Virtualization, a relatively recent technology in the IT landscape, has rapidly gained acceptance by organizations worldwide. Its adoption has ushered in a transformative era in hardware infrastructure, effectively establishing a novel architectural paradigm. At its core, virtualization is a strategy aimed at optimizing hardware resource utilization.

With virtualization, multiple operating systems and applications can be concurrently installed on a server, allowing the dynamic allocation of CPU, graphics card, and storage resources as needed. Server virtualization merely represents the initial phase of this innovative approach. The ultimate goal is to create fully virtualized infrastructures spanning hundreds of servers and storage units, a goal easily attainable through virtualization. This approach not only yields substantial savings in hardware resources and associated costs but also diminishes the reliance on hardware within your operational environment, simplifying system replacement and updates. Consequently, enhanced manageability and streamlined support are the primary dividends of this approach.
