Virtualization can increase scalability while reducing costs. Some of the benefits that enabling virtualization can bring to an organization are:Cost Savings – When you enable virtualization, a single physical server is replaced by multiple virtual machines thereby reducing idle compute time and promoting optimum utilization of resources. Personnel time to manage can be alleviated through improved server utilization. By enabling virtualization, organizations facing resource crunch can do away with multiple servers. Downtime Reduction and Flexibility during Disaster Recovery – When a physical server is affected, replacement or repair is often time-consuming. With virtualization, the virtual machine can be cloned or replicated, significantly speeding up the recovery process and enhancing business continuity. Improved Productivity and Efficiency – Given the nature of the virtual environment, virtual machines are easier to install, maintain and update. Hardware maintenance and monitoring efforts can be reduced drastically since the same updates are not required on each server separately. Thus, improving utilizing the IT team effectively. Development and Testing – Simulation of virtual machines helps the developer to run tests without altering the production environment. Software updates can be rolled out faster since the environment offers agility for development & testing.Enhanced Security – Since virtual servers are isolated, security is more adaptive in such an environment protecting the virtual machines from malware and vicious attacks as they move from one host to another.
