remains such an important process for enterprise datacentre owners to go through.

  • Server Virtualisation: Why it rules the roost

    Server virtualisation has helped many enterprises over the years breathe new life into ageing infrastructure, and ensure – through the creation of multiple virtual machines – that more of the hardware’s processing power is put to use.

    Huge cost and performance efficiencies within the datacentre can be achieved through the use of server virtualization, which is why it has proven so popular.

    So much so, analysts estimate the average enterprise has 80-90% of their server estate virtualized these days.

    In this e-guide, we take a closer look at server virtualization in the enterprise, and find out why it remains such an important process for datacentre operators to go through.
