Virtualisation
What is virtualisation?
Virtualisation is the operation of software within an emulation (virtual version) of a physical environment. The software (such as operating systems and applications) continue to interact with what it recognises as a real environment whilst it is actually interacting with an intermediary which manages access to the real environment, typically as a pooled resource.
Why virtualise?
Breaking the direct dependence between the logical and the physical means you can change the logical or physical "layers" without one impacting the other, reaping many potential benefits. You can utilise real physical assets more effectively by sharing them, add to them or take some away as needed, move software from one physical platform to another for increased resilience, simplify management of IT and much more.
Put simply, virtualisation will help you to drive down Total Cost of Operations, improve operational flexibility, optimise use of existing assets, simplify IT management and enable rapid IT changes.
Although virtualisation can be considered in various categories (see below), most organisations will employ a combination of server, storage and network virtualisation to get maximum benefit.
