About Virtualization

Virtualization is an approach to IT that pools and shares resources so that use is optimized and supply automatically meets demand. It is a proven software technology and reduces costs, promotes green IT and vastly reduces the computing footprint in ever expanding data centers.

Virtualization makes it possible to run multiple operating systems and multiple applications on the same computer at the same time. Customers can use virtualization for their servers, storage, Networks, Applications, Desktops, Printing etc.

Facts on Virtualization

• India is predicted to be a big potential for Virtualization in 2008.
• 45% of X86 Servers to be Virtualized in 2008 in India- IDC India
• Virtualization market in 2007 was roughly 2.2 billion and estimated growth by 2010 is 4 billion. IDC Worldwide.
• Countries like Canada etc are almost virtualized by 95% and in India we are not even at 5%.
• Virtualization will be the most impactful trend in infrastructure and operations through 2010 -Gartner
• The total number of virtual machines deployed worldwide is expected to increase from 540000 at the end of 2006 to 4 million by 2009.

Benefits of Virtualization

• Reduces Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) by maximizing server and data centre utilization
• Support multiple applications and operating systems within a single physical system
• Consolidate servers into virtual machines on either a scale-up or scale-out architecture
• Treat computing resources as a uniform pool to be allocated to virtual machines in a controlled manner
• Reduce complexity and manage increasing heterogeneity within the data centre
• Lowers costs of server acquisition, maintenance, and operations
• Reduces physical space needed for hardware and server racks
• Leverage cutting-edge technologies to improve IT service, availability and utilization
• Drives standardization of hardware platforms and improves manageability
• Improve the effectiveness of your production and DR environments
• Ensure maximum performance and availability of your consolidated environments

Application Delivery Solutions & Services

Applications are the closest intersection between IT and business. The business today runs on Applications and the success of any IT organization depends on ensuring that the applications meet their business goals, and that they are available with little or no latency.

Over the years, users have moved farther away from headquarters, while on the flip side trends like datacenter consolidation, security requirements and the necessity of regulatory compliances have made applications less accessible to users.

This poses several challenges to IT executives in figuring out how their infrastructure can be architected to deliver applications from their origin to the datacenter, and down the line to the end users. And while doing this they need to ensure high performance, lower costs and higher security.

The answer lies in Application delivery solutions from leading vendors like Citrix which helps in boosting performance of Applications such as:

• Web Applications (Like any ERP, CRM, Internet, Intranet Portals etc)
• Windows Applications (Any Client Server Windows Applications like MS Exchange and Outlook etc)
