Virtualization

An effective virtualization strategy is a key component of today’s business technology environment. Virtualization is the core technology leading the cloud revolution. Virtualization allows you to maximize efficiencies by running multiple virtual servers on a single physical server – resulting in significantly reduced total cost of ownership and the ability to allocate workload for the best server performance.
