10 BENEFITS OF VIRTUALIZATION: THE FULL LIST

10 BENEFITS OF VIRTUALIZATION: THE FULL LIST

What are the other benefits of virtualization?

Last week we talked about virtualization and about the first 5 benefits connected to the use of this technology.

As promised, today we will complete the list of the top benefits: let’s discover together what are the other 5 main advantages of virtualization.

6. Isolate resources
The virtualization avoids compatibility application issues and improve the server efficiency through the application isolation, by providing the right amount of CPU, storage and memory units without wasting any more resources.

7. Better testing
Virtualization makes easier the development and test of new application: thanks to up-to-date snapshots a tragic mistake can be solved turning back to the previous environment without any kind of loss. The risk of testing is dramatically reduced and you have more benefits, for example the opportunity to isolate the testing environment.

8. No vendor lock-in
Another benefit is that you don’t have any vendor lock-in. Virtualization implies an abstraction between hardware and server that means no lock-in in the usage of a particular kind of server, or even of a specific server model, with the maximum flexibility not available in a physical environment.

 

9. Disaster recovery & business continuity
Virtualization manteins a high-quality business continuity and a better disaster recovery.: with up-to-date snapshots get full backup is easier and faster and the disaster recovery plan turns out to be more effective in case of failure.

Moreover, should disaster hit the data center itself, the virtual machines can be easily moved elsewhere, by avoiding to compromise the entire company. Plus, you can test how your DR plan works in reality rather than hoping that it will work if the time comes!

10. Ease of management
Management became easier with the use of a single control console rather than distributed resources as in a physical environment. Any management operation (software configurations, adjustments…) can be easily executed without any issues due to the lack of data or application update.

Now that we have described all the major benefits of virtualization, we can say for sure that it is an effective and convenient technology from many points of view.In the coming weeks we’ll explore the concept talking about the main virtualization solutions: Virtual Deskopt InfrastructureVirtual Private Server and Virtual Data Center.
