What is Virtualization?

By decoupling the data and applications from the physical resources they run on, IT organizations have the flexibility to manage resources in new ways that allow them to meet changing workload demands.

Types of Virtualization

• Server• Storage• Network• Applications• Operating Systems

Why Virtualization?

A fully orchestrated virtualized infrastructure can respond quickly to new application demands and service requirements, because IT is not constrained by a predetermined relationship between services and physical hardware.

Virtualization Benefits

With correct methodology, virtualization can:

• Increase server, network, storage & application resource utilization

• Increase operational efficiency & responsiveness to business units

• Reduce rack footprint, power & cooling costs

• Centralize management & reduce administrative costs

• Reduce Recovery Point Objective & Recovery Time Objective

• Increase security & data protection

• Create a more scalable & reliable IT environment

• Improve product lifecycle management

• Lower total cost of ownership

Virtualized IT Resources

Servers

Server virtualization can consolidate several physical machines into one server running multiple virtual environments. This can eliminate server sprawl, increase server utilization, and significantly reduce capital and operating expenses. InterVision’s virtualization experts design and deploy a consolidation strategy based on best-in-class virtualization solutions and technologies.

Virtualized IT Resources

Desktops

Virtual desktops can make it easier to get new computers up and running, simplify desktop management, improve security, and reduce hardware, software and resource costs. InterVision can help you choose the right infrastructure and software to create a dynamic virtual desktop infrastructure solution that improves application performance and efficiently utilizes resources.

Virtualized IT Resources

Storage

Storage Virtualization is the separation of logical storage from physical storage so that it may be accessed without regard to physical storage or heterogeneous structure. Virtualization of storage helps achieve location independence by abstracting the physical location of the data. The virtualization system presents to the user a logical space for data storage and handles the process of mapping it to the actual physical location.

Virtualized IT Resources

Network

With software-defined networking, virtualization principles are applied to network resources, abstracting, pooling and automating them to overcome the limitations of physical architectures. Network services are assigned to each application and remain with it, adapting to its changing requirements.

Virtualized IT Resources

Applications

Application virtualization encapsulates application software from the underlying operating system on which it is executed. A virtualized application behaves like it is directly interfacing with the original operating system and all the resources managed by it, but can be isolated or sandboxed to varying degrees.
