Why Invest in Virtualisation?
• Cut costs via server consolidation and manage assets from
one platform
• Improve disaster recovery and backup plans
• Provision computing resources to end-users more quickly, and simplify software deployments
• Offer more flexibility to the business – access the same applications and data from virtually
anywhere
• Improve security – important data remains locked away in a datacentre
• Increase compliance – help ensure that version control and authorisation are maintained across
users
