With workforces becoming more mobile and smart devices becoming more prevalent, virtualization is becoming a standard way to work. Examples of virtualization include server virtualization, in which multiple virtual servers reside on a host environment and users access their host computer through another device, and session virtualization, in which multiple users log in to a main host environment to
access their own desktop and a folder that houses personal data.
VelocIT Advantage monitors the host server(physical computer) that supports all virtualized sessions and manages each virtualized desktop or server within the host computer — every hour of every day. Relying on virtualization often increases a business’s performance without increasing its need to invest in more hardware. It allows you to increase efficiencies and provide greater reliability, lower power and cooling requirements and an overall smaller carbon footprint. It also makes it possible to recover more quickly from system issues — in minutes rather than hours.
When taking advantage of virtualization’s higher density of computing power, the reliability of hardware and infrastructure becomes a business concern. Users who rely on virtualization without addressing the leveraged risk associated with hardware failures can multiply the negative effects.
