Benefits of Datacenter Virtualization
In the recent times, there has been an overwhelming increase in the requirement for datacenter virtualization. The question arises is why there has been such a need? In this regard, we need to understand that if the key objective of enterprises today is business continuity, then it means running operations 24 x 7. All the best practices that are in operation, suggests the use of geographic redundancy to set up multiple data centers in various locations, with identical data and applications. Is there a need to duplicate everything here? Certainly, not. This is where datacenter virtualization comes into play.
Major IT players that deal in datacenter virtualization, offer their clients and users a conventional network of consulting services that effectively virtualizes storage networks, desktops and servers. This is where the client’s hardware assets are taken over, and is virtualized and rented back to them on a per virtual, per month instance basis.
Effective and efficient datacenter virtualization, results in a host of benefits. From an architectural point of view, the advantages are many. There are significant savings that results from efficient infrastructure use, simplified management, 99.999 per cent availability and better operational efficiency. Service providers offering datacenter virtualization solutions ensure competency in hardware requirements as well. This means, an organization would require lesser hardware or low priced hardware system to carry on the same work. In addition to this, under this system if there is a need to bring down a server without affecting the others in use, it can be done smoothly by taking out or adding in systems that support the underlying architecture.
There exist other reasons that justify the need of datacenter virtualization. One has to take into consideration the percentage of performance and information at the time of replication procedures. In such a situation, the supreme challenge is not associated with the link capacity or bandwidth. Rather it is the fact, that what amount of data can be transferred simultaneously while doing away with the protocol communication. There have been clients and users with various connectivity’s such as OC-3 connecting data centers, where the process of replication only uses a small fraction of the pipe. With so much data that is there to transfer the replication process takes a long time. Keeping all these in mind there are various modes of data center virtualization solutions that put into use a WAN acceleration process to mitigate this issue.
Benefits of datacenter virtualization are manifold and results advantages such as better architecture availability, performance, security and a reduction in the cost of hardware acquisition.
